Vaan, Street Thief

Description

The 2025 Magic: The Gathering Final Fantasy set brings beloved characters into the strategic world of the trading card game, with Vaan, Street Thief (card number 168) standing out as a compelling addition. Illustrated by Jake Murray, this Rare foil card represents the Human Scout subtype and commands a mana cost of {2}{R} with a mana value of 3. As a Legendary Creature, Vaan offers unique tactical opportunities for players building decks centered around specific creature types. The card’s abilities focus on synergy with Scouts, Pirates, and Rogues. When these creatures deal combat damage to a player, the top card of that player’s library is exiled. The controller may then cast the exiled card for free, or choose to create a Treasure token instead, providing flexible resource generation. Additionally, casting spells that do not belong to the controller triggers a +1/+1 counter on each of their controlled Scouts, Pirates, and Rogues, enhancing the board presence of these tribal allies. For collectors, the foil finish adds visual appeal to this crossover product, making it a desirable piece for those who appreciate both Magic: The Gathering mechanics and Final Fantasy IP. The card’s design and mechanics reflect the intersection of two major gaming franchises, appealing to fans of both worlds. Whether you are looking to complete your Final Fantasy set collection or add a thematic creature to your Magic: The Gathering decks, this card offers both aesthetic and functional value. The combination of Jake Murray’s art and the card’s unique abilities makes Vaan, Street Thief a notable entry in the 2025 release.
