Magic: The Gathering —FINAL FANTASY Prepatch and Release

Major set releases on MTG Arena come in two parts, with a prepatch releasing a week before the full set release. What does this mean? You'll be able to view and interact with all the upcoming Magic: The Gathering—FINAL FANTASY cards in the MTG Arena client. Due to a late breaking bug, players will be unable to build decks in MTG Arena using cards from Magic: The Gathering—FINAL FANTASY until the set fully launches on June 10.
