Magic: The Gathering’snumerous crossovers have always been exciting, but the hype surrounding theFinal Fantasycollab was palpable. From its choice of iconic games for its legendary commander decks to the inclusion of some very inspired art, it is clear that a lot of effort went into this set. Naturally, it also meant that pre-orders were flying off their respective digital shelves, and the prices of each commander deck skyrocketed well above their original RRP. If you want to grab one of theseFinal Fantasydecks now, you’ll probably have to pay a lot more.
However, as much as we’re all enjoying theoverpoweredFinal Fantasy MTGdecksfor the time being, it’s hard not to set one’s eyes on the next collaboration and, specifically, which brand or IP it will be with. We’ve already enjoyed the likes ofDoctor Who,Fallout, andWarhammer 40,000, but there are still so many IPs for Wizards of the Coast to draw from for its rather respectful and, frankly, impressive collaborations. In fact,there is another RPG series, just likeFinal Fantasy, that deserves theMTGtreatment, and it is very possible it could happen.
Magic: The Gathering’s Final Fantasy Set Is A Massive Hit
It Is The Best-Selling Set In MTG History
To perhaps absolutely no one’s surprise, theFinal Fantasycollaboration isMTG’sbest-selling setof all time. In fact, according to Hasbro’s chief executive, Chris Cocks, during an investors' call from April 2025 available via the officialHasbro website,theFinal Fantasycollab became the best-selling set before it was even officially releasedthanks to its unbelievably successful pre-orders. It’s great to see so manyFinal Fantasyfans flock to the set, especially as the art and theming are of exceptionally high quality.
This success is partially due to the inherent popularity of the IP, as well as the growing interest inMTG’s Universes Beyondsets, but also thanks to thebestFinal Fantasy MTGcardsthat were released as both a part of the precons and those found in boosters. These cards were completely transformative, and some are must-haves for all players, regardless of their affinity with the franchise. Of course,this dedication to theFFset has me wondering just how amazing anElder Scrollscollaboration would be.
Wizards Of The Coast Needs To Go To The Elder Scrolls Next
It Is The Perfect Crossover
Considering how theFinal Fantasycollaborationencouraged newcomers to playMTG, one can only imagine how well anElder Scrollsset would do. It could form commander decks aroundSkyrim,Oblivion,Morrowind, and evenThe Elder Scrolls Online, or delve deeper into the series' history and look atDaggerfallandArenafor inspiration. With such rich and interesting characters and lore,there is so much potential for amazing decks and art based around this unbelievably immersive universe.
It also feels like the most realistic option, especially considering Wizards of the Coast have already partnered with Bethesda for the very goodFallout Universes Beyondset. AnElder Scrolls MTGset would almost certainly blow theFinal Fantasycollaboration’s sales out of the water, especially if it is timed alongside the nextElder Scrolls 6announcement, trailer, or even release date - although who knows how far away that could be. While there are lots of amazing IPMagic: The Gatheringshould collaborate with, anElder Scrollsset just makes the most sense afterFinal Fantasy’shuge success.
