Fortified Village

Description

Fortified Village is a dual-color Land card featured in the 2025 Magic: The Gathering Final Fantasy Commander subset, designated as card number 396 in the FIC set code. This release is part of a broader crossover that blends the strategic depth of Magic with the iconic world of Final Fantasy, appealing to fans of both franchises who appreciate the intersection of gaming history and collectible card design. The foil treatment adds a distinct visual layer to the card, setting it apart from the nonfoil base versions within the same Commander subset. Collectors often seek out the foil variant for its enhanced aesthetic appeal and its status as a Rare rarity within the set. The card's identity is firmly rooted in its gameplay function as a mana source, allowing players to produce either green or white mana when tapped. Its entry mechanic offers strategic flexibility, allowing you to reveal a Forest or Plains from your hand to enter untapped, or settle for a tapped entry if no basic lands are available. For collectors, the Final Fantasy Commander subset represents a unique moment in Magic's history, honoring the legacy of the JRPG series through carefully crafted card designs and references. The inclusion of Fortified Village, a nod to the tactical battles of Final Fantasy VII, provides a tangible connection to that narrative. As you build your collection, this card serves as a notable piece for those interested in the crossover themes and the specific Commander subset's contribution to the game's lore. The foil finish ensures it stands out in any binder or display, making it a valuable addition for enthusiasts of Magic: The Gathering and Final Fantasy alike.
