The anticipation for this crossover has been building since its announcement, further fueled by a new trailer that has ramped up the excitement. In the singles market, prices are soaring, with the borderless version of Cloud, Midgar Mercenary, currently at $147.23, while the Surge Foil version commands a staggering $599, making it the most expensive card in the entire Final Fantasy set.
If you're already in on the preorder or scouting for rare singles, keep an eye on some standout cards. One such card is the stunning borderless Kefka, Court Mage, featured in the new MTG teaser trailer from PAX East, illustrated by the legendary Final Fantasy artist, Yoshitaka Amano.

TCG Player is an excellent resource for a wide array of single cards, enabling you to enhance your deck without relying on luck from booster packs. It's also useful for checking the value of your cards post-release. If you pull any Surge Foil cards from your booster pack preorders, you could be sitting on a valuable asset. Keep in mind, however, that prices fluctuate, so some cards may change in value as the release approaches.
Other notable cards to watch out for include the Cloud, Ex-Soldier Commander card, currently priced at $45.99. This card is highly valued for its ability to equip other creatures on the field effortlessly. The full-art version of Yuffie Kisaragi - Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow, priced just under $100, is sought after due to its rarity and its use as a Commander, especially with its iconic late '90s FF7 art style.
The premium cards can fetch high prices, with the borderless version of Traveling Chocobo at $169.98 and its standard counterpart at $114.97. You can also find the new Traveling Chocobo cards, which were highlighted in their own teaser trailer featuring a limited edition Gold Chocobo.
While some of the rarest cards can be expensive, TCG Player offers a range of affordable singles, such as Sazh’s Chocobo for $1.96, Tonberry for $2.49, the versatile Summon: Shiva for $1.56, and even Gladiolus Amicitia for just 33 cents.
Moreover, TCG Player is currently hosting preorders for select Final Fantasy booster sets, albeit at prices above MSRP. You can find the nine-booster Final Fantasy bundle (plus bonus cards) and a 30-pack Play Booster Display box for $87.99 and $164.99 plus shipping, respectively, which is $20-$30 above MSRP. Single sealed boosters are also available for $7.99 each plus shipping.

For those preordering the Starter Kit, it's important to note that each deck is preconstructed and does not include boosters to open, so no chance of pulling a surprise $600 card. Instead, it features one traditional foil legendary creature, five brand-new non-foil cards debuting in Magic, and 54 cards from the main set. The kit also includes four non-foil double-sided tokens, two MTG Arena code cards (one per deck), and two deck boxes, offering exceptional value for a $20 price tag.
For new Magic: The Gathering players, the Arena code cards are particularly beneficial. Redeeming both decks allows you to play online, providing an opportunity to learn the game at your own pace through AI matches or competitive play.
