Final Fantasy Commander Wave Two Restocks, Retailers See Rapid Sell Outs

Wizards launched the holiday wave two for the Magic The Gathering FINAL FANTASY line on December 5, 2025, and initial retail availability fluctuated sharply through the day. Several products that had been hard to find returned to stock at major retailers, but those restocks sold through fast, leaving buyers monitoring retailer pages for a narrow opportunity to buy at retail rather than on the secondary market.

Key items in the wave included the Chocobo Bundle, four Scene Boxes, and the Final Fantasy VII Commander Deck Game Edition. The Chocobo Bundle shipped with 10 Play Boosters, 32 landmark basic lands, a run of foil chocobo track lands, an alt art promo card, and a novelty click wheel. Each Scene Box contained six borderless traditional foil scene cards, three Play Boosters, and a small easel for display. The Final Fantasy VII Commander Deck Game Edition included an exclusive Cloud promo and a digital code for Final Fantasy VII, aimed at collectors and players who want a themed Commander experience.

Retail pricing was listed alongside MSRP on launch, and individual retailer listings briefly matched or undercut common resale listings before rapid sell through pushed remaining copies onto secondary markets. Amazon, Walmart and Best Buy all showed short restocks during the day, with inventory disappearing within minutes on several listings. That pattern gave a practical edge to shoppers who watched inventory in real time, as a retail purchase often remained significantly less expensive than buying from resellers after items sold out.

For players building multi deck collections or seeking the premium scene cards for display, the best course is to monitor known retailer pages closely and consider browser alerts or card forum threads that track restocks. Local game stores may also receive allocations at different times, so calling ahead remains useful. The release underscores how crossover product demand can strain usual stock channels, and how nimble buying can save money and secure the exact contents collectors and Commander players want.
