Stroke of Midnight

Description

The 2025 Magic: The Gathering Final Fantasy: Through the Ages set brings the beloved video game franchise into the TCG with card number 26, Stroke of Midnight. This Uncommon Instant, identified by the FCA set code, carries a mana cost of {2}{W} and a mana value of 3. As a white mana card, it provides a strategic option for players looking to control the board state with a specific thematic flair. Stroke of Midnight functions as a targeted removal spell. When cast, it destroys a target nonland permanent on the battlefield. Instead of simply removing the threat, the card offers a unique value proposition: the controller of the destroyed permanent must create a 1/1 white Human creature token. This mechanic allows the caster to deny their opponent resources while simultaneously generating a small body for their own army. It is a clever design that rewards interaction rather than just elimination. For collectors of trading card game memorabilia, this foil version of Stroke of Midnight adds visual appeal to any collection. The foil treatment enhances the card's presence, making it a standout piece in binders or display cases. Whether you are building a Final Fantasy-themed deck or simply appreciate the crossover of gaming lore into Magic, this card represents a fun and functional piece of the 2025 release. The Square Enix branding on the set ensures authenticity and ties the card directly to its source material, appealing to fans of both Magic and the Final Fantasy series alike.
