Today's reveal also highlights some unique features of the set, including Summons, which are part of Magic's first-ever Saga creatures that players can summon for aid in battle (check out Summon: Shiva in the gallery). Additionally, the set brings back double-faced cards, as demonstrated by Cecil's two sides: Dark Knight and Redeemed Paladin.

The Final Fantasy set will boast over 100 legendary creature cards, including 55 legendary borderless cards, some illustrated by fan-favorite artists from the Final Fantasy series. This set is not only fully draftable and Standard-legal but will also launch with four preconstructed Commander decks, each themed around a different Final Fantasy game: 6, 7, 10, and 14. Each deck contains 100 cards, blending new Final Fantasy cards with existing cards featuring new Final Fantasy art. Mark your calendars for the launch on June 13.
