Ultimecia, Time Sorceress // Ultimecia, Omnipotent

Description

The 2025 Magic: The Gathering Final Fantasy release brings a powerful dual-faced legend to the battlefield with Ultimecia, Time Sorceress // Ultimecia, Omnipotent. Numbered 247 in the set, this uncommon foil card captures the essence of the iconic Final Fantasy antagonist through a transformative mechanic that rewards strategic graveyard management. Designed by artist Mikio Masuda, the card serves as a centerpiece for collectors looking to complete their Final Fantasy subset while adding a versatile commander to their Magic: The Gathering library. As a Legendary Creature — Human Warlock, this card enters the game with a mana cost of {3}{U}{B} and boasts a formidable 4/5 power and toughness. The initial face, Ultimecia, Time Sorceress, provides consistent card advantage through its surveil ability. Whenever she enters the battlefield or attacks, you examine the top two cards of your library, allowing you to send any number of them to the graveyard while keeping the rest on top in your preferred order. This mechanism is crucial for fueling the card's ultimate transformation. The second face, Ultimecia, Omnipotent, unlocks at the beginning of your end step if you pay {4}{U}{U}{B}{B} and exile eight cards from your graveyard. This dramatic transformation reflects the character's narrative arc and offers a potent finisher for decks built around graveyard recursion and resource denial. The foil treatment adds a premium aesthetic to this collectible, making it a standout piece for both competitive players and thematic collectors. Whether you are building a Commander deck around the Warlock archetype or simply seeking to acquire every card in the Final Fantasy expansion, this transformative card offers significant strategic depth and visual appeal. The combination of Mikio Masuda's artistry and the card's complex mechanics makes it a highly sought-after addition to any Magic: The Gathering collection.
