I mean it'd be weirder if they got him for War of the Spark but not the literal Final Fantasy set lol

Never played FFXIV, but Y'shtola is very popular lady, isn't she.

Yeah, I'm not surprised about this announcement. Amano is a well-known artists amongst western comic book fans, video game fans that goes beyond anime/manga and Final Fantasy fans.

The only big miss so far is Terra. The second half of her effect was clearly intended for a Celes card instead, and black does not fit Terra's color identity at all (Terra would probably be Naya or Temur if we had to stick with three colors)
But Jumbo Cactuar is fun, I imagine there are going to be some salty games with that and Rogue's Passage in commander lol |

Gigantic missed opportunity not putting "That's it! I've come up with a new recipeh!" as the flavor text. No, I don't care that it's a token. These are all literally dishes from FF15. |

The design for the summons are so cool. Creatures that only stick around for a short time and take actions and have big special moves really work perfectly as sagas. Being enchantments also helps capture their otherworldliness aspect too imo. Just an inspired choice.

Never played Magic: The Gathering, but interested in getting these cards. I wonder if a couple packs would be enough to learn and play in a two player game.
Mostly want the FF7 character cards though. |

You'll need a couple of starter decks for that. But you may be able to buy a pair of those packaged together. If you're only interested in the artwork and not the gameplay, you will be able to buy individual cards in the extensive online after-market for Magic: The Gathering cards (once the set comes out, of course). |

These cards look pretty cool, but there's something I need to know: Does Aerith have 2 or less Toughness?

I haven't played MTG in 30 years, but I was going to collect these as a Final Fantasy fan. I changed my mind when I saw the prices lol

Packs for this set are geared much more for existing players than newcomers (even if you buy a display box of them, you won’t get enough of the basic resource cards that make up 35-40% of every deck to build two decks, because if you’ve been playing for more than a year you likely have more of those than you’ll ever need), but there will be a two-player “Cloud vs Sephiroth” learn-to-play starter set with two complete decks. In terms of “buy one of these, and you’re ready for game night at your local comic book store” products, there will also be complete FF6, FF7, FFX, and FFIV decks for Commander/EDH (Magic’s most popular game format, which is optimized around 4-player games). |
