You’ve got your MTG Final Fantasy cards, they’re all sleeved up, and you’ve even got yourself some fancy new dice and counters for the occasion, but something is missing.
That’s right, you need one of Ultra Pro’s latest Final Fantasy playmats. Ultra Pro, perhaps best known for its sleeves, tends to release a series of playmats for Magic: The Gathering sets, and they rarely disappoint. This time around, though, you can get a great new place to play while protecting your cards for just $26.99.
As is often the case, Ultra Pro has a series of playmats inspired by the Commander decks for the set. There’s Final Fantasy 14’s Y’shtola, Night’s Blessed, Final Fantasy 7’s Cloud Strife, Tidus from Final Fantasy X, and Terra, Herald of Hope from Final Fantasy 6.
These mats will set you back $26.99, and I’m definitely tempted to snag the Cloud one as a big Final Fantasy 7 fan. If you want to spend a little more, you can also get one of three two-sided playmats, which is a nice touch as there are a fair number of double-sided cards in the Final Fantasy set.
You can take your pick of Emet Selch/Hades, Sorcerer of Eld, Clive, Ifrit’s Dominant/Ifit, Warden of Inferno, or Sephiroth, Fabled Soldier/Sephiroth, One-Winged Angel. While we expect the latter will be popular, I’m more drawn to Final Fantasy 16’s Clive Rosfield, with a striking color scheme on a white background. The two-sided mats will cost you $39.99. Which one will you go for? Let us know in the comments.
