One day a Square Enix announcement will have the words 'Final Fantasy' and 'X' lining up in the correct order, and when that day comes I'll know we are getting the remake.

Until then, this art is pretty nice to look at.

I'm really enjoying what commander has done for magic in terms of cards. Def picking one or two of these up if they're good, I loved the fallout deck

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.

A "set" in Magic the Gathering is just a collection of cards that are sold together, but it's mostly all blind buying (opening packs of cards) to get a random assortment of cards from that set. So, unfortunately, there won't be anything like "buy this thing to get all the cards" - except for third party resellers on eBay that will have massively inflated prices.

friend of mine joked that future MTG will just be shit like black widow using sephiroth's katana as equipment and then using assassin's creed's haystack to phase her out lol.
not sure if I'm interested in the ff set yet, but I'm definitely picking up the wolverine and cap secret lair sets, before the big marvel tentpole/commanders next year.

Did Toriyama design Lightning? I thought it was Nomura. Mea culpa.

Edit: For what it's worth, Wikipedia says that Toriyama created Lightning and Nomura designed her. Whatever that means.

Who's the guy in the dress at the bottom of the OP? Someone from FFXIV?

I haven't ever been into card games, but $70 for a deck of cards seems steep. Though I would suspect this is probably one of those hobbies where the fans will pay a premium for collaboration stuff like this.

In for the Cloud deck (and maybe Terra). I need some more Commander decks anyway, my only two are an artifact Eldrazi and that LOTR Sauron deck (customized a bit).

Can't wait for mtg to say that chocobos and tifa's tits are racist because they vaguely look like fried chicken and watermelons.

I haven't played MTG in years, but I might pick up some of the FF cards depending on the illustrations. I do find it surprising that Square Enix is collaborating with MTG when they already have an official Final Fantasy Trading Card Game. While many of the FFTCG cards use concept art or captures of game footage, recently they've been putting a lot of effort into creating new illustrations, exclusive to FFTCG.

I don't mean to hijack the thread, but I thought that fans interested in the FF x MTG collaboration, might also be interested in the official FFTCG. I've shared a few card images in a spoiler box. Not only are the illustrations great, the gameplay is great too.

You can search for cards here: https://fftcg.square-enix-games.com/en/card-browser

This set is going to be standard-legal, similar to the LOTR set. So I suspect it'll also be in Arena.

The collab sets tend to be a bit more expensive yes, same with dr who and fallout recently, but regular sets can also shoot up in price when people figure out there's some valuable (either in money, or play) reprints in there. Like this one:
75 dollars, or 90 euros even and it's a regular set, no collab.
Or the endless punishment set, also standard, which is selling for outrageous 100+$€, simply because wizards fucked up distribution with wrong product code labels so it was nearly impossible to get.

And because there's no hard msrp even collabs can have wildly different prices:

It's all kind of fucked really

I dunno man, this whole cross IP stuff with Magic is kind of a turn off. Granted I haven't been into magic in 20 years.

I will try to pre-order some content in French when available.

Not interested in the Commander format at all. Since I stopped Magic years ago, I will probably pick a couple Bundles, so I get enough lands to make whatever I feel like, and a few additional boosters.

Whoever the jackass was sitting next to a bouquet of roses and drawing comparisons to Lightning and said roses is who we should be crediting for it.

Edit: Toriyama'd!

Fuck, I preordered several sets but missed out on that collectors commander four pack Amazon had…. That is the one I need. I did get the black commander formal though.

WTF is this? Does this get me all the cards? Its $600 dollars....halp!!!

Magic releases two different "sets" nowadays - a regular set, and a commander set. The commander set is like an "addon" set, that has all the cards that are in these commander decks, but can't be found in regular packs. You've also linked to the "Collector" commander bundle, which is the set of four decks (complete "commander set"), but with the foil / hologram paper treatment. In my opinion, not worth spending so much extra on, but collectors will certainly eat this shit up.

If you want ALL THE CARDS (and don't care about foil cards) from this set, you're going to want to pick up this set


along with at least two boxes of packs:


EDIT: Statistically two boxes of 30 packs each should get you the full set of cards, but it's an RNG numbers game. Depending on how many duplicate rares and whatnot you get, you could end up without a full set. My recommendation at that point is to buy singles of the ones your missing, or just keep ordering more and more $200 boxes.

Thank you very much as always!!

Looks like the command deck set is already gone. You were NOT lying about them eating that up!

So from what I understand based on this and a Reddit thread discussing this, the collector version is A) only for those who want foil/hologram cards (something I could not care less about, in fact some games in the past I found foil versions made the card worse looking IMHO), and B) the only version that is limited release.

So the regular version of the commander sets should get reprintings eventually even if the initial preorder stock is sold out, correct?

And for the cards that aren’t in these sets but rather in the booster packs (hopefully), are they also limited to VI, VII, X, and XIV, or are other FF games covered outside of the commander decks that are focused on those four titles. It’s a real shame to see not IX love here if it’s the former. :messenger_frowning_

Correct that the collectors commander sets are just foil versions of the regular sets for twice the price. Also correct that the non-collectors version should be printed in significantly higher quantities. However, it's hard to say if they've underestimated demand on this and how many of the regular sets they'll be printing. Magic sets also go in a rotation, and once the next set after this one releases, they won't print any more of this one (or at least, it's extremely rare circumstances if they do). This release is pretty similar to the LOTR one they did a while back - licensed product, but standard-legal set in regular rotation, and even those got hard to find pretty quickly. They did a limited reprint / rerelease last year that was exclusive to Costco at black friday, and that also sold out quickly.

As for cards from other games, yes they've confirmed that all the mainline games will be represented in the full set. Here's the homepage for the set:

The starter kit is two sixty card pre-made decks, designed to be balanced against each other. These are usually pretty decent, especially if you're a casual player or new to Magic. Looks like this time around, both of the starter decks are Final Fantasy 7 themed.
