Magic the Gathering Magic Spotlight Final Fantasy Event Announced

Wizards of the Coast will bring the Magic Spotlight event to Japan in order to celebrate the Magic the Gathering Final Fantasy set of cards. The free-to-enter event will take place in Chiba, Japan, with people able to enter while there is space between June 27–29, 2025. This will happen the same month the crossover debuts. Registration begins on the official site at 8pm PT/11pm ET on April 16, 2025, which is 12pm JST on April 17, 2025, on a site that opens on April 15, 2025.  While details are still slim, Wizards of the Coast did confirm the Magic Spotlight: Final Fantasy event will include a two-day tournament that costs money to enter, a type of card as a prize, and “side events.” In the case of the match-up, the prize pool consists of $50,000. Everyone who pays to enter gets a “non-foil Japanese-language borderless promo card” of one of the Final Fantasy cards from the new set. Those in the top 128 each get one traditional foil version of that card. The top eight winners will be able to take part in Pro Tour Edge of Eternities. That will be held between September 26-28, 2025, with people needing to head to MagicCon in Atlanta, Georgia to compete. As a reminder, this is one of many crossovers for Magic the Gathering. One involved Assassin’s Creed. Another featured Doctor Who. Lord of the Rings showed up too. Hatsune Miku and SpongeBob appeared on cards as well.  The Magic the Gathering Final Fantasy set will launch on June 13, 2025, and pre-orders are open.  The post Magic the Gathering Magic Spotlight Final Fantasy Event Announced appeared first on Siliconera.
