Magic: The Gathering x Final Fantasy - 6 Through the Ages Cards

View 7 ImagesThese newly revealed cards are part of the "Through the Ages" bonus sheet, integrated into the larger main set. They consist of reprints of existing cards, reimagined with concept art and characters from various Final Fantasy games. While they don't introduce new or mechanically unique cards like those showcased recently or found in the Commander decks, they boast artwork that spans from the very first game in the series to more recent entries.

$7.99 at TCGPlayerUnlike cards in the main set, Through the Ages cards do not gain Standard format legality in Magic: The Gathering (although they retain legality if the original card was already legal). Essentially, they serve as alternate art versions of existing cards. However, you can find them in both the premium Collector Boosters and one in every three regular Play Boosters, which are used for Limited events like Draft and Sealed.

If you're planning to dive deep into this set, whether at your local game store or digitally on platforms like Magic: The Gathering Arena, you're likely to encounter these cards frequently. Five of the six cards are Rares, making them less common, but Thrum of the Vestige stands out as an Uncommon. This card is a reskin of the iconic Lightning Bolt, and its presence could significantly influence the set's dynamics.

The Warrior of Light reprint of Jodah, the Unifier, is expected to be highly sought after. Jodah is a powerful and popular Commander, and the art used here is Amano's from the original Final Fantasy Japanese boxart. Similarly, Amano's iconic art for Final Fantasy 4's Cecil Harvey has been repurposed for Tymna the Weaver, one of Magic's strongest partner commanders, which has only been reprinted once before.

These cards will be available 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 not yet into Magic, there's still excitement to be had, as FF7 Remake series director Tetsuya Nomura hinted that the design of Sephiroth on one card holds a mysterious significance.
