Magic: The Gathering 2025 sets revealed, including gorgeous Final Fantasy set

It was only a matter of time before the two fantasy worlds collided, and on June 13, 2025, Magic: The Gathering will finally join forces with the world of Final Fantasy to bring a stunning new set of cards to the table.

As part of MagicCon: Las Vegas, Wizards of the Coast have revealed a bunch of new sets that will be released at some point in 2025, and while we’ll get into the other sets a little further down, the focus here is definitely on the Final Fantasy cards and the beautiful examples of artwork that we’ve already seen. 

The set will feature not only well known faces from across the 16 game franchise, but also locations, spells, and mounts. It will be the largest single collection of artwork from the franchise as well, featuring artwork by both Wizards of the Coast artists and renowned Final Fantasy illustrators. 

My Final Fantasy XIV fangirl heart is overjoyed at the inclusion of an Emet-Selch card, as well as other familiar faces like Kefka from FFVI and Sephiroth from FFVII. There’s also a Post Moogle that’s beyond adorable, and an illustration of Tidus and Yuna wrapped in an embrace. 

I’ve got to be honest, I’ve managed to avoid being pulled into the world of Magic: The Gathering thus far, but this might be the set that breaks me. In fact, there’s no might about it, I’ll be pre-ordering this as soon as I possibly can. If you want to do the same, you can sign up for updates via the Wizards of the Coast website. 

All Magic: The Gathering sets revealed at MagicCon: Las Vegas

If you’re not into Final Fantasy, here are the other sets that were also revealed during MagicCon: Las Vegas:

Innistrad: Remastered (January 24)

This reprint of the Innistrad set first released in 2011 will be the first to release in 2025. If you’re a fan of the gothic horror world filled with vampires and werewolves, then you’ll know what to expect from Innistrad: Remastered. However, there will be a new type of card included, called Headliners, which are described as “the most exciting card to collect in a release”. 

Aetherdrift (February 14)

The first Standard-legal set of 2025, Aetherdrift will follow a “death race” theme in which residents from three different planes in the MTG universe will come to together to compete for the Aether Spark. Apparently it’s a trophy that provides an incredible amount of power to the winner. 

Tarkir: Dragonstorm (April 11)

Tarkir: Dragonstorm will be set on the plane of Tarkir, and will see five clans battle it out against a surge of lethal dragons. This set will include some familiar faces, including Sarkhan and the spirit dragon Ugin. 

Edge Of Eternities (August 1)

When Edge of Eternities is released in August, MTG will be jetting off into space for this first-time space opera. Explore beyond the edges of the known multiverse in an area known as the Solthera system, and encounter a familiar yet long-absent villain, Tezzeret. 

Marvel’s Spider-Man (TBA 2025)

Although we have no specific release date for this Spider-Man themed expansion, it will work nicely alongside the soon-to-be-released Marvel themed Secret Lair Superdrop, which is coming in November. 

Secret Lair x SpongeBob SquarePants

I think you could be forgiven if you didn’t see this one coming, but yes you read that correctly. SpongeBob, and likely the rest of Bikini Bottom, is being brought into the Magic: The Gathering universe. There’s no specific release date for this one, and I’m interested to see how it goes, so watch this space.
