Cloud, Ex-SOLDIER

Description

Collectors of crossover trading card games will appreciate the 2025 Magic: The Gathering Final Fantasy Commander subset, specifically card number 168, Cloud, Ex-SOLDIER. This foil Mythic Rare card bridges the gap between high-fantasy mechanics and beloved video game narrative, offering a distinct play experience for enthusiasts of both worlds. The card is designed as a Legendary Creature with the Human, Soldier, and Mercenary subtypes, requiring a mana cost of five mana distributed across Red, Green, and White colors. The strategic value of this card lies in its immediate impact upon entering the battlefield. Upon deployment, it can attach up to one target Equipment you control directly to itself, allowing for instant synergy with existing artifacts on the board. This feature makes it an attractive option for commanders focused on artifact acceleration and combat efficiency. As the battle progresses, the card generates card advantage through its attack trigger. Whenever this creature attacks, it draws a card for each equipped attacking creature you control. This scaling ability rewards players for building robust equipment strategies, turning a single attacker into a powerful draw engine. Furthermore, if the card reaches a power of seven or greater during combat, it creates two Treasure tokens. These tokens provide additional mana of any color, further fueling aggressive combos or enabling the casting of higher-cost spells in the same turn. The artist Justyna Dura brings this character to life within the set's visual framework. The foil treatment adds a layer of visual appeal, making it a standout addition to any Final Fantasy-themed collection or Commander deck library.
