What Are the Four Final Fantasy Commander Decks?

Wizards released four Commander decks with Magic: The Gathering FINAL FANTASY on 13 June 2025, one for each of four games. Each deck has 100 cards, 25 of them new to Magic (Scryfall numbers the 100 new FIC cards 1–100, and MTGJSON's lists put 25 in each deck), and two foil legendary creatures you can choose between as commander.

Which Final Fantasy Commander Deck Is Best?

Sources disagree because they rank different things: win rates, design, popularity and price. The four are close.

• By win rate, too close to call. On Playgroup.gg, Revival Trance wins 21.6% of four-player games, Scions & Spellcraft 21.5%, Counter Blitz 19.6% and Limit Break 18.8%, from 556 to 871 games each. With samples that size, even the 2.8-point gap between first and last isn't meaningful. In a four-player game a random deck wins 25% of the time, so all four sit a little below average: Playgroup puts them in its C tier, between 39th and 68th of 92 ranked precons.
• By reviewers, Counter Blitz. MTGGoldfish's Tomer Abramovici wrote in June 2025 that Counter Blitz is "the best designed deck with the least glaring issues" of the four. GamesRadar (Abigail Shannon, 17 June 2025) also ranks it first, then Limit Break, Revival Trance and Scions & Spellcraft last, which it calls unfocused.
• By popularity, Scions & Spellcraft. Y'shtola leads 59,286 decks on EDHREC, more than Cloud (33,851), Tidus (22,911) and Terra (21,355). She's also the commander people least like to play against: her EDHREC salt score is 1.79, against 0.13 to 0.73 for the other three. Our 2025 precon ranking calls Scions & Spellcraft the strongest of the four.
• By value, Revival Trance. It's the cheapest deck and holds the most card value per dollar (1.55×). Scions & Spellcraft is the most expensive and the thinnest (1.05×).

Our pick: Revival Trance is the best value. It costs about half as much as Scions & Spellcraft and holds the most card value per dollar. Our 2025 precon ranking rates decks on strength and upgrade ceiling, where Scions & Spellcraft comes 3rd and Revival Trance 11th of 13. This page picks on price: Revival Trance is the cheapest way to get a playable Final Fantasy deck. If you already know you love spell-heavy control, Scions & Spellcraft is the stronger deck to build up over time. GamesRadar ranks it last, calling the stock deck unfocused, which is a reason to upgrade it rather than play it as it comes.

All four, ranked

1. Scions & Spellcraft: the strongest deck (3rd of 13 in our 2025 ranking) and the most-built commander, but the most expensive at $58.05.
2. Limit Break: 4th of 13 in our 2025 ranking; the simplest plan and the most money in $1+ cards ($34.25).
3. Counter Blitz: 5th of 13; GamesRadar's first pick and MTGGoldfish's best-designed deck, but bracket 3 out of the box because of Farewell.
4. Revival Trance: 11th of 13 on strength, but the best value at $30.37 for $47.17 of cards. Buy it first if price matters most.

Revival Trance Precon (Final Fantasy VI): Terra and Celes

Commanders: Terra, Herald of Hope ({R}{W}{B}, 3/3) and Celes, Rune Knight ({1}{R}{W}{B}, 4/4) Colours: Mardu (red, white, black) Price on 9 Nov 2026: $30.37 sealed, $47.17 in cards

How it plays: at the start of each of your combats, Terra mills two cards and gains flying. When she deals combat damage to a player, you may pay {2} to return a creature with power 3 or less from your graveyard to the battlefield tapped.

Celes, the second commander, draws you a hand: when she enters you discard any number of cards and draw that many plus one. Whenever one or more other creatures you control enter from a graveyard (or are cast from one), she puts a +1/+1 counter on each creature you control. That makes her the better commander if you want a bigger reanimator deck than Terra's power-3 limit allows.

New cards worth knowing: the 25 new cards are mostly Final Fantasy VI's cast. Kefka, Dancing Mad, The Warring Triad, Summon: Esper Valigarmanda, Gogo, Mysterious Mime and Setzer, Wandering Gambler stand out, and Phoenix Down and Laughing Mad come over from the main Final Fantasy set. Gogo is the most valuable new card at $0.93.

Key reprints: Reanimate, Sun Titan, Sepulchral Primordial, Pitiless Plunderer, Stitcher's Supplier, Priest of Fell Rites, Anger, Solemn Simulacrum, Ruinous Ultimatum, Crackling Doom, Mortify and Swiftfoot Boots.

Most valuable cards in Revival Trance

Revival Trance precon upgrades

From 21,355 Terra decks on EDHREC (9 November 2026), the most-added cards that aren't in the precon, with the price of Scryfall's default printing on the same day (not always the cheapest printing). The same pricing applies to every upgrade list below:

• 
  $0.38Karmic Guide (59% of decks, $0.38)
• 
  $3.30Alesha, Who Laughs at Fate (56%, $3.30)
• 
  $0.50Faithless Looting (52%, $0.50)
• 
  $3.05Buried Alive (49%, $3.05)

• 
  $1.44Victimize (36%, $1.44)
• 
  $18.46Entomb (29%, $18.46)

The first five cheap ones (Karmic Guide, Alesha, Faithless Looting, Buried Alive and Victimize) cost $8.67 together. Players keep Reanimate (83% of decks), Celes (80%) and Stitcher's Supplier (74%) from the box.

Buy it if: you want the cheapest good Final Fantasy deck, or you like filling your graveyard and bringing creatures back.

Limit Break Precon (Final Fantasy VII): Cloud and Tifa

Commanders: Cloud, Ex-SOLDIER ({2}{R}{G}{W}, 4/4 haste) and Tifa, Martial Artist ({1}{R}{G}{W}, 4/4 melee) Colours: Naya (red, green, white) Price on 9 Nov 2026: $47.12 sealed, $60.64 in cards

How it plays: when Cloud enters, you attach an Equipment you control to him. Whenever he attacks, you draw a card for each equipped attacking creature, and if his power is 7 or more you also make two Treasures. The deck is mostly Equipment and creatures to carry it.

Tifa rewards the same plan from another angle: whenever creatures with power 7 or more deal combat damage to a player, she untaps your creatures and, in your first combat, gives you an extra combat phase.

New cards worth knowing: Sephiroth, Fallen Hero, Aerith, Last Ancient, Red XIII, Proud Warrior, Vincent, Vengeful Atoner, SOLDIER Military Program, Ultimate Magic: Meteor and Summoning Materia. Zack Fair and Barret Wallace are reprinted from the main Final Fantasy set.

Key reprints: Skullclamp, Puresteel Paladin, Lightning Greaves, Darksteel Plate, Sword of the Animist, Colossus Hammer, Conqueror's Flail, Champion's Helm, Hellkite Tyrant, Austere Command, Vandalblast and Chaos Warp. There are no Swords of X and Y and no Batterskull.

• Lands (37): 28 nonbasic lands, including Battlefield Forge, Rootbound Crag, Sunpetal Grove, Game Trail and Command Tower, plus 9 basics

Most valuable cards in Limit Break

Limit Break has the most money in cards worth $1 or more of the four decks: $34.25.

Limit Break precon upgrades

From 33,851 Cloud decks on EDHREC (9 November 2026):

• 
  $41.03Buster Sword (68% of decks, $41.03)
• 
  $21.21Cloud, Midgar Mercenary (68%, $21.21)
• 
  $1.70Sram, Senior Edificer (61%, $1.70)
• 
  $3.94Forge Anew (57%, $3.94)

• 
  $6.84Heroic Intervention (41%, $6.84)
• 
  $8.68Steelshaper's Gift (40%, $8.68)

Buster Sword and the second Cloud are the two cards most Cloud players add, but they cost $62 together, more than the deck. A budget package of Sram, Forge Anew, Genji Glove, Heroic Intervention and Steelshaper's Gift costs $28.13. Heroic Intervention is priced from its Star Trek Commander reprint, on presale until 13 November 2026, so expect that price to move. Players keep Puresteel Paladin (96% of decks), Colossus Hammer (90%), Red XIII (83%) and Tifa (82%).

Buy it if: this is your first Commander deck, or you like one big attacker. Playgroup.gg calls Limit Break the most beginner-friendly of the four.

Counter Blitz Precon (Final Fantasy X): Tidus and Yuna

Commanders: Tidus, Yuna's Guardian ({G}{W}{U}, 3/3) and Yuna, Grand Summoner ({1}{G}{W}{U}, 1/5) Colours: Bant (green, white, blue) Price on 9 Nov 2026: $48.29 sealed, $58.08 in cards

How it plays: at the start of each of your combats, Tidus can move a counter from one of your creatures to another. Once each turn, when your creatures with counters deal combat damage to a player, you may draw a card and proliferate. The deck spreads +1/+1 counters and keeps growing them.

Yuna is a mana creature: she taps for any colour, and the next creature you cast that turn enters with two extra +1/+1 counters. When another permanent you control with counters goes to the graveyard from the battlefield, you may put that many +1/+1 counters on target creature.

New cards worth knowing: Sphere Grid ($5.09) is the second most valuable new card in the four decks, after Scions & Spellcraft's Tataru Taru. Also Auron, Venerated Guardian, Sin, Unending Cataclysm, Summon: Yojimbo, Summon: Magus Sisters and Blitzball Stadium.

Key reprints: Walking Ballista, Hardened Scales, Three Visits, Farewell, Path to Exile, Luminous Broodmoth, Tireless Tracker, Forgotten Ancient, Inexorable Tide, Sol Ring and Arcane Signet.

Counter Blitz decklist

• Creatures (35): Tidus, Yuna's Guardian; Yuna, Grand Summoner; Auron, Venerated Guardian; Chocobo Knights; Gatta and Luzzu; Lord Jyscal Guado; Summon: Ixion; Summon: Yojimbo; Lulu, Stern Guardian; O'aka, Traveling Merchant; Rikku, Resourceful Guardian; Summon: Valefor; Maester Seymour; Summon: Magus Sisters; Tromell, Seymour's Butler; Kimahri, Valiant Guardian; Shelinda, Yevon Acolyte; Sin, Unending Cataclysm; Wakka, Devoted Guardian; Luminous Broodmoth; Scholar of New Horizons; Sunscorch Regent; Chasm Skulker; Bane of Progress; Forgotten Ancient; Generous Patron; Gyre Sage; Incubation Druid; Rampant Rejuvenator; Tireless Tracker; Altered Ego; Fathom Mage; Walking Ballista; Grateful Apparition; Duskshell Crawler
• Instants and sorceries (15): Protection Magic; Yuna's Decision; Yuna's Whistle; Collective Effort; Damning Verdict; Farewell; Promise of Loyalty; Pull from Tomorrow; Endless Detour; Destroy Evil; Path to Exile; An Offer You Can't Refuse; Farseek; Inspiring Call; Three Visits

• Artifacts (4): Blitzball Stadium; Arcane Signet; Everflowing Chalice; Sol Ring
• Lands (37): 28 nonbasic lands, including Flooded Grove, Hinterland Harbor, Glacial Fortress, Forge of Heroes and Command Tower, plus 9 basics

Most valuable cards in Counter Blitz

The foil Tidus in the deck sells for only $0.48; the non-foil Tidus was $2.78 on Scryfall the same day. Cards worth $1 or more add up to $30.46.

Counter Blitz precon upgrades

From 22,911 Tidus decks on EDHREC (9 November 2026):

• 
  $8.95Innkeeper's Talent (36% of decks, $8.95)
• 
  $5.42Ripples of Potential (34%, $5.42)
• 
  $60.18The Ozolith (32%, $60.18)

  $6.84Heroic Intervention (27%, $6.84)
• 
  $0.51Guiding Hydra (18% of the 3,715 Tidus decks built since its release, $0.51)

Skip The Ozolith on a budget. Innkeeper's Talent, Ripples of Potential, Counterspell, Karn's Bastion, Heroic Intervention and Guiding Hydra cost $29.33 together (Heroic Intervention priced from its Star Trek Commander presale reprint). Players keep Hardened Scales (89% of decks), Sphere Grid (88%), Damning Verdict (86%) and Yuna (85%). Our counters guide explains how +1/+1 and other counters interact.

Buy it if: you like +1/+1 counters and growing a board, and your group is fine with bracket 3 (or you'll take Farewell out).

Scions & Spellcraft Precon (Final Fantasy XIV): Y'shtola and G'raha Tia

Commanders: Y'shtola, Night's Blessed ({1}{W}{U}{B}, 2/4 vigilance) and G'raha Tia, Scion Reborn ({W}{U}{B}, 2/3 lifelink) Colours: Esper (white, blue, black) Price on 9 Nov 2026: $58.05 sealed, $61.08 in cards

How it plays: whenever you cast a noncreature spell with mana value 3 or more, Y'shtola deals 2 damage to each opponent and you gain 2 life. At each end step, if any player lost 4 or more life that turn, you draw a card. It's a control deck that drains the table one spell at a time.

G'raha Tia, once each turn when you cast a noncreature spell, lets you pay life equal to its mana value to make a 1/1 Hero token with that many +1/+1 counters. The box includes eight Hero tokens for him, backed with Spirit, Bird, Wizard and Human Soldier tokens.

New cards worth knowing: Tataru Taru is the most valuable card in the deck ($5.50). Also Emet-Selch of the Third Seat, Hraesvelgr of the First Brood, Urianger Augurelt, Krile Baldesion and Observed Stasis. Circle of Power, Astrologian's Planisphere, White Auracite and Sage's Nouliths are reprinted from the main set.

Key reprints: Snuff Out, Baleful Strix, Authority of the Consuls, Propaganda, Swords to Plowshares, Vindicate, Void Rend, Dig Through Time, Exsanguinate, Torrential Gearhulk, Archmage Emeritus, Thought Vessel and Crux of Fate.

Scions & Spellcraft decklist

• Creatures (23): Y'shtola, Night's Blessed; G'raha Tia, Scion Reborn; Alisaie Leveilleur; Summon: Good King Mog XII; Tataru Taru; Thancred Waters; Alphinaud Leveilleur; Hermes, Overseer of Elpis; Hraesvelgr of the First Brood; Fandaniel, Telophoroi Ascian; Ardbert, Warrior of Darkness; Emet-Selch of the Third Seat; Estinien Varlineau; Hildibrand Manderville; Krile Baldesion; Lyse Hext; Papalymo Totolymo; Urianger Augurelt; Archmage Emeritus; Torrential Gearhulk; Murderous Rider; Baleful Strix; Hypnotic Sprite
• Instants and sorceries (18): Transpose; Cleansing Nova; Final Judgment; Dig Through Time; Rite of Replication; Sublime Epiphany; Crux of Fate; Lethal Scheme; Vindicate; Void Rend; Circle of Power; Cut a Deal; Lingering Souls; Swords to Plowshares; Into the Story; Exsanguinate; Snuff Out; Syphon Mind
• Enchantments (6): Champions from Beyond; Observed Stasis; Eye of Nidhogg; Authority of the Consuls; Propaganda; Bastion of Remembrance
• Artifacts (16): Dancer's Chakrams; Blue Mage's Cane; Astrologian's Planisphere; Reaper's Scythe; Archaeomancer's Map; Coveted Jewel; Tome of Legends; White Auracite; Sage's Nouliths; Arcane Signet; Relic of Legends; Sol Ring; Talisman of Dominance; Talisman of Hierarchy; Talisman of Progress; Thought Vessel
• Lands (37): 26 nonbasic lands, including Drowned Catacomb, Underground River, Isolated Chapel, Sunken Ruins and Command Tower, plus 11 basics

Most valuable cards in Scions & Spellcraft

At $58.05 for $61.08 of cards, the deck is priced almost exactly at what's inside. People pay for Y'shtola, not for the reprints.

Scions & Spellcraft precon upgrades

From 59,286 Y'shtola decks on EDHREC (9 November 2026):

• 
  $1.16Curiosity (63% of decks, $1.16): every time Y'shtola damages an opponent, you draw
• 
  $0.61Frantic Search (53%, $0.61)
• 
  $4.13Dismember (51%, $4.13)
• 
  $6.39Ghostly Prison (49%, $6.39)
• 
  $1.62Unwind (47%, $1.62)
• 
  $2.45Reliquary Tower (46%, $2.45)
• 
  $2.96Toxic Deluge (41%, $2.96)

Buy it if: you like control and winning with spells, and you want the Final Fantasy commander with the most deck ideas online. Expect some groans at the table: Y'shtola has the highest salt score of the four.

What Are the Most Valuable Cards in Each Final Fantasy Precon?

No card in a standard deck is worth more than $9, and the full top-card lists are in each deck's section above.

How to Upgrade the Final Fantasy Precons on a Budget

The cheapest packages from each deck's EDHREC list above (prices from 9 November 2026):

For a guided list, MTGGoldfish's Tomer Abramovici wrote a $25 upgrade for each of the four decks (16 June 2025), and Card Kingdom's Jacob Lackner a $50 upgrade for Counter Blitz (21 May 2025). Prices have moved since those were written, so check them against today's.

Which Final Fantasy Deck Should You Buy?

Which Final Fantasy Precon Is Best for Beginners?

Limit Break. Playgroup.gg calls it the most beginner-friendly of the four, and its plan fits in a sentence: put Equipment on Cloud and attack. Revival Trance is the next easiest if you'd rather bring creatures back from the graveyard. Our deck-building guide covers what to change once you've played a few games.

What Comes in a Final Fantasy Commander Deck?

Every standard Final Fantasy Commander deck contains, per Wizards:

• A 100-card deck: a traditional foil face commander, a traditional foil featured commander, and 98 non-foil cards
• 10 double-sided tokens (Counter Blitz has 6 tokens plus 4 punch-out counter cards)
• 1 Collector Booster Sample Pack
• 1 reference card and 1 deck box

The tokens by deck: Revival Trance has 4 Copy // Moogle, 4 Treasure // Moogle and 2 The Blackjack // The Monarch. Limit Break has 8 Soldier // Rebel and 2 Foretell // Treasure. Counter Blitz has 4 Spirit // Squid and 2 Treasure // Clue. Scions & Spellcraft has 8 Hero tokens (backed with Spirit, Bird, Wizard and Human Soldier), plus Moogle // Treasure and Moogle // Zombie.

What's in the Collector's Edition?

The Collector's Edition has the same 100 cards and tokens, all in surge foil (Wizards). It launched at $149.99, against $69.99 for a standard deck (StarCityGames, February 2025, which calls it the "Special Edition").

TCGplayer also lists four Deluxe Commander Kits, each a standard deck plus 2 Play Boosters and 4 foil promos, at $80.34 to $107.89 on 9 November 2026. We couldn't confirm who puts them together. For playing, the standard deck is the better buy.

How Much Are the Final Fantasy Commander Decks? MSRP vs Today

The MSRP was $69.99 for a standard deck and $149.99 for a Collector's Edition (StarCityGames, February 2025). On 9 November 2026 every standard deck sold for less than its MSRP on TCGplayer:

Only buy a Collector's Edition if you want the surge foils. For playing, the cards are the same, and every standard deck costs less than a third of its Collector's Edition.

Is there a four-deck bundle?

Can You Use Celes, Tifa, Yuna or G'raha Tia as Commander?

Yes. Each deck's second legendary creature shares its colours, so you can swap it in as commander without changing the other 99 cards. Playgroup.gg lists all four as alternate commanders.

• Celes, Rune Knight (Revival Trance): loots on entry and puts a +1/+1 counter on your team whenever other creatures you control enter from a graveyard or are cast from one. Removes Terra's power-3 limit on what you bring back.
• Tifa, Martial Artist (Limit Break): untaps your team and adds a combat when a creature with power 7 or more connects. She leans on the same Equipment, especially Colossus Hammer (+10/+10), to reach 7 power.
• Yuna, Grand Summoner (Counter Blitz): turns the deck into a ramp-and-counters deck that doesn't need to attack with the commander.
• G'raha Tia, Scion Reborn (Scions & Spellcraft): makes a Hero token with counters every turn you cast a noncreature spell, at the cost of life. Cheaper to cast than Y'shtola (three mana instead of four).

Are the Final Fantasy Commander Decks Worth It?

At today's prices, yes. All four are well under their $69.99 MSRP, and all four have dropped since September 2026, when our Final Fantasy products guide had them at about $34, $53, $52 and $63.

Two caveats:

• The value is mostly small cards. Counting only cards worth $1 or more, none of the four decks is worth its sealed price: $20.08 in Revival Trance, $34.25 in Limit Break, $30.46 in Counter Blitz and $32.14 in Scions & Spellcraft. Buy a precon to play it.
• No standard deck has a big-money card. The most valuable card in any of them is Reanimate at $8.65.

Across the 80 precons in our Commander precon tracker, the median value ratio was about 1.3× in October 2026, so Revival Trance (1.55×) is above average and Scions & Spellcraft (1.05×) is below.

What Bracket Are the Final Fantasy Precons?

Revival Trance, Limit Break and Scions & Spellcraft have no Game Changers, so they play at bracket 2 as they come. Counter Blitz is bracket 3 because of Farewell, the only Game Changer among Final Fantasy Commander cards on Scryfall (9 November 2026); swap it for another board wipe to play at bracket 2. Farewell joined the list on 9 February 2026, so 2025 reviews may still call Counter Blitz bracket 2. Our Game Changers guide has the full list.

Are Final Fantasy Commander (FIC) Cards Standard Legal?

No, with a few exceptions. Most cards in these decks have the set code FIC. On Scryfall they're legal in Commander, Legacy, Vintage, Historic, Timeless, Brawl and Oathbreaker, but not Standard. The exceptions are the main-set (FIN) printings each deck includes, such as Phoenix Down, Zack Fair, Barret Wallace and Circle of Power, plus the basic lands. Those are Standard-legal. Limit Break holds two Barret cards (Barret, Avalanche Leader and Barret Wallace). They have different names, so the legend rule lets you control both.

Will the Final Fantasy Commander Decks Be Reprinted?

We found no Wizards announcement of a reprint of the four standard decks as of 9 November 2026, and all four were still selling on TCGplayer below MSRP that day. The one re-release so far is Limit Break (Game Edition), out 5 December 2025: the same 100-card deck plus a foil Cloud, Midgar Mercenary promo and a code for the FINAL FANTASY VII PC game ($84.66 on 9 November 2026; see the callout in the Limit Break section).

Can You Get the Final Fantasy Commander Decks on MTG Arena?

Not the paper decks. According to mtg.wiki, on 9 December 2025 MTG Arena put three 100-card Brawl decks in its store, each led by a legend from the Final Fantasy Commander set:

• Aerith, Last Ancient (green-white), 7,630 gems
• Emet-Selch of the Third Seat (blue-black), 6,020 gems
• Locke, Treasure Hunter (black-red), 6,270 gems

All three are at Arena's lowest "Foundation" power tier, and their decklists are different from the four precons. Each is prorated for cards you already own.

Conclusion: Best Value Is Revival Trance
