Sage's Nouliths

Description

Released in 2025 as part of the Magic: The Gathering Final Fantasy set, Sage's Nouliths (card number 70) is a Common Equipment artifact designed for the Blue mana color. This card brings distinct thematic elements from the Final Fantasy universe into the TCG, offering collectors a piece of crossover history. The card features artwork by Justyna Dura and utilizes the standard Normal layout typical of the set. Gameplay-wise, Sage's Nouliths is an Equipment with a mana cost of {1}{U} and a mana value of 2. Its primary identity is defined by the Job Select ability, which activates when the Equipment enters the battlefield. Upon entering, it creates a 1/1 colorless Hero creature token and immediately attaches itself to that token. This provides immediate board presence and ensures the equipment has a target to enhance. Once equipped, the creature receives a +1/+0 power boost and gains two additional abilities. First, it becomes a Cleric in addition to its other types. Second, whenever the equipped creature attacks, it untaps a target attacking creature. This ability allows for complex attack patterns and can help preserve other attacking assets. The card also includes the Hagneia keyword with an Equip cost of {3}, allowing players to attach it to other eligible creatures later in the game. This flexibility makes Sage's Nouliths a strategic tool for decks focusing on creature aggregation and repeated combat triggers. For collectors, the Final Fantasy set represents a significant milestone in Magic: The Gathering history, bridging two major gaming franchises. Sage's Nouliths stands out as a functional and thematic inclusion, appealing to fans of both the TCG and the RPG series. Its design and mechanics reflect the intricate job system found in the source material, providing a tangible connection to the beloved franchise.
