In lawsuit you missed it, Final Fantasy’s Magic: The Gathering acceptable was, arsenic Ron Burgundy would say, “kind of a large deal”.
Just a fewer days ago, we shared that the Commander Decks had dropped nether MSRP for the archetypal clip astatine Amazon, but present you tin prevention adjacent much if you privation to bargain each four.
The implicit Final Fantasy precons bundle is present conscionable $199 connected Amazon, $80 disconnected its archetypal database price, and the champion discount we've seen truthful acold connected the Commander Decks.
Magic’s Final Fantasy Commander Decks Just Dropped In Price Again astatine Amazon
Final Fantasy - Commander Deck Bundle
After weeks of being upwards of $70 each (with the objection of Final Fantasy 6’s Revival Trance, which has ever hovered adjacent to MSRP), you tin present bargain a bundle of each 4 decks for $200 (or $199.99, to beryllium precise).
That’s $50 a deck, contempt 3 retired of 4 costing much than that erstwhile bought separately. In fact, Final Fantasy 7’s Limit Break is STILL $72.50 astatine Amazon.
Amazon reckons it’s 29% disconnected of the MSRP of the bundle, but fixed the terms immoderate of these decks person been going for (rightly oregon wrongly), we’d telephone that a more blimpish estimate.
As a reminder, here’s our ranking of the four.
4 - Revival Trance (Final Fantasy 6)
Final Fantasy - Revival Trance Commander Deck
Not conscionable focused connected Final Fantasy 6, but specifically the backmost fractional of the game, Revival Trance is helmed by Celes, tasked with rebuilding a enactment aft the satellite goes to ruin.
That’d beryllium a large taxable for a revival deck, but determination aren’t that galore cards that, well, revive fallen comrades from your graveyard oregon anyone else's.
There are besides nary large reprints of enactment here, which is simply a shame.
3 - Scions and Spellcraft (Final Fantasy 14)
Final Fantasy - Scions and Spellcraft Commander Deck
Final Fantasy 14’s Commander platform is somewhat of a uncommon beast insofar arsenic it’s a spellslinger-style platform successful Esper colors (White, Black, Blue).
As a result, its absorption is connected non-creature spells and dishing retired harm with Y’Shtola, 1 of the 2 Commanders. It’s conscionable a small dilatory to get going, needing you to propulsion retired arsenic overmuch mana arsenic imaginable successful aboriginal turns to beryllium capable to commencement slinging those large spells.
Propaganda and Snuff Out are decent reprints, but there’s small other of large fiscal value.
2 - Limit Break (Final Fantasy 7)
Final Fantasy - Limit Break Commander Deck
Final Fantasy 7’s platform is perfectly fantastic, and really dovetails nicely with Fallout’s Scrappy Survivors precon from past twelvemonth (as agelong arsenic you're blessed with yet different bold RPG crossover).
It’s each astir getting your creatures to 7 powerfulness to trigger further effects from Cloud oregon Tifa, portion minimizing equip costs to let you to power cogwheel and support opponents guessing.
Reprint worth is decent, too. Not lone bash you get Darksteel Plate, Sword of the Animist, and Fire-Lit Thicket, but Clever Concealment has immoderate astonishing caller creation of Cloud’s disguise.
1 - Counter Blitz (Final Fantasy 10)
Final Fantasy - Counter Blitz Commander Deck
Arguably the astir balanced platform retired of the box, Tidus and Yuna helm this Final Fantasy 10 offering.
It’s each astir counters, meaning you tin buff your creatures, woody damage, and proliferate. It truly could get retired of manus quickly, and you tin adjacent get originative with the Summons successful the deck, too.
Reprint-wise, you tin get Walking Ballista, Damning Verdict, and Bane of Progress, each with caller artwork.
