The Full Top 10 Ranked by Value
Foil treatments, regional availability, and character recognition all drive what collectors will pay. Here's how the top cards stack up right now.
The Cards Worth Knowing
Travelling Chocobo (Borderless - Japan Exclusive)
The clear winner. Travelling Chocobo (Borderless - Japan Exclusive) sits at roughly $4,836 right now, making it the priciest card from any Magic: The Gathering set that dropped in 2025. The price moves around, but nothing else in the Final Fantasy set is even close.
The Neon Ink variants of this same card are expensive in their own right. Green is at $1,962, Blue at $1,933, Yellow at $1,846, and Pink at $1,768. Completing a full Neon Ink set means dropping serious money.
Sephiroth, Fabled SOLDIER (Borderless - Surge Foil)
At roughly $483, Sephiroth, Fabled SOLDIER (Borderless - Surge Foil) is the most expensive non-Chocobo card in the set. The draw is straightforward: this is one of gaming's most recognizable villains, and the card flips to show the One-Winged Angel form on the back. That double-sided mechanic sets it apart from other premium treatments.
Cloud, Midgar Mercenary (Borderless - Surge Foil)
The Final Fantasy VII protagonist sits at around $265 in his Surge Foil form, trailing Sephiroth among FF7 characters. A Chocobo Track Foil version of this card also exists, valued near $119, giving collectors two separate Cloud variants to track down.
Lightning, Army of One (Borderless - Surge Foil)
Lightning, Army of One was already a strong aggro card when the set launched. The Surge Foil treatment, listed at $318.71, is the premium version of a card that saw play from day one. Market value hovers around $131, though sellers often ask for more.
The Chocobo Track Foil Additions
The Chocobo Track Foil treatments added new targets after launch. Vivi Ornitier (Borderless - Chocobo Track Foil) from Final Fantasy IX has a market value near $119, though some listings push closer to $220. Yuna, Hope of Spira (Borderless - Chocobo Track Foil) sits around $100, and Tifa Lockhart (Borderless - Chocobo Track Foil) is near $91.
Why the Final Fantasy Set Keeps Its Value
Crossover appeal drives this set. The Magic: The GatheringUniverses Beyond line has been expanding, but the Final Fantasy set hit one of the most dedicated fanbases in gaming. Collectors who have never shuffled a Magic deck are still hunting these cards for the artwork and characters alone.
The post-launch Chocobo Track Foil variants kept the set relevant by giving collectors fresh targets and maintaining secondary market activity well past the initial release.
