Renowned artists have always supported the FINAL FANTASY series, and they have created fresh artwork for the exclusive Borderless FINAL FANTASY Artist cards for Magic: The Gathering — FINAL FANTASY.


 Each guest artist has a carefully chosen card from the main set in this card style, and they have each contributed their own style and original pictures to these cards.  Toshiyuki Itahana's "Vivi Ornitier" and Toshitaka Matsuda's "Kain, Traitorous Dragoon" are the two recently unveiled cards.  Fans should not miss either of these unique cards, which you should showcase as artwork.


Iconic FINAL FANTASY Characters Featured on Cards!


Two beloved characters from the FINAL FANTASY series have been illustrated on Magic cards: 《Choco, Seeker of Paradise》, and 《Moogles’ Valor》, showcasing Chocobos and Moogles who have been adored throughout the series. 

The water-elemental summon Leviathan makes its debut as 《Summon: Leviathan》 in Magic history's first-ever card type, "Saga Creature”. Its immense power is expected to wipe the board with a devastating tsunami.
