The Final Fantasy set is set to include over 100 legendary creature cards, with 55 of these being borderless legends, crafted by beloved artists from the rich history of Final Fantasy. This set is fully draftable and Standard-legal, and will launch alongside 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 cards adorned with fresh Final Fantasy art. Mark your calendars for the set's release on June 13.
