Part of the planeswalkers being hardier than dorks is a trade off for all of them being far slower to actually finish a game outright rather than obtaining a concession
The MTG team described playing the games themselves (especially if they hadnt played that particular entry), then creating three categories for the Final Fantasy elements, from the need to haves (category 1) to that would be nice, but we probably wont have room (category 3) and discussing with Square Enix even at this conceptual phase as well as consistently showing them specific cards and getting feedback
Fabricate was reprinted with art showing Belisarius Cawl (who's also got his own card), Archmagos Dominus of the Adeptus Mechanicus as a promo card for the crossover and was only available from stores around the time of launch
And then, because we don't want our really cool, awesome commander to die, we're gonna run a bunch of stuff to keep Ragnarok safe: Tamiyo's SafekeepingTamiyo's Safekeeping kinda stuff that'll grant indestructible
On the front, Ive seen cards with a print that shows patterns on them, like little squares, while the original ones have clear paint on them, and the patterns are missing
Like Dice and bags, etc
