Maester Seymour

Description

Maester Seymour, card number 68 in the 2025 Final Fantasy Commander subset, brings a distinct blend of strategy and nostalgia to the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Crafted by artist Norikatsu Miyoshi, this foil rare captures the essence of the beloved character while offering unique gameplay potential for commanders and deck builders. As a legendary Human Elf Cleric, Maester Seymour operates with a mana cost of {2}{G} and possesses a power and toughness of 1/3. Despite a modest starting stat line, the card’s true strength lies in its dynamic abilities. At the beginning of combat on your turn, you can place a number of +1/+1 counters equal to Maester Seymour’s power onto another target creature you control. This effect allows for flexible board development, enabling you to bolster key allies or prepare for combat phases. The card also features a powerful monstrosity ability. By paying {3}{G}{G}, you can choose a value X equal to the number of counters among creatures you control. If Maester Seymour is not monstrous, you place X +1/+1 counters on it and it becomes monstrous, transforming it into a significant threat. This mechanic rewards players who build around counter synergy, making it a compelling addition to green-based decks. Collectors of the Final Fantasy series often seek out Maester Seymour for both its thematic design and its functional role in the Commander format. The foil finish adds a premium aesthetic appeal, making it a standout piece for any Magic: The Gathering collection. Whether you are aiming to complete the set or looking for a versatile commander, this card offers both artistic and mechanical value.
