Nominee for Best Non-Sports Card Product

Released in 2025 as part of the Universes Beyond line, the Magic: The Gathering—FINAL FANTASY collaboration brought one of gaming’s most storied franchises into the TCG world. The set spanned the breadth of FINAL FANTASY's 16 mainline games, reimagined through Magic’s mechanics.

Cards appeared across Commander decks, collector boosters, and starter kits, blending gameplay depth with collectible appeal. Wizards of the Coast emphasized iconic characters and summons while ensuring play balance within the wider Magic ecosystem.

The crossover demonstrated how trading cards can act as a medium for cultural storytelling, uniting FINAL FANTASY's global fandom with Magic’s player and collector base. It quickly became one of the most anticipated Universes Beyond releases to date.
