Look Sports Media – This year’s must-have Magic: The Gathering (MTG) crossover event plunges players into the iconic world of Final Fantasy. Beloved characters from across the legendary video game franchise are now immortalized on all-new cards for the popular tabletop game. This marks another exciting addition to MTG’s Universes Beyond series, following successful collaborations with Marvel, Assassin’s Creed, Doctor Who, Dungeons & Dragons, and more. The Final Fantasy set, announced at MTG’s 30th Anniversary Panel at GenCon, Indianapolis, has generated immense hype among players and Wizards of the Coast, with a month-long promotional blitz leading up to its release. Crucially, these cards will be legal across all MTG formats, including the ever-popular Standard and Commander.
Beyond the main set, MTG is also releasing the "Through the Ages" cards, featuring Final Fantasy-themed art for existing MTG cards. Each Final Fantasy game gets four cards, providing a treasure trove of collectibles for fans. Players can hunt for the adorable Travelling Chocobo in four colors (pink, green, yellow, and blue), with a special black Japanese-language version and an ultra-rare serialized golden Chocobo available in collector boosters.
The Final Fantasy set introduces three new mechanics: Tiered, allowing for strategic spell casting with bonus effects and penalties based on mana cost; Saga Creatures, permanent Saga cards dealing damage and providing passive bonuses; and Job Select, a mechanic ensuring equipment has a target. Familiar MTG mechanics also return, adding depth and familiarity for seasoned players.
