Rambling About Magic the Gathering X Final Fantasy - Final Fantasy XIII

After the... tragedy, that was the last couple games, we're back on the uptick with XIII.

Snow Villiers

Look at Snow putting the beatdown on a Cie'th. I don't think XIII gets to shine AS cool as some older games do in a more realistic artstyle, but it is still nice. The vigilance is good for making him a tank, but the power increase to friendship? That's some Snow shit if I've ever heard it; the dude fights for his friends.

Magic Damper

This is... a strange pick? I guess? I mean, functionally, it's great. But it's an odd pick, I had to do research to find it out, cause I never really interacted with this myself. I do like the detail of Fang being used though, since it's either her or Snow that can get that full effect.

Fang, Fearless l'Cie

Fang and Vanille being essential for each other is perfect I'm glad I posted this on pride month, I really like how their art is the same scene from different perspectives. I don't think I really understand her main effect, but the pairing with Vanille is all that's important.

Shambling Cie'th

Having any kind of Cie'th was a must, and I'm glad they're here. Although, interesting how they picked a Sacrifice, rather than the main model you always see. I like the entering tapped, cause it kinda makes me think of 1. the slowness of the enemy themself and 2. how you run into enemies to start up a battle in the game, though that might be a bit of a stretch.

Summon: Brynhildr

A very, very interesting pick of Summon, but I'm not mad. Gestalt Mode giving her haste is very funny; turning into a car does make you faster, after all. I gotta say, the art is also killer, I love the flame effect in the alt art.

Thunder Magic

Who else to get Thunder magic other than Lightning? I believe she's depicted in the Vile Peaks; which would be fitting, since that's where you fight Odin.

Gran Pulse Ochu

This is the best Ochu they could have picked; XIII Ochus are MENACES. I do get why it has that ability, sort of like, growing, but I do think it would have been better if it summoned microchus. Deathtouch is perfect, considering how stupid strong they are.

Sazh Katzroy

There's something about this art that I love. He looks like an old painting, or 50s advertisement, or something. It's funny how much Sazh-related content is getting love in this set, considering how the game's sequels treat him. He deserves the best. I love how his second effect represents how he's The Synergist of the group and gives great buffs.

Sazh's Chocobo

Tiny baby. Adorable art.

Vanille, Cheerful l'Cie

Again, I love how Vanille and Fang's art are together. Her milling makes me think of her Death attack, and then the returning is a Medic thing; that's my interpretation, at least.

Ragnarok, Divine Deliverance

THIS is the real reason for Fang and Vanille, an absolutely incredible pick of card. I like to think their effect, other than all the keywords for being busted, is destroying Orphan, and saving Cocoon/Serah/Dajh.

Hope Estheim

My boy! My favorite character from XIII (a hotter take than liking XI). Obviously he has lifelink since he's The Medic, but I don't really get the mill, beyond fun gameplay. Maybe it's Ravager? Shoutouts to Alexander appearing in his art.

Lightning, Army of One

This is incredible. Obviously Lightning was gonna get a lot of love, she's one of the FF poster children, but this is great. Other than her main art being beautiful, her alt art reminds me of the pose she enters at the end of FFXIII-2, which makes me happy. Her getting a stagger mechanic is such a good way to represent XIII's combat.

Serah Farron/Crystallized Serah

This art is OUTSTANDING. Keeping Serah and Snow's hand in the exact same positions, but in different contexts, is incredible. I really love her flavor text. Her normally feels like she's just supporting Snow, or Lightning, but she's the reason for everyone getting together, so that's why her crystallized form empowers more things. I really love this card.

Eden, Seat of the Sanctum

Eden's main effect feels like Ragnarok's, just slightly different. Mill a Fang and Vanille, destroy Eden, bring back Serah. Great art, as usual.

Island

In this generic land, we have Lake Bresha! This is a good pick, especially since Anima is such a striking set piece for the center.

Cid, Timeless Artificer

I think Raines is the one Cid who suffers from The Bit the most, consider that he's not much of an artificer at all. But it's good art.

Lightning, Security Sergeant

In the Starter Kit we have... another Lightning. This just feels like a way for people to get Lightning without missing out on the Mythic Rare, but it just feels like we could have gotten a better slot, an extra slot, like Xande and Beatrix. Is there a XIII character with an X?

With 15 out of 309 cards, XIII represents 4.85% of the set. While it doesn't have a lot of cards, I think the cards it does have does XIII well. Of course, I'd want more, but we at least have a complete party here.

Things I would add: A villain. What is with the villains being excluded. No Barthandelus, no Orphan, this is wild. I also would maybe have liked to see Odin, since he's so iconic to this game.
