King vs Magic The Gathering
Wrapping up our Summer Games Fest coverage, we have the Lords venturing into uncommon waters. King David is going to utilize the starter deck centered around Cloud, Planet’s Champion. It is an aggressive aggro deck that likes to unleash continuous fast damage. He is facing off against Dillon Deveney (principal narrative game designer for the Universes Beyond team), utilizing Sephiroth, Planet’s Heir. Sephiroth is all about controlling the board and slowly stabilizing to win over time. So let’s get into it and see how triumphs in the end!
Thoughts on the Final Fantasy x Magic: The Gathering Crossover
We know I have played for many years, but for others, that’s not the case. As King David and the Lords get their first taste of Magic: The Gathering through the lens of Final Fantasy’s iconic heroes and villains, it’s clear that the crossover delivers both accessibility for newcomers and excitement for longtime fans. With fast-paced action from Cloud and calculated strategy from Sephiroth, the demonstration captures the heart of what makes Magic timeless: every game tells a story. This product is Chris-approved! Whether you’re a seasoned Planeswalker or stepping into the multiverse for the first time, this epic clash of worlds offers a memorable and engaging way to dive in.
