Magic: The Gathering is diving deep into the world of Final Fantasy for its next collaboration, and in addition to some truly gorgeous artwork, it brings with it a handful of exciting mechanics. Following Wizard of the Coast’s PAX East panel, we now have a good look at what some of these mechanics are and how certain cards will synergize with one another.
Though some of these mechanics–such as Job Select–occur more frequently, a defining feature of this Universes Beyond expansion is that certain cards have mechanics that are unique to that card only. Generally, these seem to be found on some of the Final Fantasy series’ biggest hitters, both literally and figuratively. It’s also worth noting that some of these mechanics, such as Tifa’s Landfall and Melee, aren’t new to this series. However, I’ve chosen to go through and include some of these that are not quite as common as your standard Haste, Flying, Lifelink, Deathtouch, Trample, Vigilance, and the like.
Though the team behind the collaboration has assured players that even more cards will be revealed in the coming weeks, below is a list of all the keywords that have been revealed so far. We’ll be sure to update this article as more cards–and mechanics–are unveiled.
