Aerith Gainsborough

Description

The Magic: The Gathering Final Fantasy set, released in 2025, brings beloved characters from the iconic video game franchise into the popular trading card game. This release includes the Aerith Gainsborough card, numbered 4, which serves as a key piece for collectors interested in the intersection of gaming history and tabletop strategy. The card is produced as a Rare foil variant, offering a visually striking finish that appeals to those who value aesthetics alongside gameplay utility. Aerith Gainsborough is depicted as a Legendary Creature — Human Cleric with a mana cost of {2}{W} and a power/toughness of 2/2. The card's mechanics revolve around life gain and life total management. Specifically, it features Lifelink, allowing you to gain life equal to damage dealt by it. Additionally, whenever you gain life, you can put a +1/+1 counter on this creature. When this creature leaves the battlefield, it triggers an effect that places a number of +1/+1 counters on each legendary creature you control, equal to the number of counters it had on it. This synergy makes it an interesting addition to decks focused on life gain and legendary creature strategies. The foil treatment adds a layer of collectibility, distinguishing it from non-foil versions. The artwork is by Nakamura8, contributing to the set's overall visual identity. For collectors of Magic: The Gathering, this card represents a tangible connection to the Final Fantasy universe. It is a sought-after item for those looking to complete the set or build thematic decks. The combination of a popular character, unique mechanics, and foil finish makes this a standout product in the 2025 release.
