Exclusive Reveal: 5 New Cards From Magic: The Gathering's Final Fantasy Set
When Magic: The Gathering announced it was teaming up with Square Enix to release a Final Fantasy set, everyone wanted to know one thing: What will the common tapped lands be?! I'm thrilled to be able to end the agony of everyone's wondering as we approach the June 13 release date for Magic's Final Fantasy set with this first look at five cards, all of which feature the new land subtype, Town. The Final Fantasy set is a big deal, blending one of the biggest video game series together with a longtime trading card game juggernaut. It also shows Magic's greater willingness to bring other franchises into the core of its game, even more so than the Lord of the Rings set from a couple of years ago. Here's our first look at five new town cards. As a big fan of FFXIV, I'm most excited about seeing Sharlayan (which also reminds me a lot of Meletis from Magic's Theros sets). It's joined by Vector from VI, Treno from IX, Windurst from XI and Insomnia from XV. Wizards of the Coast Wizards of the Coast Wizards of the Coast Wizards of the Coast Wizards of the Coast Magic: The Gathering -- Final Fantasy comes out on June 13. Products from the standard set and commander sets are available for preorder but are selling out quickly.

ALLIANCE INSIGHT and More YU-GI-OH! News — GeekTyrant
At the beginning of the month, Konami officially launched the latest core booster set for the Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game: Alliance Insight . This set brings support for a number of beloved archetypes such as Eldlich, Evil Twin, Ryzeal, Maliss, Dragon Ruler, and even the TCG exclusive Mitsurugi that's making waves. It also brings the new Regenesis archetype although that seems to not be making any significant splash. Konami was kind enough to send me a box of the set and you can watch me open it below. As I mention in the video, there's nothing that I'm personally looking for, but that doesn't mean it's a bad set (I just play Fire Kings). There's quite a bit for a variety of duelists to enjoy even if you're just an anime fan with the new cards centered around Ancient Fairy Dragon and the Duel Spirits from Yu-Gi-Oh! 5Ds . In addition to opening up Alliance Insight, I wanted to shed some light on some upcoming Yu-Gi-Oh! products that sound cool. First, the next 60-card deck building set is Justice Hunters releasing on August 1, 2025. This brings the new trio of strategies (dragon, waifu, machine/monster) with Dracotails (Fusion-based), K9 (XYZ-based), and Yummy (Synchro-based). I guess time will tell if any of these will actually make waves. Typically one strategy from these sets tends to be really good out the gate, one tends to become good after a wave of support, and the third is just a bunch of hopes and dreams. Which do you think will reign supreme in the TCG?
