June might seem like a distant dream for Magic: The Gathering fans eagerly awaiting the new Final Fantasy set, but the wait just got a bit more exciting. Wizards of the Coast has given us a sneak peek at over a dozen brand-new cards from the set, featuring iconic characters like Sephiroth, Yuffie, Cecil, Garland, Chaos, and more. This reveal not only showcases new cards but also includes stunning art variations and the previously unveiled commander cards: Tidus, Cloud, Y'shtola, and Terra.
Among the highlights are powerful legendary cards like Sephiroth and Cecil, alongside a fresh take on the Food token art. Art variations on cards such as Stilzkin, Moogle Merchant; Sin, Spira's Punishment; and Summon: Shiva add to the visual feast. You can explore the full gallery below:

Today's reveal also introduces some unique features of the set, including Summons, which are part of Magic's first-ever Saga creatures that players can summon for aid in battle (check out Summon: Shiva in the gallery). Additionally, the set brings back double-faced cards, exemplified by Cecil's dual nature as a Dark Knight and a Redeemed Paladin.
The Final Fantasy set will boast over 100 legendary creature cards, with 55 of them being borderless and illustrated by fan-favorite artists from the Final Fantasy universe. This set is not only fully draftable but also Standard-legal, and it will launch alongside four preconstructed Commander decks, each themed around a different Final Fantasy game: 6, 7, 10, and 14. Each deck contains 100 cards, blending new Final Fantasy cards with existing cards featuring new Final Fantasy art. Mark your calendars for the set's release on June 13.
