The only commander deck missing from Amazon’s pre-order options at the time of typing this is the one themed after Final Fantasy 7 with Cloud leading the charge.

At Least One Item Has Already Sold Out, Though
Just because the FF7 commander deck isn’t available right now doesn’t mean there aren’t ways to get your hands on cards featuring characters from Final Fantasy 7.The Starter Kithas Cloud and Sephiroth up front and, considering this will likely be a first foray into MTG for a lot of Final Fantasy fans whose interest has been piqued by the crossover, is a perfect place to start.It’s also the cheapest item in the set at $19.99, so a perfect place to start.
Magic: The Gathering - Final Fantasy Commander Deck
Final Fantasy is coming to Magic: The Gathering as a part of the TCG’s ongoing Universes Beyond saga that brings in worlds and characters from other IPs. Each Commander Deck is based on a different Final Fantasy game with VI, VII, X, and XIV to choose from.
Other items still available includethe Final Fantasy Bundleand the slightly more expensiveGift Edition of the bundle. The finer details of what exactly will be in those bundles hasn’t been revealed, however, regular MTG bundles tend to include booster packs and accessories, among other things. Gift Bundles are usually very similar with extras thrown in for the additional money they cost, in this instance another $10.
Last but not least, for those who are all in on this crossover and willing to spend the money to prove it,there’s the Booster Box. If you just love Final Fantasy and you want cards from all four of the games from which this crossover will pull, the Booster Box includes 30 packs, each pack containing 14 cards. While there will, of course, be quite a few duplicates in there, that will net you a lot of the cards included in this upcoming set.
