<p>Ahh, Friday. The day when many people get the opportunity to begin winding down from the busy workweek. Well, our due diligence slows that downtime for us a little, because now it's time to showcase some <em>Final Fantasy</em> spoilers! These previews are from across the content dated Friday, May 23rd. In it, you'll see cards from <em>Through the Ages</em>, some fresh faces, and even some cards that are downright overkill. We aim to get these out to you ahead of their inclusion in the <a href="https://magic.wizards.com/en/products/final-fantasy/card-image-gallery">official Card Image Gallery</a> for the set, because we're cool like that. Are you ready? Let's venture forth!</p>
<h2>A Single Reveal From Thursday, May 22nd</h2>
<p>In our need to cover as many <em>Final Fantasy </em>spoilers from May 22nd as we could, we nevertheless saw that one made it out <a href="https://edhrec.com/articles/best-final-fantasy-spoilers-from-thursday-may-22nd">post-publication</a>. This card, in particular:</p>
<div id="attachment_153918" style="width: 411px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://edhrecstatic.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/01-Gogo-Master-of-Mimicry.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-153918" class="wp-image-153918" src="https://edhrecstatic.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/01-Gogo-Master-of-Mimicry.jpg" alt="Gogo, Master of Mimicry, a new card from Final Fantasy. Previewed late in the day on Thursday, May 22nd.

Previewed late in the day on Thursday, May 22nd. Image credit: Wizards of the Coast and Square Enix.</p></div>
<p>Gogo, Master of Mimicry is a very strong take on <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Strionic Resonator" href="#" target="_blank">Strionic Resonator</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>. The main reason we didn't cover Gogo as an addendum is that we only had the Japanese render post-publication. But my oh my, this card is glorious for players who like doubling up on their abilities... Or tripling up. Or quadrupling. You get the idea.</p>
<h2><em>Final Fantasy Previews For Friday, May 23rd</em></h2>
<p>With Gogo out of the way, let's jump right in to cover today's spoilers! There are approximately twelve previews from the set proper, as well as one new reveal from the <em>Through the Ages</em> bonus sheet. Let's look at the <em>Final Fantasy</em> main set first:</p>

<p>The addition of a rare dual land may imply the existence of other rare dual lands in the set. Will this come to pass? This remains to be seen, but it seems plausible that it will.</p>
<h3><em>Through the Ages</em> Bonus Sheet Reveal</h3>
<p>Finally, there was one card from the <em>Through the Ages</em> sheet revealed today:</p>
<div id="attachment_153932" style="width: 411px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://edhrecstatic.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/01-Gilgamesh-Weapon-Collector-Godo-Bandit-Warlord.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-153932" class="wp-image-153932" src="https://edhrecstatic.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/01-Gilgamesh-Weapon-Collector-Godo-Bandit-Warlord.jpg" alt="Gilgamesh, Weapon Collector, a reskin of Godo, Bandit Warlord.

Image credit: Wizards of the Coast and Square Enix</p></div>
<p>This leaves us with the following <em>Final Fantasy</em> games needing this many cards worth of representation from <em>Through the Ages</em>:</p>
<ul>
<li><em>FFIV</em>: 1</li>
<li><em>FFVII</em>: 1</li>
<li><em>FFVIII</em>: 1</li>
<li><em>FFIX</em>: 2</li>
<li><em>FFX</em>: 1</li>
<li><em>FFXI</em>: 1</li>
</ul>
<p>With only seven cards remaining in the game crunch, things are getting pretty down to the wire!</p>
<p>And now, let's ask you, dear readers: Have you played many of the sixteen main <em>Final Fantasy</em> games? Are you feeling good about the games you like most in the series, and namely, how well they're represented in this <em>Magic</em> set? And, if you haven't played a lot of the video games, has this set inspired you to do so? Sound off below!</p>


Best Final Fantasy Spoilers For Friday, May 23rd

Best Free Blue Spells for Commander

<p style="text-align: right;"><em><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Sephiroth, Fallen Hero" href="#" target="_blank">Sephiroth, Fallen Hero</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> | Art by <a href="https://scryfall.com/search?q=a%3A%E2%80%9CIttoku%E2%80%9D&amp;unique=art" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Ittoku</a></em></p>
<p>Hello! Welcome back to <em>Archetypes of Imagination</em>, the series where we build decks based on popular Commander archetypes. I'll be using Scryfall's tagging system and EDHREC's Tag pages to build around a new theme each week. Scryfall has a really cool way of categorizing cards, where each card has specific labels attached to it for later reference. For example, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Drakuseth, Maw of Flames" href="#" target="_blank">Drakuseth, Maw of Flames</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> has the burn tag and <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Scavenger Grounds" href="#" target="_blank">Scavenger Grounds</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> has the graveyard hate tag. EDHREC's tag system is really cool too, letting users see popular cards associated with a given strategy.</p>
<p>This week we'll be building a deck focused on “flinging” creatures: sacrificing them to deal damage equal to their power to any target. To maximize the value of these <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Fling" href="#" target="_blank">Fling</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>s, we're going to need some pretty big creatures to throw around. There's lots of ways to make big creatures in <em>Magic</em>, but I'd like to focus on a card from the most exciting upcoming set: <em>Final Fantasy</em>! This set has some super powerful cards, but one of them caught my eye for this week's article. So, this deck will be helmed by… <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Sephiroth, Fallen Hero" href="#" target="_blank">Sephiroth, Fallen Hero</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>!</p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Sephiroth, Fallen Hero"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Fling"></div></div>
<h2>What Does Sephiroth, Fallen Hero Do?</h2>
<p><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Sephiroth, Fallen Hero" href="#" target="_blank">Sephiroth</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> is super strong, turning each of our modified creatures (creatures that are equipped, enchanted, or have counters on them) into big, bulky 7/5s every time he attacks. And, on top of that, it's easy to avoid paying extra to recast Sephiroth because he can return himself to the battlefield if we sacrifice a modified creature. But we need a little more direction than just modified creatures. We'll be focusing on pumping up our creatures with +1/+1 counters, and then taking advantage of their Sephiroth-boosted power to quickly reduce our opponents' life totals to 0. Let's get brewing!</p>
<h2>Key Fling Strategy Cards For Sephiroth, Fallen Hero</h2>
<p>This deck is focused on dealing direct damage to our opponents based on our creatures' power. Let's talk about the best ones. One of my personal favorites is <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Brion Stoutarm" href="#" target="_blank">Brion Stoutarm</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>. This big guy can take our 7/5s and sacrifice them for both direct damage and life gain. Plus, this is a repeatable effect, meaning we can cause a 14 point life swing on each table rotation. Similarly, I'm a big fan of <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Burning Anger" href="#" target="_blank">Burning Anger</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>. Although this isn't a traditional fling effect, it lets our biggest creatures hit our opponents over and over again. Plus, the classics like <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Fling" href="#" target="_blank">Fling</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Kazuul&#039;s Fury" href="#" target="_blank">Kazuul&#039;s Fury</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> and <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Thud" href="#" target="_blank">Thud</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> are all here. Although they're not necessarily as flashy as some of the other cards I've talked about, they're important role players in this deck's 99.</p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Brion Stoutarm"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Burning Anger"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Kazuul&#039;s Fury"></div></div>
<p>We want to get extra value when we fling a creature. There are a few creatures, like <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Cacophony Scamp" href="#" target="_blank">Cacophony Scamp</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Fireblade Charger" href="#" target="_blank">Fireblade Charger</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, and <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Heartfire Hero" href="#" target="_blank">Heartfire Hero</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, that can deal additional damage to our opponents when they die, making them ideal targets for our effects that require a creature sacrifice. <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Elenda&#039;s Hierophant" href="#" target="_blank">Elenda&#039;s Hierophant</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> can be a big, evasive attacker once we modify it, and will explode into a bunch of valuable tokens when it dies. Similarly, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Gleeful Arsonist" href="#" target="_blank">Gleeful Arsonist</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> has the ability to come back to life with a counter on it and start dealing extra damage to our opponents.</p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Heartfire Hero"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Elenda&#039;s Hierophant"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Gleeful Arsonist"></div></div>
<p>But we won't be sacrificing <em>all</em> of our creatures; we'd like to attack with our 7/5s too. <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Paladin Elizabeth Taggerdy" href="#" target="_blank">Paladin Elizabeth Taggerdy</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> and <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Ryan Sinclair" href="#" target="_blank">Ryan Sinclair</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> can both let us cheat the mana cost of our spells once their powers are big enough, and our commander makes that a trivial requirement. Similarly, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Krenko, Tin Street Kingpin" href="#" target="_blank">Krenko, Tin Street Kingpin</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> can flood the board with Goblins quite quickly and has the ability to grow larger as the game goes on.</p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Paladin Elizabeth Taggerdy"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Ryan Sinclair"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Krenko, Tin Street Kingpin"></div></div>
<h2>Ways to Modify Our Creatures</h2>
<p>In order to make a Sephiroth deck work, we'll need some extra ways to modify our creatures. One of my favorites is <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Mikaeus, the Lunarch" href="#" target="_blank">Mikaeus, the Lunarch</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>. This Cleric enters the battlefield as a modified creature, and can tap to let us add +1/+1 counters to every creature we control. This is not only a super powerful buff, but synergizes perfectly with our commander's base power/toughness buff. I've also included <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Felidar Retreat" href="#" target="_blank">Felidar Retreat</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> and <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Cathars&#039; Crusade" href="#" target="_blank">Cathars&#039; Crusade</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> for team-wide +1/+1 counter distribution. These cards are super strong in <span class="mana-container-container"><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-w" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span></span>-based creature decks, and they're a perfect fit here.</p>
<p>Finally, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Uncivil Unrest" href="#" target="_blank">Uncivil Unrest</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> is a fantastic way to close out games. Because we've got so many ways to distribute +1/+1 counters among our creatures, this is essentially a damage doubler that can give our creatures haste if needed.</p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Mikaeus, the Lunarch"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Cathars&#039; Crusade"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Uncivil Unrest"></div></div>
<p>We'll also need a few ways to protect our board state, given how heavy we're leaning into having big creatures on hand at all times. One of my favorite new cards fits perfectly here: <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Duty Beyond Death" href="#" target="_blank">Duty Beyond Death</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>. We'll usually have at least one creature on board that we don't mind sacrificing, and this protection spell will also add some bonus +1/+1 counters to our creatures.</p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Duty Beyond Death"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Bulwark Ox"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Zack Fair"></div></div>
<p>Similarly, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Bulwark Ox" href="#" target="_blank">Bulwark Ox</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> and <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Zack Fair" href="#" target="_blank">Zack Fair</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> can add some counters to our creatures and protect them from our opponents' pesky removal spells. There's been a lot of cool board state protection tools printed recently, and I'd rather run these than the obviously-powerful <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Teferi&#039;s Protection" href="#" target="_blank">Teferi&#039;s Protection</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> in a lower-bracket deck like this.</p>

<p>I hope you enjoyed this <em>Final Fantasy-</em>themed edition of <em>Archetypes of Imagination</em>. Before you go, I wanted to talk about this deck's board wipe package. I intentionally picked three wipes that work very well with the board states we plan to construct. <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Damning Verdict" href="#" target="_blank">Damning Verdict</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> is pretty close to being a one-sided wipe for just <span class="mana-container-container"><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-3" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span></span><span class="mana-container-container"><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-w" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span></span><span class="mana-container-container"><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-w" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span></span>, and that's hard to pass up. Similarly, if we cast <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Spiteful Banditry" href="#" target="_blank">Spiteful Banditry</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> for X=4 after combat, we've got a good chance of hitting all of our opponents' creatures while sparing ours. And, finally, as one final fling effect, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Chandra&#039;s Ignition" href="#" target="_blank">Chandra&#039;s Ignition</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> can both wipe the board and hit our opponents for some big damage.</p>

How to Make a Fling Deck, With Sephiroth, Fallen Hero

<p style="text-align: right;"><em><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Wolverine, Best There Is" href="#" target="_blank">Wolverine, Best There Is</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> | Art by <a href="https://www.artofmtg.com/artist/victor-adame-minguez/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Victor Adame Minguez</a></em></p>
<p>Hello, and welcome back to <em>Beyond the Multiverse</em>. This week we're back in the <em>Marvel</em> universe. But don't worry about <em>Marvel </em>fatigue; this might be the last time until the <em>Spider-Man</em> set drops, as we're currently getting daily doses of <em>Final Fantasy</em> previews (I can barely contain my hype for the set at this point).</p>
<p>In the meantime, let's see what <em>Marvel</em> deck I should tackle next...</p>
<p><em>Snikt!</em></p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Wolverine, Best There Is"></div></div>
<p>Oh, right.</p>
<p>Without further ado, let's look at <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Wolverine, Best There Is" href="#" target="_blank">Wolverine, Best There Is</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>.</p>
<h2>The Wolverine of Canada</h2>
<p>Wolverine is an alias of James Howlett (aka Logan) who was born in Alberta, Canada. He was most prominent as a member of the X-Men, and has been one of the Avengers in some continuities. He's portrayed as a gruff loner with a rebellious attitude against authority figures. A deeper look reveals a heavily traumatized life, a struggle to balance between his human and "wild" self (including his "berserker rages"), and a code of honor and morality. He has been known to leave the team(s) for a time to deal with his issues (something we see in the <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Rhythm of the Wild|sld|1740" href="#" target="_blank">Rhythm of the Wild</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> card depicting him.</p>
<p>His card does exactly what it says on the tin: build him up and <em>*snikt* </em>your opponents' life totals. All he wants to do is attack, and attack he will, because we're going to give our opponents a serious case of overkill. Fortunately, the <em>Universes Beyond</em> card pool helps with this, since we have a nice blend of old and new cards that can make Wolverine deadly.</p>
<h2>Going Berserk With Wolverine</h2>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Bone Sabres"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Rancor|pip|205"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Gimli&#039;s Fury"></div></div>
<p>We'll need ways to power Wolverine up. He starts with a small statline, so we'll need to make him bigger. Firstly, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Bone Sabres" href="#" target="_blank">Bone Sabres</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> (22,152 decks) will give him four +1/+1 counters on attack, making him a lethal threat. Similarly, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Power Fist" href="#" target="_blank">Power Fist</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> (44,023 decks) gives him trample, and also gives him a lot of counters whenever he connects to a player (a lovely synergy with his first ability, which I'll get to momentarily). Thirdly, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Champion&#039;s Helm|fic|337" href="#" target="_blank">Champion&#039;s Helm</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> (68,400 decks) serves two purposes: it gives Wolverine a smaller buff, and it also shields him from targeted removal.</p>
<p>However, improving Wolverine's statline isn't the only way we can make him into a deadly force. Before I go over that, I need to mention that first ability, <em>Unrivaled Lethality</em>, which doubles the damage that he deals. With this, we can make him deal even more havoc. Crucially, double strike is a major player, allowing Wolverine to devastate your opponents. <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Chaos Terminator Lord" href="#" target="_blank">Chaos Terminator Lord</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> (6,928 decks) gives it to him each combat. Both <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Fireshrieker|pip|232" href="#" target="_blank">Fireshrieker</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> (96,257 decks) and <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="The Spear of Leonidas" href="#" target="_blank">The Spear of Leonidas</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> (21,477 decks) provide double strike, and the Spear comes with additional utility as well, if needed.</p>
<p>In addition, trample is another keyword that works with Wolverine. <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Rancor" href="#" target="_blank">Rancor</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> (128,140 decks) gives his power a small buff, but also gives him the trample ability. <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Shadowspear|sld|1505" href="#" target="_blank">Shadowspear</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> (reskinned as Totec's Spear; 199,617 decks) bestows the trample, lifelink, and tears down indestructible and hexproof creatures as well. In a similar vein, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Loxodon Warhammer|sld|1034" href="#" target="_blank">Loxodon Warhammer</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> (reskinned as Ghal Maraz, the Great Shatterer; 106,676 decks) does this with an even bigger boost to his power. Thirdly, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Bloodcrusher of Khorne" href="#" target="_blank">Bloodcrusher of Khorne</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> (14,807 decks) gives trample to all of our creatures. Finally, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Gimli&#039;s Fury" href="#" target="_blank">Gimli&#039;s Fury</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> (6,330 decks) is a one shot that can potentially eliminate opponents with a jump-scare.</p>
<h2>Of Immortality and Regeneration</h2>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Bombadil&#039;s Song"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Rhythm of the Wild|sld|1740"></div></div>
<p>Wolverine has the ability to regenerate himself, but we can't always rely on that because it requires two mana open. Worse, you may have to protect him multiple times, as he is a removal magnet. Fortunately we have other ways to protect him. I mentioned <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Champion&#039;s Helm" href="#" target="_blank">Champion&#039;s Helm</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, and that helps. In addition, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Mithril Coat" href="#" target="_blank">Mithril Coat</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> (257,689 decks) grants him indestructibility, especially at instant speed, and can auto-equip onto Wolverine. Further, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Heroic Intervention|sld|1750" href="#" target="_blank">Heroic Intervention</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> (821,880 decks) protects our board while <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Bombadil&#039;s Song" href="#" target="_blank">Bombadil&#039;s Song</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> (16,261 decks) protects just our commander. Finally, since Wolverine will be subject to counterspells when casting him, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Rhythm of the Wild" href="#" target="_blank">Rhythm of the Wild</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> (302,108 decks) ensures that he gets to land while rudely telling those pesky blue players to bother someone else.</p>
<p><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Rite of Passage|sld|1739" href="#" target="_blank">Rite of Passage</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> (15,550 decks) can grow Wolverine with each time he's dealt damage, but be sure to keep him from dying when doing so. Lastly, if Wolverine gets too expensive to cast, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Command Beacon|sld|1533" href="#" target="_blank">Command Beacon</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> (269,829 decks) can be sacrificed to get him out of the command zone, so you can cast him again.</p>

<h2>Using Deadly Force</h2>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Berserk|sld|1738"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Scourge of the Throne|ltc|225"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Overpowering Attack"></div></div>
<p>If I was using in-universe cards with this list, we'd get a lot more power-doubling cards in here. <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Berserk" href="#" target="_blank">Berserk</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> (24,694 decks) is like <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Gimli&#039;s Fury" href="#" target="_blank">Gimli&#039;s Fury</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> in that it can kill someone out of nowhere. In addition, we can regenerate Wolverine and nullify Berserk's end step trigger, ensuring his survival. In a similar vein, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Unnatural Growth" href="#" target="_blank">Unnatural Growth</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> (162,583 decks) makes Wolverine's stats double. A high enough statline will make this lethal.</p>
<p>That said, what we also really need are extra combat steps. Firstly, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Seize the Day|sld|480" href="#" target="_blank">Seize the Day</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> (reskinned as Round Two; 63,495 decks) only targets Wolverine, but it can be cast again from your graveyard for, befitting its <em>Universes Beyond </em>name, a second round of combat. Secondly, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Bloodthirster" href="#" target="_blank">Bloodthirster</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> (which is also really good with double strike, by the way) and <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Scourge of the Throne" href="#" target="_blank">Scourge of the Throne</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> (44,711 decks and 70,116 decks, respectively) are two creatures that achieve this, with the former netting us multiple combat steps if the stars align.</p>
<p>Moreover, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Grim Reaper&#039;s Sprint" href="#" target="_blank">Grim Reaper&#039;s Sprint</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> (19,267 decks) gives a small buff to Wolverine as well as the above, but a creature will need to die to cast it cheaply. While it's not in the list, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Last Night Together" href="#" target="_blank">Last Night Together</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> (9,188 decks) has two creatures attack on the next combat. That said, it provides counters and some useful keywords. Finally, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Overpowering Attack" href="#" target="_blank">Overpowering Attack</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>'s (40,140 decks) cost can be reduced if Wolverine was able to connect the first time around.</p>
<h2>Other Cards For Wolverine</h2>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Chandra&#039;s Ignition|sld|1594"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="The Ozolith|sld|1741"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Rising of the Day"></div></div>
<p>There's a few other noteworthy cards I wanted to mention. First of these is <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Chandra&#039;s Ignition" href="#" target="_blank">Chandra&#039;s Ignition</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> (reskinned as Miku's Ignition; 141,494 decks). Wolverine's first ability gives it more reach, letting you remove more creatures than you typically would. Secondly, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="The Ozolith" href="#" target="_blank">The Ozolith</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> (reskinned as Admantium Bonding Tank; 203,856 decks) will store any +1/+1 counters that Wolverine had, should he be removed. Then, you recast him and move the counters back on him. Next, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Gimli&#039;s Axe" href="#" target="_blank">Gimli&#039;s Axe</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> (7,820 decks) not only gives our commander a big power boost, but the Equipment grants him evasion as well.</p>
<p>Next, both <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Hunter&#039;s Bow" href="#" target="_blank">Hunter&#039;s Bow</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> and <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Gimli&#039;s Reckless Might" href="#" target="_blank">Gimli&#039;s Reckless Might</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> (11,306 and 20,745 decks, respectively) allow Wolverine to pick off opposing creatures (and the latter gives him haste). <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Inscription of Abundance|ltc|251" href="#" target="_blank">Inscription of Abundance</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> (51,870 decks) packs a lot of utility: it buoys our life total, buffs Wolverine, and allows him to pick off a pesky creature. Speaking of haste, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Rising of the Day" href="#" target="_blank">Rising of the Day</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> (138,156 decks) gives our commander a tiny buff, but it more importantly gives him haste. <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Excalibur, Sword of Eden" href="#" target="_blank">Excalibur, Sword of Eden</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> (61,469 decks) is among the most terrifying cards in the deck. Equipping it to our commander means he's automatically in lethal range, whether it'd be commander damage, or ordinary damage.</p>
<p>We also have a couple of creatures that could use a boost to achieve their effects. <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Atalan Jackal" href="#" target="_blank">Atalan Jackal</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> (26,236 decks) ramps us on connecting, and it already has trample and taste. Also, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Crimson Caravaneer" href="#" target="_blank">Crimson Caravaneer</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> (6,082 decks) comes with double strike and trample, plus nets us some treasure tokens when it connects. Finally, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Cavern-Hoard Dragon" href="#" target="_blank">Cavern-Hoard Dragon</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> (70,080 decks) gives us a ton of Treasures when they hit someone relying too much on their precious trinkets. Unlike the other two, the Dragon doesn't need much support, since it's got a decent statline.</p>
<h2>We're Done Here, Bub</h2>
<p>In conclusion, the stars mostly aligned with this build. Using the <em>Universes Beyond</em> card pool, most of the key pieces found their way into the deck, and I'm sure there will be more support for Wolverine in the future (a reskinned <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Xenagos, God of Revels" href="#" target="_blank">Xenagos, God of Revels</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> would be nice). This deck is one of those where you don't want to do any thinking and help wind down for the night. Simple decks like that are good to have on hand.</p>
<p>Half of the <em>Marvel</em> legends are now covered, and at this point I'm using multiple legends from certain sets. I imagine we could do with a break from the likes of <em>The Lord of the Rings</em>, and find something fresh. Maybe something from the <em>Secret Lair Drops</em>, perhaps (provided, of course, I can assemble the deck with the card pool)?</p>
<p>On a different note, I did receive an idea for an article a little bit ago, and I'll soon get to it. Feel free to let me know in the comments which <em>Universes Beyond </em>commander you'd like me to cover next, especially those from franchises I haven't covered yet. Join me next time when we venture off the beaten path for a change of scenery.</p>

<p>The writer for <em>Untold Stories: Elspeth</em> is <strong>Dan Watters</strong>, who recently wrote <em>TMNT: Shredder</em>. According to Dark Horse Comics, here is the summary for the miniseries:</p>
<blockquote>
<p class="paragraph jsx-2269604527" data-cy="paragraph">Elspeth is dead. But her story is not yet over.</p>
<p class="paragraph jsx-2269604527" data-cy="paragraph">The sun god Heliod, having grown envious of his champion, struck her down to the underworld. There, she is forced to relive the worst moments of her life for all eternity. But Elspeth does not submit to despair—she emerges from each conflict a greater hero than before. And for a great hero like Elspeth, what is death but another challenge to overcome?</p>

<p>Says <strong>Jackie Jones</strong>, <em>Magic</em>'s Vice President for Creative, on this collaboration and specifically about Elspeth's part in it:</p>
<blockquote><p>"Elspeth’s journey has always resonated deeply with our fans and bringing her untold story to life in this exciting new format has been a real creative highlight for us. [...]Working with Dark Horse and this phenomenal team of artists and writers, we’re thrilled to give players and readers a deeper look into one of <em>Magic</em>’s most iconic heroes.”</p></blockquote>
<p>Another quote from <strong>Roy Graham</strong>, Senior Story Lead for <em>Magic: The Gathering</em> with Wizards of the Coast, elaborates on Elspeth's overall popularity as a character in the game:</p>
<blockquote><p>"We can't wait to finally tell the story of Theros: Beyond Death. [...] Our fans and dedicated readers have wanted to see Elspeth's escape from the underworld brought to life since the iconic set was first released and working with Dark Horse to make it happen is a dream come true."</p>

<p>In the past, Wizards of the Coast has collaborated with comic companies such as IDW to bring their stories to a visual storytelling medium. However, licensing issues imply that we won't likely see any new characters from the comics on cards, at least in the near future (incidentally, this is part of why Wizards killed <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Dack Fayden" href="#" target="_blank">Dack Fayden</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> during <em>War of the Spark</em>).</p>
<p><em>Untold Stories: Elspeth</em> comes out on Wednesday, September 10th, 2025. As a miniseries, it will run for a span of four issues. Naturally, we will review this series as it comes out. Meanwhile, are you excited for this Dark Horse Comics miniseries to come out? Sound off below!</p>


Dark Horse Comics' First Magic Comic Focuses On Elspeth

<p><em>Final Fantasy</em> previews for this week have been quite exciting! However, the week is starting to come to an end. That said, the preview season for this set is still going quite strong. We still have an entire <em>week</em> of previews after this week draws to a close! As such, here are the previews for Thursday, May 22nd!</p>
<h2><em>Final Fantasy</em> Previews From Yesterday's End</h2>
<p>Naturally, some of these spoilers came to light after we published <a href="https://edhrec.com/articles/best-final-fantasy-spoilers-for-wednesday-may-21st">yesterday's recap</a>. As we wish to recap these cards as well, let's look at what we missed on Wednesday, May 21st:</p>
<h3>Stolen Uniform</h3>

<h3><em>Through the Ages</em> Bonus Sheet Preview From May 21st</h3>
<p>In addition to the two cards previewed and shown above, one card from the <em>Through the Ages</em> bonus sheet became public as well:</p>
<div id="attachment_153820" style="width: 411px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://edhrecstatic.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/01-Warrior-of-Light-Adeline-Resplendent-Cathar.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-153820" class="wp-image-153820" src="https://edhrecstatic.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/01-Warrior-of-Light-Adeline-Resplendent-Cathar.jpg" alt="Hero of Light, a reskin of Adeline, Resplendent Cathar.

<h2>May 22nd <em>Final Fantasy</em> Previews</h2>
<p>May 22nd's previews were quite cool. We got the rest of the <em>FFXV</em> party, which was consistent on many people's largely varied wish lists, as well as their car, The Regalia. We got a few cool cards with flavor from other games as well, including the World Map from the first <em>Final Fantasy</em> game. World Map looks like it's a better iteration of <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Wayfarer&#039;s Bauble" href="#" target="_blank">Wayfarer&#039;s Bauble</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> and a slightly less wieldy <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Expedition Map" href="#" target="_blank">Expedition Map</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>. That is to say, it's a strong staple in decks that lack or want additional ramp.</p>
<p>Anyway, here are the day's previews!</p>
<h3>Ignis Scientia</h3>
<div id="attachment_153824" style="width: 411px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="https://edhrecstatic.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/01-Ignis-Scientia.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-153824" class="wp-image-153824" src="https://edhrecstatic.com/articles/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/01-Ignis-Scientia.jpg" alt="Ignis Scientia, a new card from Final Fantasy.

<h3>May 22nd's <em>Through the Ages</em> Preview Card</h3>
<p>Finally, we got another <em>Through the Ages</em> bonus sheet preview card on May 22nd as well. What better card to represent Noctis of <em>Final Fantasy XV</em> than <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Kenrith, the Returned King?" href="#" target="_blank">Kenrith, the Returned King?</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span></p>

<p>This preview from <em>Through the Ages</em>, paired with the previous day's, puts the current total number of revealed cards at 56 out of 64. That means there are only eight cards to go! As there are four cards per game represented in this bonus sheet, that means a crunch for games in this sheet is easy to track. Below is a list of the number of cards remaining for the sheet:</p>
<ul>
<li><em>FFI</em> 0</li>
<li><em>FFII</em> 0</li>
<li><em>FFIII</em> 0</li>
<li><em>FFIV</em> 1</li>
<li><em>FFV</em> 1</li>
<li><em>FFVI</em> 0</li>
<li><em>FFVII</em> 1</li>
<li><em>FFVIII</em> 1</li>

<li><em>FFXIII</em> 0</li>
<li><em>FFXIV</em> 0</li>
<li><em>FFXV</em> 0</li>
<li><em>FFXVI</em> 0</li>
</ul>
<h2>Time For A Road Trip!</h2>
<p>With the <em>FFXV</em> gang all together at last, it is certain that players will want to make a deck based around the party, probably led by Kenrith as Noctis. Seems like a great opportunity for it!</p>
<p>So now, let's open the floor to you before these are all absorbed into the official <a href="https://magic.wizards.com/en/products/final-fantasy/card-image-gallery">Card Image Gallery</a> on DailyMTG, dear readers. Do May 22nd's <em>Final Fantasy</em> previews excite you as a deck builder? Do you have any plans to make decks with any of these cards? Are you anticipating any other important characters from the game series? Sound off below!</p>


Best Final Fantasy Spoilers From Thursday, May 22nd

<p style="text-align: right;"><em><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Serah Farron" href="#" target="_blank">Serah Farron</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> | Art By: <a href="https://scryfall.com/search?q=a%3A%E2%80%9CCarissa+Susilo%E2%80%9D&amp;unique=art" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Carissa Susilo</a></em></p>
<p><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Serah Farron" href="#" target="_blank">Serah Farron</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, a <span class="mana-container-container"><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-1" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span></span><span class="mana-container-container"><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-g" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span></span><span class="mana-container-container"><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-w" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span></span> 2/2 Human Citizen, is a very unassuming card. Normally, this would be just another creature tossed to the bulk box, never to be seen again. But this is <em>Magic: The Gathering</em> in the year 2025, so let's see what kind of deck we can make with her.</p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards side-by-side"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Serah Farron"></div></div>
<h2>What Does Serah Farron Do?</h2>
<p>The main focus of this card is making the first legendary creature we cast each turn cost <span class="mana-container-container"><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-2" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span></span> less, which is strong ramp to have on a commander. We can flip Serah into Crystallized Serah by controlling two other legends at the beginning of our combats. As a legendary artifact, it still reduces costs but comes with a +2/+2 bonus for our legendary creatures.</p>
<p>So, what is this deck looking to do? Play legends, play some more legends, and win the game. That's the strategy, and it does this reasonably well. This deck runs 36 creatures, and 34 of them just so happen to be legendary. We hope to cast <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Serah Farron" href="#" target="_blank">Serah Farron</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> on turn three, and if everything goes right, the card should be flipping over by turn five, with us turning some creatures sideways.</p>
<h2>Key Cards for Serah Farron</h2>
<p>The deck's first card to be discussed is a very special <span class="mana-container-container"><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-3" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span></span> mana value rock.</p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Relic of Legends"></div></div>
<p><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Relic of Legends" href="#" target="_blank">Relic of Legends</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> is possibly the single best card in the entire deck, and that's not hyperbole. Selesnya is not often a color combination that needs to run mana rocks, as having access to green gives land ramp options. But this deck just so happens to come packed with 34 creatures that can be used as a makeshift mana rock. If Relic hits the battlefield, we should be able to combine it with the cost reduction of our commander to turbo out many creatures to the battlefield.</p>
<p>Some legends are better than others, for sure. Compare <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite" href="#" target="_blank">Elesh Norn, Grand Cenobite</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> to a new card like <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Shelinda, Yevon Acolyte" href="#" target="_blank">Shelinda, Yevon Acolyte</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, and some discrepancies do appear. Both cards are good, but like many creatures in the deck, it will depend on what's happening across the table from you. So, here are some of my favorites.</p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Yoshimaru, Ever Faithful"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Trostani Discordant"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Sergeant John Benton"></div></div>
<p><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Yoshimaru, Ever Faithful" href="#" target="_blank">Yoshimaru, Ever Faithful</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> is the best boy on the battlefield. It gets so incredibly big so fast in this deck and is one of the best creatures to help flip our commander.</p>
<p><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Trostani Discordant" href="#" target="_blank">Trostani Discordant</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> has earned a special place in my heart for the number of times my opponents have forgotten that I get my creatures back if they're stolen. The +1/+1 and the lifelinking tokens are also a pretty sweet treat. And <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Sergeant John Benton" href="#" target="_blank">Sergeant John Benton</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> is a creature that will have your opponents taking damage, but not realizing that they should have blocked instead.</p>
<p>As an honorable mention, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Reki, the History of Kamigawa" href="#" target="_blank">Reki, the History of Kamigawa</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> finds a place as one of the most insane card draw options a deck has ever seen.</p>
<h2>Legends Matter</h2>
<p>Outside of the creatures, we have other cards that care about how many legends we're running.</p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Kamahl&#039;s Druidic Vow"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Urza&#039;s Ruinous Blast"></div></div>
<p>These are twists on classic cards <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Genesis Wave" href="#" target="_blank">Genesis Wave</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> and <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Planar Cleansing" href="#" target="_blank">Planar Cleansing</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> but with the caveat of needing a legendary creature planeswalker out to cast them.</p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Konda&#039;s Banner"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Heroes&#039; Podium"></div></div>
<p><span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Konda&#039;s Banner" href="#" target="_blank">Konda&#039;s Banner</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> will make our creatures even bigger thanks to being a two-color deck with plenty of creatures that share a color. And in this deck, we should never have to worry about not having a legend to equip. While <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Heroes&#039; Podium" href="#" target="_blank">Heroes&#039; Podium</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> can provide at most a +33/+33 boost, it can also find us more legends if we have extra mana and nothing to do with it.</p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Flowering of the White Tree"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="The Ring Goes South"></div></div>
<p>While ward <span class="mana-container-container"><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-1" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span></span> doesn't look like much, it will add up when paired up with some other cards in the deck. So <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Flowering of the White Tree" href="#" target="_blank">Flowering of the White Tree</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> will become the must-kill card on the table for our opponents.</p>
<p>Lastly is <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="The Ring Goes South" href="#" target="_blank">The Ring Goes South</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>. Read this one carefully because it gets any land, not just basics. In an average scenario, this card is just as good as <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Open the Way" href="#" target="_blank">Open the Way</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, and in other cases it can be the best ramp spell ever printed. Sure, the lands might come in tapped, but that often won't matter when you get 10-15 lands onto the battlefield for <span class="mana-container-container"><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-3" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span></span><span class="mana-container-container"><span class="mana-container"><i class="ms ms-cost ms-g" style="margin-left: inherit !important;"></i></span></span>.</p>
<h2>How Does This Serah Farron Deck Win?</h2>
<p>This deck wins by turning big creatures sideways and reducing our opponent's life totals to zero. Our creatures should be larger than our opponents and a bit "stickier" since they're legends with significant effects. The goal is to cast creatures constantly and gain value off cards like <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Guardian Project" href="#" target="_blank">Guardian Project</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Day of Destiny" href="#" target="_blank">Day of Destiny</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>, and <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="The Great Henge" href="#" target="_blank">The Great Henge</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>.</p>
<p>While the deck includes nothing that qualifies as a "Plan B," we won't often need one. We also have a subtle Stax theme to the deck with creatures like:</p>
<div class="edhrecp__cards"><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Kutzil, Malamet Exemplar"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Thalia, Heretic Cathar"></div><div class="edhrecp__card-container" name="Yasharn, Implacable Earth"></div></div>
<p>Flying under the radar with a simple plan and then slamming the door in our opponents' faces is genuinely the name of the game with <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Serah Farron" href="#" target="_blank">Serah Farron</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span>. I do wish that this card could do a little bit more. Maybe if there were a way to prevent the legend rule from being applied, we could try to find copy synergies? Or if the card has a different effect on the backside to get some extra value from flipping it over?</p>
<p>That's not to say that this deck won't be fun; it might not be my cup of tea, but not everything is. If you like playing Selesnya or turning big creatures sideways, you would probably sleeve up this deck for a Commander night. <span style="box-sizing: border-box; margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">Since <span class="edhrecp__link"><a class="edhrecp__link-a" content="Serah Farron" href="#" target="_blank">Serah Farron</a><span class="edhrecp__link-image"></span></span> comes from a Universes Beyond product, you might also want to play this deck if you're a fan of <em>Final Fantasy XIII.</em></span></p>
<p>Serah will probably be found in the 99 of far more decks than in the command zone, but there's something clean and straightforward about a commander whose purpose is to help you cast creatures, make them bigger, and then win the game.</p>

<h2>Fin</h2>
<p>While I may not have ever Finaled a Fantasy, that doesn't mean I won't be consuming content for this upcoming release. What's your favorite legend printed in this set? What character did you want them to add who didn't make the cut? Let me know.</p>
<p>Make sure to check out all the other content related to all the <a href="https://edhrec.com/sets/fin">cards from <em>Final Fantasy</em></a> at EDHREC. I have and always will be nicnax96, and thank you for joining me and this last saved checkpoint for another <em>Tech the Deck</em>.</p>
