Black Mage's Rod

Description

The Black Mage's Rod (Card Number 90) from the 2025 Magic: The Gathering Final Fantasy set stands as a distinctive artifact equipment for fans of the iconic video game series. Featuring a premium foil finish, this common rarity card offers a unique mechanical twist that resonates with collectors and players alike. Designed by Nino Is, the card integrates seamlessly into the Final Fantasy-themed expansion, bridging the gap between fantasy role-playing lore and strategic card gameplay. Upon entering the battlefield, it initiates a Job Select effect, creating a 1/1 colorless Hero creature token and attaching itself to that unit. This interaction not only expands board presence but also sets up a powerful synergy for subsequent turns. The equipped creature gains a +1/+0 power boost and acquires a unique triggered ability: whenever a noncreature spell is cast, the creature deals 1 damage to each opponent. Additionally, the creature gains the Wizard type, opening doors for various tribal and spell-based strategies. For investors and hobbyists, this card represents a tangible piece of the crossover between Magic: The Gathering and Square Enix’s legendary franchise. The foil treatment adds a layer of visual appeal, making it a desirable addition to any set completionist’s collection. Whether you are building a deck centered around Hero tokens or simply seeking to complete your Final Fantasy binder, this artifact equipment offers both strategic depth and aesthetic value. Its low mana cost of {1}{B} ensures accessibility, while its unique rules text provides endless possibilities for creative play.
