Note about COLLECTOR Products

There is very high demand for Collector Booster Boxes, Collector Commander Decks, and the Gift Bundles which contain Collector Booster Packs. It is possible I may not get everything I order for these products. Therefore, I will start taking preorders after I get confirmation of my allocation quantities. My prices will be below market price.

You may click HERE to fill out an OPTIONAL Google Form to let me know which COLLECTOR products you will be interested in purchasing from Battlegrounds Gaming. This is not a wait list for products. I can email/text message you when preorders are active.

Magic Final Fantasy pre-orders are live!

Products are expected to be available for pickup starting June 6, 2025!

  • “PLAY” Booster boxes – $169
  • Commander Deck Set, non-foil (4 decks) – $369.00
  • Bundles – $76.99
  • 2-Player Starter Kit – $18.99

Note: Individual commander decks will be available for order closer to release date.

Prices are subject to change.

Magic Final Fantasy is going to be a hot set this summer!
Earn a free entry to 1 of our six prereleases for the set June 6-10, 2025. (expected value $45-$50)

In March, play in 4 Friday Night Magic Aetherdrift booster drafts OR play in 4 Tuesday night Aetherdrift booster drafts!

In case something comes up and you can’t make one, I’ll allow 1 switch from FNM to Tuesday or vice versa.

We will track attendance with Wizards of the Coast’s tournament program called Eventlink. You register with the Magic Companion app by entering event codes provided prior to the drafts.

Feel free to contact us on discord with any questions!
PLEASE NOTE:
Magic Final Fantasy preorders will open later this week.
Collector Boxes, and Collector versions of Commander Decks, will be available for preorder closer to release date – after I get confirmed allocations from suppliers. I do not want to oversell and then cancel orders IF I get less than I expect.
