Magic: The Gathering’s Stylish Final Fantasy Precons Bundle is 34% Off at Amazon Today

Magic’s Final Fantasy Commander Decks Just Dropped To Another All-Time Low Price at Amazon

The complete Final Fantasy Precons bundle is down to just $184.99 on Amazon, a massive $95 off list price and the best deal we’ve seen yet.

Just last week, it was $200, already a good discount, but this drop takes it to the equivalent of $46.25 per deck.

It's a remarkably good offering, especially with the likes of Final Fantasy 7’s Limit Break deck still stuck at $72.50.

Amazon labels it 34% off MSRP, but given how pricey these decks have been, that’s underselling it. This is a rare bargain, and it probably won’t stick around long.

If it disappears before you can lock it in, TCGPlayer currently has the four-pack going for around $180 to $200 as well.

As a reminder, here’s our ranking of the four decks, one of which features in our handy best MTG decks ranking (focusing on precon decks you can still buy and play right now).

4 - Revival Trance (Final Fantasy 6)

Revival Trance isn’t just themed around Final Fantasy 6, but specifically the back half of the story, with Celes leading the charge to rebuild the party after the world falls apart.

It’s a fitting premise for a “revival” deck, except for one small problem — there aren’t many cards here that actually bring fallen allies back from the graveyard, yours or anyone else’s. Add in the lack of any major reprints, and it feels like a missed opportunity.

3 - Scions and Spellcraft (Final Fantasy 14)

Final Fantasy 14’s Commander deck is somewhat of a rare beast insofar as it’s a spellslinger-style deck in Esper colors (White, Black, Blue).

As a result, its focus is on non-creature spells and dishing out damage with Y’Shtola, one of the two Commanders. It’s just a little slow to get going, needing you to pull out as much mana as possible in early turns to be able to start slinging those big spells.

Propaganda and Snuff Out are decent reprints, but there’s little else of big financial value.

But, if you don’t mind mixing up your Final Fantasy titles, Noctis, Prince of Lucis could be a really neat addition to the Scions and Spellcraft Commander precon.

He can pay life to get artifact spells from the graveyard, while Y’Shtola, Night’s Blessed can help you get some of that life back.

2 - Limit Break (Final Fantasy 7)

Final Fantasy 7’s deck is absolutely fantastic, and actually dovetails nicely with Fallout’s Scrappy Survivors precon from last year (as long as you're happy with yet another bold RPG crossover).

It’s all about getting your creatures to 7 power to trigger additional effects from Cloud or Tifa, while minimizing equip costs to allow you to switch gear and keep opponents guessing.

Reprint value is decent, too. Not only do you get Darksteel Plate, Sword of the Animist, and Fire-Lit Thicket, but Clever Concealment has some amazing new art of Cloud’s disguise.

Thanks to its Final Fantasy synergies, Stoneforge Mystic has been shooting up in both popularity and price.

This two-mana staple slots perfectly into the equipment-heavy Limit Break deck, tutoring out gear with ease, and the market has noticed, it’s jumped from under $20 to around $50 in recent listings.

That’s some serious stonks, and it could end up being a smart long-term pickup.

1 - Counter Blitz (Final Fantasy 10)

Arguably the most balanced deck out of the box, Tidus and Yuna helm this Final Fantasy 10 offering.

It’s all about counters, meaning you can buff your creatures, deal damage, and proliferate. It really could get out of hand quickly, and you can even get creative with the Summons in the deck, too.

Reprint-wise, you can get Walking Ballista, Damning Verdict, and Bane of Progress, all with new artwork.

Ever since Final Fantasy’s Universes Beyond set launched, there’s been a spike in pricing for any cards that involve the use of counters, thanks to the focus of the FFX deck helmed by Tidus.

One of the recent beneficiaries is Filigree Vector, from the March of the Machine set. It’s a four-cost White Artifact Creature that essentially arrives with +1/+1 counters and can proliferate, making it an ideal fit for the Blitzball star’s deck.

It’s gone from being a couple of dollars not long ago to climbing to around $15.

There's also Magistrate’s Scepter, a 3-cost artifact that can be powered up with charge counters then used to take an entire extra turn.

Given how quickly Tidus can get those counters, this Core Set 2019 card is now up to $5 from just a few cents a few weeks ago, and well worth adding to the best Final Fantasy MTG precon.

There's plenty of other great additions to this deck if you want to get creative, and one we also spoke about recently in our Crashers and Climbers column was Wave Goodbye, which sends a board’s worth of cards back to an owner’s hand if their cards don’t have a counter on them.

We also recently rounded up some great Magic: The Gathering precon deals last week, and the best part is that most are still available.

Looking forward to Fallout Season 2 on Amazon? Me too! Fallout’s MTG Commander Decks were all pretty great, but now you can nab one with a third off the MSRP.

Science! (don’t forget that exclamation mark) is an energy-based deck that uses Artifacts to generate additional resources that Dr. Madison Li can turn into card draw or reanimation. It’s perhaps not the easiest to use for newbies, but still well worth a look.

And before you there's also some decent Booster Box deals going down at Amazon right now as well, here's what's on offer.
