Every of Magic’s crossover units has tailored its supply materials to the foundations of Magic: The Gathering differently. One of many methods the Closing Fantasy set will do that’s with double-faced playing cards that signify bosses and different characters changing into their remaining type. Cecil, Darkish Knight turns into Cecil, Redeemed Paladin, as an example, whereas Garland, Knight of Cordelia turns into Chaos, the Limitless, and Emet-Selch, Unsundered turns into Hades, Sorcerer of Eld.
Additionally, the fishing card can rework right into a tenting website.

It seems that not even venerable previous Magic: The Gathering is proof against the lure of the fishing minigame. Due to Closing Fantasy 15’s boy-band street journey, we’ll be capable of play Sidequest: Catch a Fish, a card depicting Prince Noctis demonstrating why girls love him and fish concern him that allows you to “fish” the highest card off your deck every flip. If that card’s an artifact or creature you get to maintain it, and get a free meals token you should use to heal. After that you simply flip Sidequest: Catch a Fish over to turn out to be Cooking Campsite—a land card you’ll be able to faucet for white mana and use to present all of your creatures +1/+1 at the price of an artifact.
The opposite mechanical twist revealed up to now is summons. Provided that summoning monsters to combat for you is the unique conceit of Magic: The Gathering it is humorous to see it highlighted due to Closing Fantasy nearly 32 years later, however the best way summons work right here is sort of totally different to what we have seen earlier than. Closing Fantasy’s summons borrow the saga mechanic, beforehand used for playing cards which have altering results on the turns after they’re performed, usually used to signify a growing plot. Within the Center-earth set, as an example, the saga There and Again Once more represents the story of The Hobbit and, on the third flip after it is performed, allows you to deliver out Smaug.
Closing Fantasy’s summons likewise have totally different results on subsequent turns and vanish as soon as they’re finished, but additionally get to behave as creature playing cards the complete time. Summon: Shiva makes use of Heavenly Strike to stun a creature on every of the primary two turns after being performed, then prompts Diamond Mud on flip three to allow you to draw a card for every of your opponents’ tapped creatures. On the similar time she’s a 4/5 creature you’ll be able to assault and block with.
This crossover has apparently been within the works for 4 years, so clearly plenty of thought has gone into changing the essence of Closing Fantasy into the sport mechanics of Magic: The Gathering. There shall be playing cards based mostly on all 16 mainline Closing Fantasy video games (no sequels or spin-offs, although), together with greater than 100 totally different creatures. Wizards of the Coast is looking it “the biggest assortment of Closing Fantasy paintings ever in a single sport”.
It will be out on June 13 and shall be standard-legal, in addition to having 4 preconstructed Commander decks themed round totally different video games within the sequence. The Closing Fantasy 6 deck has Terra as its Commander, Closing Fantasy 7 has Cloud, Closing Fantasy 10 has Tidus, and Closing Fantasy 14 has Y’shtola, whose card has the pleasing description “cat warlock”.
