Today's reveal also highlights some unique features of the set, such as Summons, which are part of Magic's first-ever Saga creatures that players can summon for aid during battles (check out Summon: Shiva in the gallery). Additionally, the set brings back double-faced cards, as exemplified by Cecil's dual nature as both a Dark Knight and a Redeemed Paladin.

The Final Fantasy set will boast over 100 legendary creature cards, including 55 legendary borderless cards illustrated by beloved artists from throughout Final Fantasy's storied history.

This eagerly awaited set is not only fully draftable but also Standard-legal and will launch on June 13. It will be accompanied by four preconstructed Commander decks, each inspired by a different Final Fantasy game: 6, 7, 10, and 14. Each deck contains 100 cards, blending new Final Fantasy cards with existing ones that feature new Final Fantasy art, promising an immersive experience for fans of both universes.
