Ardyn, the Usurper arrives as card number 89 in the 2025 Magic: The Gathering Final Fantasy set. Designed by Russell Lu, this Rare foil Legendary Creature — Elder Human Noble commands a mana cost of five generic and three black mana, resulting in a mana value of eight. The card’s abilities focus on enhancing demonic strategies and graveyard manipulation. It grants menace, lifelink, and haste to all Demons you control, making it a powerful support piece for decks built around that creature type. Additionally, its Starscourge ability allows you to exile a target creature card from a graveyard at the beginning of combat. If successful, this effect creates a token copy of that card, with the token specifically being a 5/5 black Demon. This mechanic provides a unique way to recur threats and apply pressure late in the game. The foil treatment adds a distinct visual appeal to the card, distinguishing it from nonfoil versions within the set. For those building a collection of Magic: The Gathering crossover products, Ardyn, the Usurper represents a key component of the Final Fantasy subset. The card’s design and mechanics cater to both competitive players seeking powerful demonic synergies and hobbyists who appreciate the artistic and thematic elements of the crossover era. Whether you are focusing on completing the set or targeting specific high-value rares, this card remains a notable entry in the 2025 release.
