This whole Final Fantasy x Magic the Gathering set has been making me more and more excited with each reveal, but THIS one is special for me… #MTGxFINALFANTASY

Thank you everyone for the positive reception of the #MTGxFINALFANTASY commander decklists today! It’s been great seeing fellow fans share in the love put into these card designs. I’ll be on MTGWeekly tmrw morning at 10am PST to talk about them more and be around for Q&A at the end! ❤️ #WOTCStaff

Want to say, @imdanielholt.bsky.social and @dilloniusrex.bsky.social really did an incredible job matching game moments to card concepts in the #MTGxFINALFANTASY Commander decks. Whether they make you smile... Or cry 🥲 #wotcstaff

Astrologian's Planisphere AD: Stephanie Cheung #MTGxFinalFantasy Another one of my first cards revealed! As an AST main especially, I really wanted to give special attention to the beautiful weapons and armors in-game.

So, that was PAX East weekend. The team and I have been waiting for this for years. Thanks to all of you: whether you packed the panel room, came by the booth, or told us about your love of FINAL FANTASY and Magic, YOU made it unforgettable. I'm so stoked for preview season. Here we go! #wotcstaff

Here’s my interview with @gavinverhey.bsky.social @dilloniusrex.bsky.social @imdanielholt.bsky.social and Zakeel Gordon for #MTGxFINALFANTASY. We talk set-building, the Chocobo headliner, pooling the artists, and more. Notable is the talk about the music of FF! www.gamespot.com/articles/mag...

No words to describe what this means for me. Here's my Vivi Ornitier card for #MTGxFINALFANTASY !✨ So grateful to my AD Stephanie Cheung for trusting in me for this!

And that's a wrap, folks! What an amazing weekend full of amazing people. I had the time of my life and I can't wait for you all to play this wonderful set. #MTGxFINALFANTASY #WOTCStaff

Hyped for folks to discover the deep cut/fan favorite story moments found on reprint and new cards in the commander decks. Each was selected for its flavor alongside its function. Secret Rendezvous captures the date from FF7 and we were able to do all the variants! #MTGxFINALFANTASY #WOTCStaff

That’s a wrap on our meet and greet. What an incredible end to the announcement panel for #MTGxFINALFANTASY! Thanks everyone that stopped by! #WOTCStaff

WE REVEALED IT!!!! #wotcstaff #MTGxFINALFANTASY

Read all about the new and returning mechanics of #MTGxFINALFANTASY with this fun article! (Fun not guaranteed, but I'm hoping. Article is somewhat guaranteed. It's there. I checked.) magic.wizards.com/en/news/feat... #WotCstaff

Dragoon's Lance AD: Stephanie Cheung #MTGxFinalFantasy This was my first ever card commissioned! I was just blown away and so honored, as a long time Final Fantasy fan and especially of XIV.

Wait... Is that...

PAX day 2 is underway! #WOTCStaff You can find these cards on the showfloor, but if you wanna know what they do, we’ll be revealing them at the #MTGxFINALFANTASY panel on the main stage at noon Saturday!

Yuna is the secondary commander of the FF10 commander deck. #MTGxFINALFANTASY I wanted her to tie flavorfully with the new Saga creatures, the summons, given her story and role as Grand Summoner. Both of her abilities will play well with the rest of the counter theme in the precon too! #WOTCStaff

Revealed today, it’s Hildibrand Manderville! As soon as I discovered this character in my playthrough of Final Fantasy XIV, I knew I had to save and design a card for him. Whether in your command zone or in the 99, he will keep rising with his zombie friends. #WOTCStaff #MTGxFINALFANTASY

Hey hey hey #PAXEast ! All weekend we will be sharing some amazing stories all about our #MTGxFINALFANTASY set. If you see me, come say hi! Have a blast, stay hydrated, and I hope to see you all at the main stage reveal on Saturday! #WOTCStaff

Happy birthday Tifa! 🐬 #FF7R #FF7

Happy birthday, Tifa! 🥳 #MTGxFINALFANTASY Melee was a perfect flavor ability for the character and hitting multiple times is exactly what you’ll want to do with your party of 7 powered creatures! 😬 Be sure to check out the panel at PAX East on May 10th next week for even more reveals! #WOTCStaff

www.fiverr.com/s/AyKewka Started my first gig, it would help keep me productive and paid if someone could book me for a character portrait.

Going to be at #PAXEast? You're going to want to be at the Main Stage on Saturday, 5/10 at 12:00 PM Eastern for the #MTGxFINALFANTASY Debut Showcase! For those at home, we got you covered: youtube.com/@mtg

- Y'shtola, Night's Blessed - Final Fantasy XIV x MTG One of the best things to arrive in my inbox : a commission to paint Y’shtola. I loved each minute of the process. Thank you AD Stephanie Cheung. <3

I'm so excited to be presenting this year at GDC in the Narrative Summit! I'll be talking about different approaches to creating playable stories, using examples from my work on Magic and other games. #gamedev #gamenarrative #gamewriting #GDC2025 schedule.gdconf.com/session/game...

Women who play magic are really cool, y'all. 🤩 Thanks for being you, and for continuing to show up in a big way in this male-dominated space in recent years. Happy International Women's Day! I'm glad you're here. You make this hobby, and the world in general, better.🩷

I'm back with another BIG Magic: The Gathering reveal – The first 6 cards from the upcoming Spider-Man crossover! I also got to pick the brains of WOTC’s Max McCall and @maro254.bsky.social about the set. Take a look! www.ign.com/articles/spi...

Magic head designer affirms game’s diversity efforts: It ‘means something to people’

Howell, my ratman babygirl Unseelie warlock! Hoping we get to lvl 3 next session so I can start Misty Stepping in different flavors

Owen Rosso, our party's Vulpin cleric! A sweet and shy nugget who seems to have a secret penchant for the extravagant.

Ozurzion Sunvein, our party's sorcerer! An altruistic, scholarly archeologist with a fascination with ancient artifacts.

Our party's centaur barbarian! Sweet, albeit naive, she bumped into a very lost and confused Howell while delivering some secret, important packages and has been helping him navigate the Mortal Realm. Designed by the wonderful Caminukai.

Our seven year-long campaign ended last year. Meet Howell, my hexblood warlock, for the new campaign that started this week!

These are the prints you can get if you sign up to the Trader tier on my Patreon before the end of the month! There are other goodies in there too as well :D Thank you so much for all your support! 🐍💚 www.patreon.com/caminukai

Get ready for roadmap full of awesome stuff from #dungeonsanddragons!! These covers HIT HARD (like for ATTK Nat 20) #wotcstaff #dnd #Dragons

Baloth Prime Got to paint a frozen Lao Shan Lung in the space! Couldnt ask for more. AD Zack Stella For MTG Edge of Eternities, coming out in July 2025! #noai #illustration #mtgart

We tried a few different options for the keyword before going back to the then placeholder now final name “behold”. It was just so fun for people to loudly proclaim “BEHOLD a DRAGON!” in playtests. I encourage you to all do this at prerelease too. #wotcstaff
