Magic: The Gathering x Final Fantasy finally launches this week, and while there are boosters, Commander decks, and even a new Starter Kit to pick up (if you can find it in stock), collectors will perhaps be most interested in the new Secret Lair drops.
It’s been a busy year for Wizards of the Coast’s limited-time mini-sets, and while the company sold out of all three Final Fantasy drops in record time (leaving many disappointed), you can still get them via third-party sellers… if you’re willing to pay the inflated costs, that is.
Every Final Fantasy Secret Lair Drop and Where to Buy Them
Before we start, it’s worth pointing out that you won’t find Secret Lair drops at the same price as you’d find them directly from Wizards of the Coast (standard $30 nonfoil, $40 rainbow foil), with most being listed anywhere between $80-$150 or above.
This is a huge markup, so if you’re looking to buy, be sure you’re 100% informed of what you’re paying for. You can buy them from eBay, but we’ve always found TCGPlayer, while still eBay-owned, to be the most secure and trustworthy way to nab Secret Lair drops post-release.
There are a trio of Final Fantasy Secret Lair sets, Weapons, Grimoire, and Game Over, each offering unique art and names for Magic: The Gathering cards. Everything is available in standard and foil, alongside the Japanese variants as well.
Here’s how you can grab each, what’s included, and all the key info you need to help you decide whether you still want these to add to your collection via third party seller listings selling at a premium.
Weapons
Focused on, well, weaponry from the long-running RPG franchise, the Weapons drop offers the following:
- Yuna’s Sending Staff (Staff of the Storyteller) – Final Fantasy 10
- Clive’s Invictus Blade (Blade of Selves) – Final Fantasy 16
- Cloud’s Buster Sword (Umezawa’s Jitte) – Final Fantasy 7
- Gaia’s Dark Hammer (Colossus Hammer) – Final Fantasy 14
- Tidus’s Brotherhood Sword (Sword of Truth and Justice) – Final Fantasy 10
Grimoire
Grimoire is all about spells and the characters casting them. Here are the five cards included:
- Yuna’s Holy Magic (Prismatic Ending) – Final Fantasy 10
- Hope’s Aero Magic (Cyclonic Rift) – Final Fantasy 13
- Noctis’s Death Magic (Damn) – Final Fantasy 15
- Vivi’s Thunder Magic (Lightning Bolt) – Final Fantasy 9
