The wait is almost over for Magic: The Gathering fans and Final Fantasy enthusiasts. The highly anticipated crossover set is just around the corner, bringing together iconic characters and memorable moments from the beloved RPG series.
A Labor of Love
The team’s passion for Final Fantasy shines through in this set. It’s clear they poured their hearts into creating a unique experience. One card that’s generating buzz is “Suplex,” a red Common card that lets players destroy an opponent’s Artifact. This card references a pivotal moment in Final Fantasy VI when Sabin Rene Figaro uses his signature move to take down the Phantom Train.
More Than Just a Card
The “Suplex” card is just one of many nods to Final Fantasy’s rich history. Other notable inclusions are the “Secret Rendezvous” cards, which capture the essence of Cloud’s romantic escapades with different companions. These cards come in four variants, each featuring a unique character.
The Magic: The Gathering X Final Fantasy set hits shelves on June 13, promising to bring together fans of both franchises in a celebration of gaming’s most iconic moments.
