Alright, so imagine a room just bursting with the kind of energy you only find at a big convention. Seriously, have you ever been to something like PAX East? Anyway, Wizards of the Coast just dropped this mind-blowing presentation for their new Magic: The Gathering x Final Fantasy set. You know that feeling when you hear a bunch of people screaming and you don’t even know why, but you’re like “Yeah, I’m in”? That was the vibe. They cracked open these new packs—it’s like a surprise party but with cards! Chocobos everywhere, and some lands that straight-up look like postcards from Final Fantasy worlds. Honestly, it was kind of magical in a very geeky way.
So, back in February, Wizards teased us with a sneak peek of the cards, right? But now? They gave a full-on walkthrough. They’re basically saying, “Here’s what you’ll be obsessing over all summer.” It’s bonkers how much thought went into each card. And oh, Yoshitaka Amano’s back! The guy’s a legend, and he drew this wicked new version of Kefka. So amazing, I can’t even.
Magic’s done loads of these crossovers before—like with Lord of the Rings, Marvel, even Spongebob (yep, really). But this Final Fantasy one is off the charts. Hasbro’s big boss, Chris Cocks, mentioned it’s already breaking records. Like, the best-selling set ever. Imagine being a part of that!
It’s wild because we’re still, what, a month out from the official launch? Mark June 13 in your calendar if you want in on this. Oh, and trust me, you’re gonna want to pre-order these bad boys, or you might miss out on scoring those packs when they drop.
