The cards revealed today are part of the "Through the Ages" bonus sheet included in the main set. These are reprints of existing cards, updated with concept art and characters from various Final Fantasy games. While none of these are brand-new or mechanically unique—unlike recently revealed cards or those in the previously announced Commander decks—they feature artwork spanning all the way back to the very first title in the Final Fantasy series.

Unlike main set cards, Through the Ages cards are not automatically legal in Magic’s Standard format (unless the original card was already legal, of course), essentially serving as alternate-art versions. These cards appear in Collector Boosters, as well as in roughly one out of every three regular Play Boosters used in Limited formats like Draft and Sealed.

That means if you frequently play this set at your local game store or digitally on platforms like Magic: The Gathering Arena, you’re likely to encounter these cards often. Five of the six cards are Rares, making them less common, but Thrum of the Vestige is notably an Uncommon. This is a thematic reskin of Lightning Bolt—one of Magic’s most ubiquitous cards—so this printing could have a notable impact on gameplay.

The Warrior of Light reskin of Jodah, the Unifier is also expected to be a standout—Jodah is a powerful and widely played Commander, and this version uses Amano’s original Final Fantasy Japanese box art. Likewise, Amano’s iconic illustration of Final Fantasy 4’s Cecil Harvey is featured on Tymna the Weaver—one of Magic’s strongest partner commanders, which has only been reprinted once before.

These cards launch in physical form as part of the wider Final Fantasy set on June 13, with digital versions available on MTG Arena and MTGO starting June 10. Even if you’re a Final Fantasy fan new to Magic, there’s reason to stay tuned: FF7 Remake series director Tetsuya Nomura hinted that the depiction of Sephiroth on one card has a unique design for a cryptic reason.
