World Championship Decks 2024

Did we forget to mention these?

It sure looks like it.

World Championship Decks 2025 are actually almost here. You can say they are right around the Korner. (That never gets old, at least to me.)

We have them up for Pre-Order, and you can find that link here.

Other than that, we’ll let Square-Enix explain. With a simple Copy and Paste.

What is the World Champion Deck?

The ”World Champion Decks 2024” will be sold as a new preconstructed deck that is a full reproduction of the two decks used by the player who won the “World Championship”. Since the two decks are the exact same two decks that won the Championship, you will have two well-constructed decks to play with immediately after purchase.

Furthermore, by using decks constructed by a top player, you will be able to not only enjoy FFTCG as a game but experience the deep world of deck-building.

These cards have a dedicated serial number along with a 2024 World Championship logo but can be used in tournaments mixed with normal cards.

Contents:

1 Storage Box (outer box)
1 Deck List/Paper Playmat (front and back on 1 sheet)
Preconstructed Decks (116 total cards)
Fire and Water Monster Deck
Warrior of Light Deck

*Each deck contains a total of 58 cards consisting of 50 main deck cards and 8 LB deck cards.

*All cards come as a framed Normal version.

*The World Championship 2024 logo replaces the Element icon in the text frame on normal cards.

Deck Specs:

Fire and Water Monster Deck

Based around 13 Monster cards, Forwards with abilities that work well with Monsters, such as Witch of the Fens [23-104H], Gau [21-102L] and Relm [11-124H] are leveraged to play the game to one’s advantage. The deck also incorporates the latest high-performance cards such as Ifrit (XVI) [24-001L] and Clive [24-005L] that dominate the field.

Warrior of Light Deck

A deck comprised of many Job Warrior of Light cards that have multiple powerful synergies. This is a highly well-rounded deck that features cards that complement each other, such as Refia [19-102L] and Faris [18-012L], demonstrating their superior abilities by controlling many Job Warrior of Light cards, as well as Warrior of Light [19-128L], who plays a central role in both offense and defense.

Journey of Discovery

“Scheduled for release on November 14, 2025, the new FFTCG booster pack “Journey of Discovery” features many appealing cards, including brand-new illustrations and characters making their card debut. Additionally, all “Limit Break” cards included in this booster pack—a key element for multifaceted strategies—will be multi-element, providing a wide range of options for LB decks. “Journey of Discovery” will significantly expand the possibilities for both deck construction and strategic play.

This set will also come with 28 newly illustrated cards centered around characters from FINAL FANTASY VIII. Also included as an extremely rare Special card is Terra [27-014H], showcasing a brand-new illustration Fumio Minagawa, and featuring his signature foil-stamped on a card for the first time. This set is designed to appeal not only to players but also to collectors, and is sure to resonate with many existing players and FINAL FANTASY fans.

In addition, Legacy cards—powerful cards from the past selected for inclusion as premium full art cards—continue to be featured in this booster pack. The following three cards are included in this set: Regis [12-122L], Neo Exdeath [21-074L], and Ace [22-116L]. Special cards and Legacy cards are not only for collection purposes as they can both be used in official tournaments, just like normal cards.

* Please note that the Buy-a-Box Promo card will no longer be included with display box purchases, starting with the “Journey of Discovery” booster packs. Your understanding is greatly appreciated.”

We had Journey of Discovery announced last week!

We’re a little late to the party but let’s take a look at what we have in store.

We have a count of 121 cards, according to my calculations, which can be wrong, we will have 18 cards for each element. I’m guessing 3 or 4 Light/Dark cards and the rest will be LB cards. The Legacy Cards are back once again with our usual 3 cards which were mentioned above.

We’re getting plenty of new Final Fantasy VIII cards including a Rookie card for Ellone. Other cards that were shown are Zell, Graha Tia, Seven, Krile, Ultimecia, Tonberry, Jack and a Black Mage and a Miqote of some sort. Yeah, I haven’t played the online games, so I’m unsure if they are actual Characters or just Standard Units.

Let’s check out our Magitek Knight with the Golden Signature, Terra!

A 4 cost Hero. Terra is a Forward that once she enters the field, you reveal the top 3 cards of your deck. You can add 1 Fire card and either a Wind or a Lightning card to your hand. The rest will end up in the Break Zone.

Whenever you play a Wind or a Lightning card you can dull Terra and deal 8000 damage to one of your opponent’s Forwards.

This means that you will be placing Terra into a Fire/Wind deck or a Fire/Lightning deck. Both of which have not seen many FFVI decks with these elements. Which means that either, we’ll be getting plenty of Final Fantasy VI Wind and Lightning cards, or that Terra will perfect for any deck that plays these elements.
