Dec 31,25

With pre-orders selling out rapidly and numerous references being uncovered, Magic: The Gathering's upcoming collaboration with Final Fantasy is shaping up to be its most significant crossover yet. Today, we're excited to reveal six cards from the forthcoming set: three featuring classic artwork by Yoshitaka Amano and three showcasing more contemporary designs by Toshitaka Matsuda.

Today's revealed cards are part of the "Through the Ages" bonus sheet included in the main set. These are reprints of existing cards, featuring new artwork and characters from various Final Fantasy games. While they aren't brand new cards with unique mechanics like those recently showcased or in the Commander decks we previously revealed, their artwork spans the entire series, dating back to the very first game.

Unlike cards in the main set, Through the Ages cards are not automatically legal in Magic's Standard format (unless the original card was already legal, of course), essentially serving as alternate art versions. However, you can find them in Collector Boosters and in one out of every three regular Play Boosters used for Limited formats like Draft and Sealed.

This means if you frequently play this set at your local game store or digitally on platforms like Magic: The Gathering Arena, you're likely to encounter these cards often. Five of the six cards featured here are Rares, appearing less frequently, but Thrum of the Vestige is an Uncommon. This card is a reskin of one of Magic's most widely played cards, Lightning Bolt, and this particular printing is expected to make a notable impact on the set.

The Warrior of Light version of Jodah, the Unifier is also poised to be a fan favorite—Jodah is a powerful and frequently played Commander, featuring Amano's artwork from the original Japanese Final Fantasy box art. Similarly, Amano's iconic illustration of Final Fantasy 4's Cecil Harvey has been adapted for Tymna the Weaver, one of Magic's strongest partner commanders, which has only been reprinted once before.

These cards will be released physically as part of the larger Final Fantasy set on June 13, with digital versions launching on MTG Arena and MTGO on June 10. Even if you're a Final Fantasy fan who hasn't yet explored Magic, there's something to look forward to: FF7 Remake series director Tetsuya Nomura mentioned that Sephiroth's design on one card has been altered for a mysterious reason.
