New & Notable for Magic: The Gathering®—FINAL FANTASY

Main Set Cards Will Be Standard-Legal

Starting in 2025, new Universes Beyond sets will be legal in all Constructed formats—including Standard. While you can check the full announcement over on DailyMTG, there are two key pieces of information to keep in mind:

This change was anticipated, and all products were developed with these targets in mind.

Although the main content of these booster releases will be legal in all formats, they will contain products (like Commander decks) and cards (like Special Guests) that are not part of the main sets and will be Eternal legal (i.e., legal only in Commander, Legacy, and Vintage for new Commander and/or Jumpstart content) or wherever the cards are otherwise legal (for reprint content). This matches the structure of recent sets like Duskmourn: House of Horror and Bloomburrow.

Bringing Universes Beyond to all formats builds a straightforward path for newer players who are joining the Gathering through the FINAL FANTASY universe. The decks they build at Prerelease can be used at events all season long—and beyond!
