Cards Found In Play Boosters
Play boosters are the most basic and simple way of collecting MTG’s Final Fantasy set. Each pack contains 14 cards and either a token or an art card, and are primarily designed for playinglimited formats like Sealed or Draft.
Though they containfewer art treatmentsthan a Collector booster, you can still get almost everything.
Description
Regular Cards
These are normal cards in the usual Magic: The Gathering card frame. These cards have the FF logo as the set icon, and FIN as the set code in thebottom left cornerof the card. However, these arenot every card with FIN as the set code, due to some only being found in the Starter kit.
Every card in this frame is legal inStandard, Pioneer, Modern, Vintage, Legacy, and Commander.
Main Set Borderless Character Cards
Most legendary creatures in the main Final Fantasy set (FIN) also receive this alternate art treatment that places them overa flat background with their game’s roman numerals. Play boosters includeboth foil and non-foil versions.
Borderless Art
It’s not just legendary creatures that get a borderless treatment, though. Just about anything that is based on a named thing in Final Fantasy also received afull-art borderless version.
Many of these are woodblock or traditional painting styles, and can be found infoil and non-foilin Play boosters.
Borderless Full-Art Chocobo
One card in this set, Traveling Chocobo, haseight different versions. Play boosters only have two of the eight: the regular-frame version, and the normal-coloured full-art borderless treatment.
Through The Ages
These are full-art borderless cards that feature classic art from the Final Fantasy series laid over reprints of existing Magic cards. These don’t have a set icon, but haveFCA in the lower left corner.
In Play boosters, you’ll find a Through the Ages card inone in every three packs,replacing the common card. You aretwice as likely to get an uncommon than a rare, and roughlythree times more likely to get a rare than a mythic rare.
Through The Ages cards are not legal in any formatsunless the card it is a reprint of already is. They do not enter Standard alongside the regular Final Fantasy cards.
Cards Found In Collector Boosters
Collector boosters are the premium product for Final Fantasy, and includeevery art treatment and card found across the main set, Through the Ages, the Commander decks, and the Starter decks, with a few important caveats.
Like Play boosters, Collector boosters can includeany card from the regular-frame main set releasewith the set code FIN, bar Starter kit cards.
However, you’ll be more likely to findfoil versions of thesein Collector boosters.
Borderless Character Cards
Collector boosters feature more borderless cards than Play boosters, as they also feature exclusive alt-art versions ofcards otherwise only found in the Commander decks.
This means you can find borderless cards withthe set code FICalongside the main set’s FIN.
Collector’s boosters also have a chance of includingthe full-art versions of non-character cards.
This includes the Saga enchantments found in theCommander decks, like Summon: Good King Mog XII or Summon: Magus Sisters.
Through The Ages cards also make an appearance in Collector boosters, appearing a lot more frequently, with oneguaranteed in every pack.
There is a 50 percent change these cards will be foil, while some are also available in the Collector-exclusiveSurge foiltreatment that gives them an uneven, oil-slicked appearance.
Borderless Traveling Chocobos
Collector boosters feature all eight of the potential versions of Traveling Chocobo card, in contrast to Play boosters' one. There are the two found in Play boosters, and then regular, pink, blue, green, and black neon ink treatments, which are more vivid.
The final Chocobo is likely the rarest card in the entire set. Found only inEnglish-language Collector boosters, there are only77 copiesof the goldenserialisedTraveling Chocobo, each with their own number printed on them.
Extended Art Commander Deck Cards
The Commander decks feature a number of exclusive cards designed purely for those decks. These all feature the set code FIC and a Chocobo as the set icon, andcan’t be found in Play boosters.
However, they can be found in Collector’s boosters, with them being the only way to getextended art versionsthat have the art go from edge to edge.
Every card that isnot a reprint of an existing cardin these Commander decks can be found as an extended art card in a Collector booster.
Extended Art Starter Kit Cards
Somewhat confusingly, there are also exclusive cards found in the Starter kit. Instead of using a new set code like the Commander decks, though, these use theregular FIN code of the main set.
Collector boosters are the only way to get extended art of Starter kit-exclusive cards likeSeymour Flux; Sephiroth, Planet’s Heir; and Lightning, Security Sergeant.
Cards Found In Commander Decks
These four 100-card preconstructed decks are for Magic’s most popular format, Commander. They include a mix ofexclusive cards designed for them, cards found in themain Final Fantasy set, andreprints of older cards with new, Final Fantasy-themed art.
The decks are based on four games:
Importantly,these decks do not include every card in the Final Fantasy set. As mentioned, they’re original decks with their own cards (and their own set code, FIC), with actually little overlap with the main Final Fantasy set. you’re able to’t play with these cards in Standard, but they are, of course, legal inCommander, which is more widely played.
You can also play with cards from the main Final Fantasy set in Commander as well.
Collector’s Commander Decks
These are a more expensive version of theCommander decks, featuring a white box instead of the regular black.
These include the only way to getregular-frame surge foil treatmentsof the decks, with every single card given the same oily foil texture. While it can be hard to read, the exclusivity of these cards does often make themmore valuable than non-surge cards.
Collector Booster Sample Pack
Commander decks come with athree-card Collector booster sample pack. These can includeany treatment found in a Collector booster, however due to the smaller pack size naturally don’t guarantee a Through the Ages card.
Cards Found In The Starter Kit
The final boxed product you’ll find new Final Fantasy cards in is in the Starter kit. This includes two preconstructed decks, designed to beplayed against each otheras a way to learn the game.
As previously mentioned, these decks all use the main set’s set icon and code, butsome cards here can’t be found in Play booster packs. These cards are:
Fortunately, these are also the easiest cards to get.Buying the Starter kit will get you all of these cards, including a number of other cards from the main Final Fantasy set. These products arenot randomised, guaranteeing you’ll get them.
