Today’s reveal also highlights innovative features of the set, including the debut of Summons—a first-of-its-kind Saga creature mechanic allowing players to summon allies during battles (check out Summon: Shiva in the gallery). Additionally, double-faced cards make their return, exemplified by Cecil’s transformation into a Dark Knight and later into a Redeemed Paladin.
The Final Fantasy set will comprise over 100 legendary creature cards, featuring 55 legendary borderless cards, illustrated by beloved artists from throughout Final Fantasy’s storied history.
Magic: The Gathering’s Final Fantasy set is designed to be fully draftable and Standard-legal, releasing alongside four preconstructed Commander decks, each inspired by Final Fantasy titles 6, 7, 10, and 14. Each deck contains 100 cards, blending exclusive Final Fantasy content with existing cards adorned with new artwork. The set launches on June 13.
