Final Fantasy 7’s Most Iconic City Is Coming To Magic: The Gathering

Summary

  • Magic: The Gathering adds iconic Midgar city from Final Fantasy 7 as a Land-Town Adventure card.
  • Midgar card can be used as a basic Swamp or to sacrifice a creature for cards.
  • The card, based on Final Fantasy 7, references Shinra Corporation’s energy-draining reactors.

In an exciting twist, Magic: The Gathering is introducing a legendary city from the Final Fantasy series as a distinctive type of terrain. This land mirrors the formidable image it held within its original game.

As a devoted fan, I’m excited about the innovative mechanic in Magic: The Gathering that takes inspiration from Final Fantasy. It seems they’re incorporating the concept of special Land-Town cards, such as Zanarkand from Final Fantasy X. These cards serve double duty, acting both as a Land and an Adventure card, allowing for an extra use at an added cost.

On Reddit, MagicTCG has revealed another sneak peek at an upcoming crossover pack with Final Fantasy, featuring Midgar, City of Mako – a city known from Final Fantasy 7. This is a Land-Town card, and its ability will resonate with fans who are well-versed in the original game.

Midgar In Magic: The Gathering Turns Souls Into Profit

In its standard form, Midgar serves much like a typical Swamp, yielding one black mana. But when its special condition is triggered, it transforms into a source of Sorcery. This allows the player to exchange a creature or artifact for the price of three black mana, in return receiving two cards.

As I delve into the vibrant world of Final Fantasy 7, Midgar – the city harnessing the raw power of Mako, the life essence of this realm – stands out. Here, the Shinra Corporation taps into the very heartbeat of the land, converting it into energy. It’s a grim reality that when a lifeform perishes within this game, its spirit flows back into the Lifestream, our world’s circulatory system. Sadly, the Shinra Corporation is siphoning off this essence, an act that stirs up resistance from eco-conscious rebels who fight to protect our planet’s vital life force.

The power of Shinra Corporation should not be underrated, and Midgar City of Mako is equally awe-inspiring. Linking a sacrifice/draw effect to a land significantly strengthens black decks and anything that combines with it, guaranteeing that Mako Reactors will continue to drain life from the entire Magic: The Gathering universe.
