While Magic: The Gathering is always a popular topic, the new Final Fantasy expansion for the Universes Beyond series has taken the internet by storm. This official crossover product will not only bring the two IP together, but the Square Enix-inspired cards will also be fully legal in Standard play.

Magic: The Gathering - Final Fantasy is a large, Universes Beyond release that will officially be marked as the franchise’s 105th expansion. The set itself features art and effects from across every existing Final Fantasy title, split into various products such as Commander-specific decks or full on booster bundles.

Magic The Gathering Final Fantasy - Esports and Meta Impact

The meta for MTG will shift pretty substantially once the Final Fantasy set releases, as it is Standard legal and includes new mechanics pulled directly from the games and modified to fit MTG. From Job Select allowing Equipment to give multiple boosts to equipped creatures to Tiered spells getting more powerful the more mana you pour into them, that is just the start.

Saga creatures bring the famous Final Fantasy summons into the game in a familiar form, Adventures are back to act as permanent lands with usable spells, and much more. Some cards like Traveling Chocobo, Vivi Ornitier, the Summons, and even Cloud, Midgar Mercenary show some early potential, though the early outlook on the set appears to be that the many cards are a bit strange or too expensive to find a home in Standard metas.

All of this while the set is packed with 16 games worth of Final Fantasy representation.

The official Magic: The Gathering website has a full breakdown of new and returning mechanics featured in the Final Fantasy set, which gives you an early look at what you need to prepare for ahead of the June 13 release.
