Final Fantasy Joins the Multiverse
Magic: The Gathering’s FINAL FANTASY crossover preview season is here, and the excitement is off the charts. Whether you’re hoping to summon Cloud, Sephiroth, or your favorite Chocobo into your deck, there’s something magical about seeing beloved characters enter the MTG universe. But today, we’re all about two exclusive blue cards that are ready to take center stage—and no, you don’t need a Limit Break to enjoy them.
First up, Matoya, Archon Elder.
Hailing from Final Fantasy XIV, this legendary mage brings a rich lore background—mentor to Y’shtola, ally of the Scions, and a fixture across multiple expansions. In MTG, she’s a three-mana 1/4 mono-blue rare that looks like a control player’s dream. She’s tricky, efficient, and flavorful—exactly what you’d want in a card honoring one of FFXIV’s iconic mystics.
Then there’s the Valkyrie Aerial Unit.
Straight from Final Fantasy VII, this flying automaton boss now swoops into MTG as a seven-mana 5/4 flyer. While the stats might feel hefty, its alternate casting potential gives you a much cheaper way to deploy it, making it a compelling addition to any blue deck looking to dominate the skies with flair.
So whether you’re in it for nostalgia or power plays, these blue cards are a blast from another world—and we can’t wait to see what else is coming through the Omenpaths.
