GeraldAs the worlds of Magic: The Gathering and Final Fantasy collide, the response could not have been more assuring for both Wizards of the Coast and Square Enix. With booster boxes of the latest Magic: The Gathering expansion flying off the shelves at lightning speed, fans and new entrants to the trading card game will find it hard to get hold of their desired product.
However, pockets of supply do exist in the market. As we head into the full release of the hotly contested set, Singapore local game store Hideout, is organising an event where you could get your hands on more Magic: The Gathering Final Fantasy product.
Festivities kick off this weekend (14 – 15 June 2025) at Suntec City, Singapore. Here are the top picks and deals to check out.
Commander Lucky Bag
We first spotted this bundle back in Singapore Comic Con 2024 where Hideout’s booth offered “fukubukuro” (Japanese-style mystery bags) filled with value. Fast forward to 2025, the upcoming Commander Lucky Bag has everything to kickstart your Magic: The Gathering journey for S$138.
Keep in mind that not all the bags will have Final Fantasy product, but it’s still a solid deal all around.
If you’d prefer a product with more certainty, the following option is a good alternative –
The starter kit comes with two cards featuring Cloud and Sephiroth that can only be found within the set, plus you get everything else from deckboxes, sleeves, and two more booster packs for a bundle price of S$60 to protect the collection.
Sealed Events
One of the best ways to learn Magic: The Gathering is in a low-stakes, level-playing-field event where everyone uses the same pool of cards. In a sealed format, players build a 40-card deck from six booster packs and face off against other players. It’s a great way to test your luck and skills on equal footing.
Pre-registration is needed for this weekend’s event, so grab your tickets before they are sold out.
Chocobo Racing Event Series
Play more events, win more swag! From this weekend onwards at the Play Event, every win and attendance for sealed and draft formats will earn you points to redeem a Chocobo poster and pin.
Compared to other sets, Wizards of the Coast is certainly pushing hard to get everyone in stores and laying out swag for the dedicated and skilled.
If you’re there just for the vibes, keep an eye out for cosplayers, too, as they’ll be adding their unique flair to the event.
