Top-Selling Final Fantasy MTG Cards Pre-Release News - Latest Updates and Information

While some long-time Magic: The Gathering fans may express concerns about the increasing influence of Universes Beyond on the game’s release schedule, there's no denying it brings fresh attention and a broader audience to the franchise.

The latest Final Fantasy-themed set has already surpassed previous releases in terms of preorder success, and it won’t even launch until this weekend (June 13). Adding to that, there’s also the Secret Lair drop scheduled for June 9—though that’s an entirely different category of collectible.

As expected, Summons play a major role in this Final Fantasy crossover, often functioning as Saga-style effects. Step two of Primal Odin is especially powerful, capable of eliminating a player entirely. It’s an absolute powerhouse in Commander decks and sells for under $2.
