🧙 FINAL FANTASY x Magic: The Gathering Prerelease Weekend – A Legendary Crossover at Event Horizon Hobbies
Three days. Dozens of players. Limitless nostalgia.
Our FINAL FANTASY x Magic: The Gathering prerelease weekend (June 6–8) was nothing short of epic. For longtime fans of the iconic RPG series, this crossover brought beloved characters, legendary summons, chocobo-powered adventures, and unforgettable moments to life — in card form.
And at Event Horizon, we didn’t just host it — we turned it into a full-blown celebration of everything FINAL FANTASY.
🎮 When Magic Met Midgar, Eorzea, and Beyond
From Cloud and Terra to Yuna, Noctis, and Clive, each sealed deck was a time machine through sixteen unforgettable worlds. Players summoned legendary Espers, cast iconic spells, and clashed in matches full of crit hits and clutch topdecks.
One of the biggest highlights?
📸 A 1-of-1 Hero Photo Token Printer straight from Wizards of the Coast — allowing players to become their own in-game token.
Strike a pose, print your card, and drop yourself onto the battlefield like a true Warrior of Light.
🎨 Community Creativity: Art, Bubble Tea, and Materia Vibes
Local artist Mary brought the magic with immersive custom builds and fan-favorite details:
-
A handmade Buster Sword from Final Fantasy VII
-
A towering Cactuar from Final Fantasy VIII
-
Decor inspired by Aerith’s flower cart — complete with lilies and glowing materia
-
Tables named after the iconic Games from FF1-FF16
And for refreshments?
🧋 Themed bubble teas worthy of a Wutai café menu:
-
Phoenix Down (reviving fruit burst)
-
Hi-Potion (healing mint-citrus)
-
Moogle Elixir (sweet and cozy — kupo!)
Paired with game soundtracks echoing through the room, every match felt like stepping into a new chapter of the saga.
🃏 Promos, Prizes & Limit Break Moments
Each event came loaded with loot worthy of a treasure chest:
-
🔷 Crystal Counter d10 Spindowns – free for all registered players

🎒 Velvet Dice Pouches – for those who participated in multiple events
