Magic: The Gathering has had a monumental year, introducing exciting crossovers like Marvel, with Star Trek and a return to Middle-earth still on the horizon. Even with these upcoming releases, the recent Final Fantasy crossover has left a lasting impression, and now there’s even more reason to celebrate.
Great news for collectors and players alike! While some booster boxes for the Final Fantasy set are still hard to come by, the Commander Decks are currently seeing significant price reductions. These decks have been progressively dropping in price over the past few weeks, and now, the Scions and Spellcraft deck, featuring characters from Final Fantasy XIV, is an astounding 43% off, bringing its price down to just $39.99.
This particular deck, ‘Scions and Spellcraft Commander Deck,’ originally priced at $69.99, is now available for just $39.99 on Amazon, a massive saving of 43%.

Yes, we know, we previously ranked “Scions and Spellcraft” third among the four Final Fantasy Commander decks. However, its current discount makes it an even more attractive option. This unique Esper deck (combining White, Black, and Blue) excels at chaining spells to unleash devastating effects across the battlefield. With early mana ramp, players can quickly overwhelm opponents, whether by powering up creature tokens or converting damage into valuable card draws, ensuring you always have an answer to any threat.
While it might not boast the most high-value reprints, dedicated Final Fantasy XIV fans diving into Magic: The Gathering will find this deck incredibly satisfying and won’t be disappointed.
Another excellent option, the ‘Counter Blitz Commander Deck,’ is also on sale. Originally $69.99, it’s now discounted to $49.99 on Amazon.
Beyond Scions and Spellcraft, the highly-rated “Counter Blitz” deck, based on Final Fantasy X (which we placed at the top of our rankings), is also available at a reduced price of $49.99, nearly 30% off its original cost. While it presents a steeper learning curve for new players, mastering Tidus’s ability to manipulate various counters allows you to extend the lifespan of your powerful Summons far beyond their initial intentions.
If you patiently waited through the initial sell-out and inflated prices, your patience has truly paid off!
