The most famous death scene in theFinal Fantasyfranchise is being given its ownMagic: The Gatheringcrossover, allowing players the chance to destroy every flower girl in the multiverse.
The Final Fantasy x Magic: The Gathering crossover setadapts many mechanicsfrom the video games into tabletop form, such as turning the Summon monsters into Saga cards. The crossover will also adapt various story moments, such as Zodiark’s effect requiring all players to sacrifice half their board, referencing the backstory ofFinal Fantasy 14.

The Cid cards in the Final Fantasy x Magic: The Gathering crossover set have a special trait that lets you use as many copies of them as you want.
A new spoiler for the upcoming Final Fantasy set has been posted to theMagicTCG Redditpage. The card is called Sephiroth’s Intervention, and for the cost of four mana (one black and three of any color), it can destroy a creature and give its owner two life. The image shows Sephiroth descendingwith his Masamune bladein hand, referencing a certain scene inFinal Fantasy VII.
Sephiroth Slaying Aerith Is A Magic: The Gathering Card
Sephiroth’s Intervention clearly references themoment he killed Aerithin Final Fantasy VII. In fact, the Aerith Gainsborough card also references this, as she gains +1/+1 counter every time the player gains life, and these can be distributed to Legendary Creatures when she’s destroyed.
This isn’t the first time that this scene has beenreferenced in crossovers, as the move is part of Sephiroth’s arsenal in the Dissidia series, as well as in his appearance in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
It’s just funny to think that one of the most tragic deaths in the history of gaming is now something that can be done with impunity in Magic: The Gathering. Then again, the effectisn’t that powerfulfor the cost, so budding Planeswalkers with limited deck space might want to pack some cheaper creature removal than Sephiroth.
