Unveiling the ‘Holiday Release’: Leaks Confirm New Magic: The Gathering Final Fantasy ‘Scene’ Boxes and Chocobo Bundles

The monumental success of the Magic: The Gathering (MTG) and Final Fantasy (FF) crossover, part of the Universes Beyond line, has made waves across the entire trading card game (TCG) industry. Following the main set’s strong performance, recent leaks and subsequent official confirmations have revealed that Wizards of the Coast is far from done with the beloved JRPG franchise, unveiling a special “Holiday Release” scheduled for a December 5th launch.

The Scene Boxes: Iconic Moments Captured on Cardboard

The centerpiece of this holiday offering is a series of four Scene Boxes, a product format previously seen in the successful The Lord of the Rings holiday expansion. Each box is dedicated to an iconic moment from a specific Final Fantasy mainline title, allowing collectors to assemble a panoramic image from six borderless cards. The revealed scenes are a huge draw for long-time fans and collectors.

• Final Fantasy I Scene: Likely featuring the classic “Warriors of Light” battling the forces of darkness or an image from the Chaos Shrine.
• Final Fantasy VIII Scene: Centered on key moments from the game, one revealed card shows Edea, Possessed Sorceress, a strong hint toward the dramatic events at the Galbadia Garden or the battle for control of the world.
• Final Fantasy IX Scene: While the full reveal is pending from Square Enix, fan speculation points towards “The Siege of Alexandria” or a memorable moment with Vivi Ornitier and Garnet.
• Final Fantasy XV Scene: Confirmed to be “Camp Comrades,” celebrating the camaraderie of Noctis and his crew, a theme central to the game’s identity.

Impact on MTG Formats: Crucially, these Scene Boxes are confirmed to contain six mechanically unique cards. They will not be Standard-legal but are powerful new inclusions for the highly popular Commander (EDH) format, providing fresh new strategies and must-have staples for eternal play. Early spoilers suggest cards with significant synergy, like a White Mage legend that enables powerful infinite combos.

The Chocobo Bundle: A New Collector’s Chase

Accompanying the Scene Boxes is the “Chocobo Bundle,” a product highly anticipated by fans due to its adorable focus on the franchise’s iconic, feathered friends. This bundle represents a targeted offering to capitalize on the success of the rare, highly sought-after Serialized Golden Chocobo card from the initial release.

• Contents: The bundle includes ten Play Boosters, a Chocobo-themed life counter, and a specialized Chocobo Booster.
• Exclusive Promos: The Chocobo Booster contains a guaranteed Paradise Chocobo (a new variant of the MTG classic, Birds of Paradise), ten Full-Art Chocobo Basic Lands with the “Chocobo Track Foil” treatment, and two additional Borderless Chocobo cards.

Final Fantasy VII and the Nostalgia Factor

Further solidifying the holiday lineup is a special re-release of the Limit Break Commander Deck from the first wave. This new version is specifically targeted at the most fervent Final Fantasy VII fanbase, a high-value demographic in the gaming and collectible space:

• It features a new promotional printing of Cloud, Midgar Mercenary with alternate art inspired by the original North American box art.
• The most surprising inclusion is a download code for the original PC release of Final Fantasy VII, tying the TCG product directly to the foundational source material for a perfect nostalgia trip and adding significant collector value.

The holiday release, including the Scene Boxes, Chocobo Bundle, and the updated Commander deck, is set to launch on December 5, 2025. It represents a calculated and significant expansion of the partnership, signaling that the MTG x Final Fantasy crossover is being treated as a long-term, high-ROI franchise for Wizards of the Coast.
