The realms of magic and fantasy are about to collide in a way we've never seen before. Wizards of the Coast has officially announced what might be one of the most ambitious and beloved crossovers in Magic: The Gathering history: the Final Fantasy Universes Beyond set. Two titanic forces in fantasy storytelling are joining hands to bring players an unforgettable experience filled with classic characters, iconic spells, and unforgettable creatures from across the series.
From Cloud Strife to Terra Branford, from Limit Breaks to Summons like Shiva and Bahamut, this set is shaping up to be a nostalgic journey through decades of beloved RPG history. But amidst all the excitement, there's one card in particular that’s stealing the spotlight: the Golden Travelling Chocobo.
The Golden Travelling Chocobo: 77 Prints. Worldwide.
Yes, you read that right. The Golden Travelling Chocobo is set to be the rarest card in the whole set. Only 77 copies of this card will exist globally—each hand-serial numbered, gold-foiled, and uniquely stamped with a feather motif exclusive to this printing.
This card isn’t just a collector’s dream—it’s a celebration of the Chocobo legacy itself. From their humble origins in Final Fantasy II to becoming a staple in nearly every installment, the Chocobo is more than a mount or a minigame—it's a symbol of adventure, discovery, and whimsical joy. The Golden Travelling Chocobo captures that spirit beautifully, with exclusive artwork by legendary concept artist Yoshitaka Amano, depicting the majestic bird soaring across dimensions with magical aether swirling in its wake.
What Makes This Card Special?
- Ultra-Limited Print Run: Only 77 copies exist, globally. No reprints.
- Exclusive Art: Never-before-seen artwork from Final Fantasy royalty.
- Serialized Collectibility: Each card is hand-serialized (e.g. 01/77), ensuring maximum rarity.
- Gold Embossed Foil: Printed with a new radiant gold foil treatment exclusive to this crossover.
- Lore Integration: The Chocobo’s card text even includes references to in-game mechanics like Choco Dash and Moogle Bond (yes, Moogles are coming too!)
How Can You Get One
Wizards of the Coast has confirmed that the Golden Travelling Chocobo will only appear in the English Collector Booster Boxes, and even then, the odds are astronomical.
We expect this to become one of the most sought-after Magic cards ever created—not just because of its rarity, but because of what it represents: a magical blend of two cultural juggernauts.
Final Thoughts on Universes Beyond: Final Fantasy
This set is a dream come true for fans of both franchises. Whether you’re sleeving up Cloud in Commander or hunting down the Golden Travelling Chocobo for your collection, this is a release that transcends the game and taps into pure, nostalgic magic. We can’t wait to crack our packs, cast our spells, and maybe—just maybe—hear the distant kweh! of something golden in the distance.
