The hype for this set has been building since its announcement, and a new trailer has only amplified the excitement. The singles market is also seeing sky-high prices, with the borderless version of Cloud, Midgar Mercenary, at $147.23, and its Surge Foil variant commanding an impressive $599, making it the most expensive card in the Final Fantasy set.
For those who've already preordered or are hunting for rare singles, several standout cards are worth watching in the coming weeks. One such card is the beautifully designed borderless Kefka, Court Mage, showcased in the new MTG teaser trailer from PAX East, featuring the iconic artwork of longtime Final Fantasy artist, Yoshitaka Amano.

TCG Player is an excellent resource for acquiring a wide range of single cards, allowing you to enhance your deck without relying on luck from booster packs. It's also a valuable tool for tracking card values post-release. If you manage to pull any Surge Foil cards from your preordered booster packs, you could be sitting on a valuable asset. Remember, though, that card prices can fluctuate, so some may change in value as the release date approaches.
Other cards to watch out for when opening boosters or considering standalone purchases include the Cloud, Ex-Soldier Commander card, currently priced at $45.99. Its value stems from its ability to equip other creatures on the battlefield easily. The full-art version of Yuffie Kisaragi - Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow, is also noteworthy, priced just under $100 due to its utility as a Commander and its rarity, especially with its classic late 90s FF7 art style.
Special cards like the borderless Traveling Chocobo, at $169.98, and the standard version at $114.97, are among the priciest. The teaser trailer featuring a limited edition Gold Chocobo adds to the allure of these cards.
While the hunt for rare cards can be costly, TCG Player also offers more affordable options, such as Sazh’s Chocobo for $1.96, Tonberry for $2.49, Summon: Shiva for $1.56, and Gladiolus Amicitia for just 33 cents.
TCG Player is also taking preorders for select Final Fantasy booster sets, though at prices above MSRP. The nine-booster Final Fantasy bundle (plus bonus cards) and the 30-pack Play Booster Display box are available for $87.99 and $164.99 plus shipping, respectively, which is around $20-$30 more than the suggested retail price. Single sealed boosters are priced at $7.99 each, plus shipping.

For those preordering the Starter Kit, note that it includes preconstructed decks without booster packs, so no surprise $600 cards here. Each deck contains one traditional foil legendary creature, five brand-new non-foil cards exclusive to Magic, and 54 cards from the main set. The kit also comes with four non-foil double-sided tokens, two MTG Arena code cards (one per deck), and two deck boxes, offering great value for the $20 price tag.
For new Magic: The Gathering players, the Arena code cards are particularly beneficial, allowing you to play both decks online and learn the game through AI matches or competitive play at your own pace.
