With pre-orders flying off shelves and numerous Easter eggs being uncovered, Magic: The Gathering's imminent collaboration with Final Fantasy appears destined to become its most monumental crossover yet. Today, we're delighted to showcase six exclusive cards from the upcoming collection: three featuring timeless Yoshitaka Amano concept pieces and three displaying modern illustrations by Toshitaka Matsuda.

These special showcase cards belong to the "Through the Ages" bonus sheet included within the primary set. Rather than introducing new mechanics, they present existing Magic cards beautifully reinterpreted with Final Fantasy artwork and characters spanning generations - featuring visual references reaching back to the original 1987 title.

Differing from main set cards, Through the Ages selections won't enter Magic's Standard format unless their original versions were already legal. These premium alternate-art cards appear in Collector Boosters and approximately one in every three standard Play Boosters used for Draft and Sealed formats.
Players engaging heavily with this set - whether at local game stores or digitally via MTG Arena - will encounter these cards frequently during gameplay. Five featured cards possess Rare rarity, while Thrum of the Vestige stands out as an Uncommon reinterpretation of Magic's signature Lightning Bolt spell - destined to become one of the set's most impactful inclusions.
The Warrior of Light variant depicting Jodah, the Unifier guarantees popularity among Commander enthusiasts, featuring Amano's legendary artwork from Final Fantasy's Japanese box art. Similarly, Amano's iconic Cecil Harvey illustration from Final Fantasy IV graces Tymna the Weaver - one of Magic's most formidable partner commanders receiving only its second-ever reprint.
The physical card collection arrives June 13, with digital versions launching earlier on June 10 for MTG Arena and Magic Online. Final Fantasy devotees unfamiliar with Magic have compelling reason for excitement - FF7 Remake director Tetsuya Nomura hinted that Sephiroth's card design contains intentionally mysterious variations.
