Like many others I jumped right on the Magic The Gathering: Final Fantasy hype train and gorged myself on ripping packs to discover the phenomenal art inside. I’m a huge Final Fantasy fan and a lapsed MTG player and I hadn't touched the game in a decade until this set came along.
At first I was happy to just collect the cards and revel in the nostalgia of it all. So many of my favourite characters and moments in various games have been captured lovingly in the set such as Vivi casting his iconic Fire magic, or being able to equip the Buster Sword. I took part in the prerelease event and played a few matches, forming my deck around a lucky Jumbo Cactuar pull, and that kicked off the itch to play more.
