Cid, Timeless Artificer

Description

Cid, Timeless Artificer (#407) is a foil legendary creature card from the 2025 Magic: The Gathering Final Fantasy set, designed as a powerful four-mana Human Artificer. Created by artist Gal Or, this card stands out in the growing Final Fantasy crossover collection for its distinct mechanical identity. As a dual-colored White and Blue card, it offers strategic flexibility for players building decks centered around artifact creatures and hero synergies. The card’s rules text provides a significant offensive boost to your board state. Artifact creatures and Heroes you control receive a +1/+1 counter for every Artificer you control and for every Artificer card residing in your graveyard. This effect scales effectively with the deck, rewarding players who build around the Artificer archetype or utilize graveyard recursion strategies. Additionally, the card features a Cycling ability costing {W}{U}, allowing you to discard it to draw a new card, providing valuable card advantage and deck manipulation. One of the most notable features of Cid, Timeless Artificer is its unique construction rule: a deck can include any number of copies of this single card, rather than the standard limit of four. This flexibility makes it a highly sought-after addition for collectors and players alike, offering both thematic appeal from the Final Fantasy universe and practical utility in gameplay. The foil finish enhances its visual appeal, making it a desirable piece for those looking to complete the set or build competitive artifact-focused decks. Whether you are a long-time Magic: The Gathering player or new to the crossover sets, Cid, Timeless Artificer represents a key intersection of nostalgia and strategic depth. Its ability to empower your entire board while providing card draw options makes it a versatile tool in any artificer-themed strategy. Collectors value this card not only for its gameplay potential but also for its representation of the beloved Final Fantasy character within the Magic: The Gathering framework.
