Best Buy Drops the Price of Final Fantasy MTG Commander Decks for a Limited Time

Magic The Gathering’s Final Fantasy set in June set new records for the franchise, and given the popularity of Commander, we’d imagine plenty of the four decks included in the set were shifted.

The trouble is, there’s always been a discrepancy in price, with the Final Fantasy 6 deck ‘Revival Trance’ going for much less, Final Fantasy 7’s ‘Limit Break’ going for much more, and the other two falling somewhere in between.

Best Buy’s answer? Discounting them all to the same price.

Best Buy Has Every Final Fantasy Magic Deck Under MSRP

On the positive side, this means you can get Limit Break, a deck that regularly sells for much more than its MSRP, for $48.99.

It’s a very fun deck that’s themed around equipment and dealing combat damage, and will no doubt be an easy pickup for anyone who waited for a discount.

On the downside, that means Revival Trance is also $48.99. It’s under MSRP, sure, but this deck’s messy game plan and lack of big reprints mean you can snap it up for around $35 elsewhere if you keep an eye out.

Rounding out the quartet, I’ve been having more fun with Scions and Spellcraft recently, the Final Fantasy 14 deck helmed by Y’Shtola. It’s all about pinging opponents around the table for damage, which isn’t something you often get in a blue/white/black deck. It’s $48.99 now.

Finally, arguably the best deck from the set, Counter Blitz is helmed by Final Fantasy X’s Tidus and Yuna, and lets you manipulate counters to deal big damage or keep Summons around longer. And, guess what? It’s $48.99 now, too.

Each deck also comes with a ‘Collector Booster Sample Pack’ which includes two cards in foil or borderless treatment, too.
