One of the most exciting trading card crossovers in years is nearly here. Magic: The Gathering's Final Fantasy set is set to release on June 13, 2025, and the only set still available from major retailers is the Starter Kit. You can now preorder it at Amazon for just $19.87. UK readers can also secure it for £15.99. With the rest of the sets sold out and some singles already commanding prices over $500, it's wise to lock in your preorder before it disappears faster than you can say "Chocobo."

The upcoming set has been generating significant buzz since its announcement, and a new trailer has further amplified the excitement. Prices for singles are remarkably high, with the borderless version of Cloud, Midgar Mercenary, currently at $147.23, and the Surge Foil version at a staggering $599, making it the most expensive card in the entire Final Fantasy set.
If you've already preordered or are hunting for rare singles, there are several standout cards to keep an eye on in the coming weeks. One such card is the stunning borderless Kefka, Court Mage, showcased in the new MTG teaser trailer from PAX East, featuring the iconic artwork of longtime Final Fantasy artist, Yoshitaka Amano.

TCG Player is an excellent resource for a wide collection of single cards, allowing you to enhance your deck without relying on luck from booster packs. It's also a valuable tool for determining the worth of your cards once the new set is released. If you pull any Surge Foil cards from your booster pack preorders, you might find yourself with a significant asset. However, remember that prices fluctuate, so some cards may change in value as the release date approaches.
Other highlights to watch for when opening boosters or considering standalone purchases include the Cloud, Ex-Soldier Commander card, currently priced at $45.99. This card is particularly valuable due to its ability to equip other creatures on the field. The full-art version of Yuffie Kisaragi - Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow, is also noteworthy, priced just under $100, thanks to its utility as a Commander and its rarity, especially in the classic late '90s Final Fantasy 7 art style.
The special cards can be particularly pricey. Alongside the $599 Cloud card, the borderless version of the Traveling Chocobo card costs $169.98, while the standard version is a still-expensive $114.97. You can also purchase the new Traveling Chocobo cards, which had their own teaser trailer featuring a limited edition Gold Chocobo.
While seeking out the rarest cards can be costly, TCG Player offers many singles at more affordable prices. Examples include Sazh's Chocobo for $1.96, Tonberry for $2.49, the useful Summon: Shiva for $1.56, and even Gladiolus Amicitia for just 33 cents.
Moreover, TCG Player is hosting preorders for select Final Fantasy booster sets, albeit at prices above MSRP. There's the nine-booster Final Fantasy bundle (plus bonus cards) and a 30-pack Play Booster Display box, priced at $87.99 and $164.99 plus shipping, respectively, which is around $20-$30 above MSRP. Single sealed boosters are also available for $7.99 each plus shipping.

For those preordering the Starter Kit, it's important to note that each deck in the set is preconstructed and does not include boosters to open, so no surprise $600 cards. Instead, it includes one traditional foil legendary creature, five brand-new non-foil cards debuting in Magic, and 54 cards from the main set. The kit also comes with four non-foil double-sided tokens, two MTG Arena code cards (one per deck), and two deck boxes, offering great value for a $20 price tag.
For new Magic: The Gathering players, the Arena code cards are particularly useful. You can redeem both decks to play online, allowing you to learn the game at your own pace through AI matches or competitive play.
