Magic’s latest Secret Lair features sixteen new Final Fantasy cards
They were split into three packs with foil and Japanese-language variants
Everything is reselling for around double its MSRP
Two brands well-known for their love of making money teamed up earlier this week, and the results are profit all around. MTG’s Final Fantasy Secret Lair was a great opportunity for any reseller. With multiple variants of each set, including separate Japanese and English prints, there were plenty of cards to pick from. The most popular are already reselling, with total profits quickly ballooning into several hundred dollar figures.
So, it’s official. Wizards of the Coast has linked with Square Enix for an official Final Fantasy X MTG collaboration. Well, kind of.
This collection is part of Magic’s “Secret Lair” series. These are official but typically tournament-ineligible cards aimed towards collecting rather than playing. As a result, Secret Lair cards have a lot more freedom when it comes to card designs.
We’ve seen past Magic Secret Lair collaborations with brands like Brain Dead, The Walking Dead, and even Hatsune Miku.
For this drop, collectors were able to get their hands on 64 different cards, spanning two languages and multiple games in the Final Fantasy series.
The drop was divided into three drops with five cards each. Each pack was produced as either a foil or non-foil variant along with Japanese and English version. Bundles containing each available pack were also sold, as well as a massive complete collection with every single MTG X FF card. Let’s take a closer look.
The first pack revealed was “Game Over“, featuring the cards “Spira’s Punishment” (Day of Judgment), “Absorb into Time” (Temporal Extortion), “Merciless Poisoning” (Toxic Deluge), “Unseat the Usurper” (Praetor’s Grasp) and “Meteorfall” (Star of Extinction).
“Game Over” was available for $30 as non-foil and $40 for rainbow foil. Japanese and English versions were available separately.
Next was “Grimoire“, including “Yuna’s Holy Magic” (Prismatic Ending), “Hope’s Aero Magic” (Cyclonic Rift), “Noctis’s Death Magic” (Damn), “Vivi’s Thunder Magic” (Lightning Bolt), and “Aerith’s Curaga Magic” (Heroic Intervention).
“Grimoire” packs were sold for $30 as non-foil and $40 for rainbow foil. Japanese and English versions were available separately.
Finally, “Weapons” was revealed with the cards “Yuna’s Sending Staff” (Staff of the Storyteller), “Clive’s Invictus Blade” (Blade of Selves), “Cloud’s Buster Sword” (Umezawa’s Jitte), “Gaia’s Dark Hammer” (Colossus Hammer), and “Tidus’s Brotherhood Sword” (Sword of Truth and Justice).
“Weapons” were priced at $30 as non-foil and $40 for rainbow foil. Japanese and English versions were available separately.
And for those that really like blowing a wad, Wizards of the Coast offered complete language bundles with every English or Japanese language card, including both foil and non-foil variants.
Additionally, if you bought one of these bundles you’d receive a rainbow foil “Gilded Lotus” card in the respective language.
MTG Final Fantasy Secret Lair Bundles were priced at $200 for both languages. If you really didn’t want to miss out on anything, WotC also sold Summer Superdrop bundles for $400 with every single card in both languages.
That’s a lot of cards. Sorry if you got overwhelmed. In any case, Wizards of the Coast set up their money printers pretty effectively with this drop, and the entire collection sold out within hours of its release on June 9.
Unsurprisingly, it didn’t take long for those very same cards to reappear on eBay. Popular individual cards are reselling for around $10 at a time, while foil packs are usually flipping for about $50 to $60.
But the real money was in the larger bundles. Magic: The Gathering X Final Fantasy Secret Lair English bundles are currently reselling for close to $400, while the bundle-exclusive Gilded Lotus cards are going for more than $50.
Depending on which packs and bundles you bought, Magic’s Final Fantasy Secret Lair could net you up to $200 to $300 in profit. We’d take that deal.
