Hey all,
I got into MTG through the FF collab. As I've been gathering every card, these 3 promos interest me because I don't think people know how rare some of them are. I believe there is substantial mispricing in the market. (Disclaimer: I own one of each and will likely never sell)
In this post, I will share what I believe the population numbers for the Aerith, Tifa, and Cloud Promos. All 3 have both a foil and non foil version. Additionally, I am only discussing the English version of Cloud. (EDIT: I have added the JP Cloud)
| Card | Event | Non-Foil Pop | NF Price | Foil Pop | Foil Price | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Aerith | Regional Championships Fall 2025 (7ish events, 2 in NA) | 4000-5000 | $250 | <200 | $3.5k | All participants got non foil. Top 32 in NA at both RC got foil Aerith, other regions varied per Wizards with no stated cutoff (likely top 8-16). |
| Cloud (ENG) | Pro Tour (1 event) | 330 | $2.7k | 32 | $17k | 330 for the participants and top 32 each got foil |
| Cloud (JP) | Magic Spotlight Chiba event in Japan | 900 | $600 | 128 | $6k | 900 Chiba spotlight participants and top 128 got a foil version of JP Cloud. |
| Tifa | PTQ's at MagicCon 2025 (2 events) | 1072 | $1.3k | 256 | $4.3k | u/Taerer in the comments shared that top 32 of the PTQ also got extra non foils, bringing total to 1072. Top 128 for each event got a foil Tifa. |
My Takeaways: Assuming the table above is true,
- Cloud NF and F look undervalued. English Cloud F is rarer than a gold chocobo which in my head is around $50k (Hard to say not lots publicly available).
- Aerith F and Tifa F prices should probably flip long term, Aerith should increase and Tifa decrease.
I think all these cards are winners from the finance perspective long term, but would appreciate more insight/comments. It's hard to find comparable promos from other sets quite like this.
Please feel free to pick apart my numbers or assertions, I want to learn. Thank you!
EDIT 1: Going to update the table with some commenters numbers as well as add the Japanese Cloud Variant
