Limit Break Precon Guide - Final Fantasy

Revival Trance Precon Guide - Final Fantasy

On Monday, May 12th, Wizards of the Coast revealed all four of the Final Fantasy precon decklists for Commander. The four decks are fairly interesting, from the new cards to their reprints, all printed in an in-universe theme. But what cards are particularly powerful in these decks? What reprints make these decks worth getting? Read on, and we'll help with that.
<h2>Magic: The Gathering x Final Fantasy's New Commander Cards</h2>
To kick this off, there are a few things you'll need to know. First off, there are four distinct Commander precons in this release. These have an MSRP of $69.99. However, there is also a set of "Collector's Edition" precons, each of which has an MSRP of $149.99. These collector items are the same as the standard-issue precons, just with a fully foiled-out deck. They're also likely to be extremely sought-after and hard to find, and when they're bought out, resellers may sell them at inflated markups.
However, it's not our purview to discuss markups. You came here to read up on the precons themselves, and so that's what we will talk about from here on!
<h2>The Decks</h2>
The four Final Fantasy preconstructed decks each represent one of four games from the mainline 16-game series. Let's go over each!
<h3>Revival Trance</h3>
<a href="https://archidekt.com/decks/13106730/revival_trance_final_fantasy_commander">Revival Trance</a> is a white-black-red deck that represents FFVI. It runs a reanimation strategy seeking to fill your graveyard while reaping value from it. <a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Terra, Herald of Hope" href="#" target="_blank">Terra, Herald of Hope</a> is the face commander of Revival Trance, while <a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Celes, Rune Knight" href="#" target="_blank">Celes, Rune Knight</a> is its featured commander (or backup commander, though Wizards now uses this new nomenclature).

It's a white-blue-black deck that revolves around FFXIV. This deck has a small legendary theme, but overall wants to act as a control-archetype deck that capitalizes on noncreature spells. <a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Y&#039;shtola, Night&#039;s Blessed" href="#" target="_blank">Y&#039;shtola, Night&#039;s Blessed</a> is its face commander, while <a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="G&#039;raha Tia, Scion Reborn" href="#" target="_blank">G&#039;raha Tia, Scion Reborn</a> is the featured commander.

<h2>The Best Cards In the Decks</h2>
So, beyond what we've already mentioned, we're going to give players a bit of breathing room regarding newly printed cards from Final Fantasy. The new cards in this release will likely find their place in Commander. However, they're still super fresh, and players will very possibly want to figure out a means to give these cards a home in their decks.
On the flipside, very notably, there are a slew of high-end reprints in these decks, and that's what might be worth talking about at this time.
Some of the stronger reprints in these Commander decks include:
<ul>
<li><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Rise of the Dark Realms" href="#" target="_blank">Rise of the Dark Realms</a> (Revival Trance)</li>

</ul>
Overall, reprint playability appears to be pretty widespread among the different precons, but in terms of value, Limit Break has this in spades.
All in all, the decks each have something of value to them. Whether you're a reanimator fan, a Voltron aficionado, or a control player, these decks are pretty awesome and have something for pretty much anyone. <a href="https://magic.wizards.com/en/news/announcements/final-fantasy-commander-decklists" target="_blank" rel="noopener">You can find those decklists here.</a>
But let's hear what you think. Do you like these precons? Do you think the decks are interesting? And perhaps more importantly, do they capture the spirit of their respective games, and Final Fantasy on the whole? Sound off below! And stay tuned for our full Precon Guides for these decks, coming soon.

Final Fantasy Commander Decklists Revealed

<h6 style="text-align: right;">Image credit: PAX East</h6>
On Saturday, May 10th, the Final Fantasy preview season officially kicks off! Notably, a preview panel at PAX East in Boston, Massachusetts, showcases the first round of previews for the new Universes Beyond set. As such, we will recap it as the cards begin to roll in. You can find this stream on <a href="http://twitch.tv/magic">Magic's Twitch channel</a> between noon and 2 pm Eastern time. But what do we expect to see when the panel gets underway? Read on!
<h2>What Final Fantasy Previews Will We See?</h2>
At this time, PAX East is already well underway. In fact, one of our writers, <a href="https://edhrec.com/articles/author/cooper-gottfried">Cooper Gottfried</a>, is already on the scene.
Images from the convention have already begun to circulate around social media. We have seen oversized teasers of cards featuring Final Fantasy characters, both beloved and notorious alike. We have even seen images of a Chocobo wearing costuming that resembles <a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Chandra Nalaar" href="#" target="_blank">Chandra Nalaar</a>'s clothing. Truly, the collaboration is now in full swing.

<h2>More Previews Coming Soon</h2>
As this is only the start of the Final Fantasy preview season, expect to see more and more reveals pop up in various places after PAX East as well. We are so excited that we can hardly contain ourselves, but contain ourselves we must. All things come to those who wait, dear readers. All in good time.
But in the coming hours leading up to the Final Fantasy panel, we'd love to hear from you. What are you most anticipating from the panel? What previews are you most excited about? And how about that darling red Chocobo? Feel free to let us know how you're feeling about all of tomorrow's upcoming excitement in the comments below!

Graha Tia, Scion Reborn is the alternate commander of the Scions &amp; Spellcraft deck, showcasing the characters of Final Fantasy XIV.
<h2>Yuna, Grand Summoner</h2>
One of the main characters of FFX and the love interest of <a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Tidus, Yuna&#039;s Guardian" href="#" target="_blank">Tidus</a>, Yuna is an extremely vital figure in the FFX canon. A summoner, Yuna can conjure beings known as "aeons" to aid in combat. She is also a proficient White Mage, using healing magic to act as a support role in the game and its sequel.

In the context of Commander, Yuna acts as a pseudo version of <a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="The Ozolith" href="#" target="_blank">The Ozolith</a>, but rather than the counters of the dead creature retaining their classification, Yuna effectively converts them into +1/+1 counters for another creature. What's more, Yuna is a mana-producing creature that puts +1/+1 counters on the creature that mana is spent on. In that way, she seems to do a bang-up job in somewhat imitating <a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="The Great Henge" href="#" target="_blank">The Great Henge</a>.
Meanwhile, her showcase borderless version can be seen below!

<h2>G'raha Tia, Scion Reborn</h2>
G'raha Tia, also known as the "Crystal Exarch," is a major character in Final Fantasy XIV. He is a member of the protagonist's party and a member of the Miqo'te race in the game's setting. He is playful and eccentric, and, in the context of the MMO setting of FFXIV, can play the role of a Paladin, White Mage, or Black Mage. Versatile!
<div id="attachment_152075" style="width: 410px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://edhrecstatic.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/graha-tia.png"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-152075" class="wp-image-152075" src="https://edhrecstatic.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/graha-tia.png" alt="G'raha Tia, Scion Reborn, a new card from within the &quot;Scions &amp; Spellcraft&quot; precon for Final Fantasy.

In the context of Magic: The Gathering, G'raha Tia is a token generator with lifelink. His second ability appears to synergize somewhat with the face commander of the "Scions &amp; Spellcraft" precon, <a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Y&#039;shtola, Night&#039;s Blessed" href="#" target="_blank">Y&#039;shtola, Night&#039;s Blessed</a>, but only just. However, the existence of a 1/1 colorless Hero token seems interesting. Usually, nonartifact creature tokens have a color associated with them. Is this indicative of something greater?
<h2>Final Days Before the Final Fantasy Panel</h2>
These two precon commander alternatives are pretty interesting. We look forward to seeing what else comes of the set and decks! If you're also interested, the panel at PAX East will be livestreamed on Twitch on Saturday, May 10th, from noon to 2 pm Eastern!
Meanwhile, how do you feel about these reveals? Are you excited to test out any Final Fantasy commanders? Sound off below!
