Final Fantasy will be the first Universes Beyond set that's Standard legal, meaning the cards can be played in pretty much any competitive format
The Final Fantasy set will be Standard-legal, available in all formats, making it unique among Universes Beyond releases
Senior game designer Daniel Holt explained that the decision to have each deck themed around one game allowed the team to "dive deep into the lore of each, capturing even more beloved moments from across the games storyline." When asked exactly how Wizards of the Coast came to choose the games that would be included in the crossover (I'm slightly disappointed Final Fantasy 9 didn't make the cut), Holt explained that Final Fantasy 7 and 14 were the clear picks due to their popularity, but that Final Fantasy 6 and 10 were chosen partially due to how many fans of those games were among the Wizards of the Coast team
My rule of thumb has been to only quest when ahead and/or safe
Indeed, most of these characters revealed on the box have also been revealed via the Lorecast that announced the new set (Im sure thats not a coincidence)
What are your picks for sleeper commanders in the set
