🎮 The ideal gateway into Magic through the Final Fantasy universe
The Starter Kit Final Fantasy is the easiest way to learn how to play Magic: The Gathering with a friend, diving straight into the world of the Final Fantasy video game saga. This is the official beginner kit for the Final Fantasy set, a Universes Beyond collaboration between Wizards of the Coast and Square Enix that brings the heroes, summons and locations of the iconic games together with the rules of Magic. No prior knowledge of the game is required: everything you need for a first game is in the box, ready to open and play.
This is the English edition of the Starter Kit: the cards and the guide are in English. A perfect format to discover Magic, introduce a loved one to the game, or step back into the atmosphere of the Final Fantasy episodes with cards in hand.
📦 Two ready-to-play decks, head to head
At the heart of the Starter Kit Final Fantasy are two ready-to-play 60-card decks, designed to face off right out of the box. On one side, Warriors of Light, a deck led by Cloud and his heroes, built around light and resilience. On the other, Villains of Darkness, headed by the iconic Sephiroth and his allies, darker and more calculating. Two camps, two moods, a duel you can replay endlessly.
The kit provides everything you need to play immediately: two deck boxes to store the decks, a Magic play guide to learn the rules step by step, double-sided tokens, and reference cards (turn order, attacking and blocking) to guide your first games. You sit down, you deal, you play — learning happens card by card, in the heat of the action.
🌍 The Final Fantasy universe, from heroes to summons
Beyond the rules, the Starter Kit Final Fantasy is a journey through the series' mythology. It features the saga's iconic faces — Cloud, Sephiroth and their companions — along with the imagery that has shaped generations of players: the Chocobo, the Moogles, and legendary summons such as Bahamut and Ifrit. Each card is a reimagining of Final Fantasy's characters and creatures through the lens of Magic, with polished artwork that fans will recognise instantly.
To explore the collaboration between Magic and Square Enix, the artwork and the full range in depth, you can visit the official Final Fantasy set page at Wizards of the Coast.
🎯 Who is it for? Beginners, fans and collectors
The Starter Kit Final Fantasy is aimed first at new players and at those who want to introduce a friend or a child to the game: two balanced decks, a clear guide, and zero deck-building to do. It also makes an ideal gift for a Final Fantasy fan curious about Magic, who will discover the game with characters they already love.
An extra bonus: the kit includes MTG Arena code cards that unlock both decks in the digital version of the game (in select regions). You learn to play at the table, then replay the same decks online — a natural bridge between physical and digital play. Collectors, for their part, will appreciate owning a sealed product that captures this Magic × Final Fantasy collaboration.
🚀 Going further after the Starter Kit
Once your first games are played, Magic's Final Fantasy universe opens up wide. To grow your collection and try opening new cards, the simplest step is to reach for a single Play booster from the set, perfect for sampling the thrill of opening without breaking the bank. To step things up, the full Final Fantasy booster box offers the best value and plenty to fuel several opening sessions.
And when the urge for multiplayer, more strategic games kicks in, the Commander format is the logical next step: the Counter Blitz Commander deck delivers a richer Final Fantasy experience, playable with several people around the table. From the Starter Kit to Commander, every format extends the joy of playing in the Final Fantasy universe.
