Summary

  • Magic: The Gathering’s Final Fantasy Starter Kit have reportedly leaked two months early, featuring Cloud and Sephiroth as main commanders.
  • The new crossover decks include popular Final Fantasy characters like Freya, Beatrix, Ultimecia, and Lightning.
  • The expansion is set to launch on June 13.

Based on a social media update, it appears that certain cards from the forthcoming crossover pack between Magic: The Gathering and Final Fantasy have been prematurely disclosed due to an early delivery. The specific Magic: The Gathering cards involved are part of the Final Fantasy Starter Kit, showcasing Cloud and Sephiroth, key figures from Final Fantasy 7, along with other characters from the franchise.

In October 2024, it was revealed that the Final Fantasy series would be integrated into Magic: The Gathering’s ongoing Universes Beyond project, joining other well-known franchises such as Assassin’s Creed and Marvel’s Spider-Man. A booster set for the Final Fantasy franchise will be released in 2025, including four Commander Decks centered around popular characters like Tidus, Cloud, Terra, and Y’shtola, as well as notorious villains such as Kefka, Sephiroth, and Emet-Selch. The collaboration between Wizards of the Coast and Square Enix for Final Fantasy in Magic: The Gathering will officially debut on June 13, 2025.

Prior to the official release of Final Fantasy in Magic: The Gathering, it appears that the Starter Kit for the upcoming expansion has been shipped ahead of schedule. A user on the r/FinalFantasy subreddit from Brazil reportedly revealed this, stating that the Final Fantasy Starter Kit had violated its street date. The cards they received were printed in Spanish, and four screenshots showed over 120 cards, with certain cards appearing multiple times within each deck. Each ready-to-play deck included in the Starter Kit contains 60 cards, with Cloud leading a Red and White deck, while Sephiroth commands a Blue and Black deck in another.

Magic: The Gathering’s Final Fantasy Starter Kit Was Leaked Two Months Before Release

  • The Final Fantasy Starter Kit for Magic: The Gathering was leaked two months before its June release.
  • The Starter Kit features Cloud and Sephiroth as the main commanders, along with several franchise references.
  • Cloud’s Deck includes characters like Freya and Beatrix, while Sephiroth’s Deck features Ultimecia.
  • The full Magic: The Gathering crossover set with Final Fantasy launches June 13.

At the moment, you can pre-order The Starter Kit on Amazon for $20. Some settings like Mount Ordeals from Final Fantasy 4 and Rabanastre, the Royal City of Final Fantasy 12, were mentioned as realms that can be drawn upon to empower spells or conjure legendary beings. Characters such as Beatrix, Freya, Steiner from Final Fantasy 9 and Lightning from Final Fantasy 13 have been confirmed to be legendary creature cards in Cloud’s collection.

Instead of his deck starting with typical characters, Sephiroth’s deck featured Ultimecia from Final Fantasy 8 and Zenos’ Magitek Scythe from Final Fantasy 14. Moreover, famous scenes from the Final Fantasy series, such as Sabin’s Phantom Train Suplex, were transformed into spell cards that could be used to ward off creatures or artifacts.

While it’s important to be cautious about rumors, as of now, details about other cards from the upcoming “Magic: The Gathering” set have not been disclosed yet. We’ll find out later which characters from the “Final Fantasy” series will join “Magic: The Gathering” once the expansion is officially launched.
