Magic: The Gathering – Final Fantasy Is As Exciting For The Design Team As It Is For The Players
To say that the team behind Magic: The Gathering's upcoming Final Fantasy collaboration set is excited to launch would be an understatement.
"As we drove up to the convention center, there's this giant hotel-sized screen that says 'Magic: The Gathering – Final Fantasy on it," principal designer and set design lead Gavin Verhey said during a press preview event for the upcoming set. "We all just looked at each other and said, 'This is it, this is what we've been waiting for. It's finally happening.'"
Moments like this are what Verhey, executive producer Zakeel Gordon, principal game designer Dillon Deveney, and senior game designer Daniel Holt have dreamed of throughout the four-year history of the set's development. As the team reminisces about their time working on the expansion, both in Square Enix's offices in Japan and the Wizards of the Coast headquarters in Renton, Washington, our Zoom call lights up with smiles and laughter at the simple mention of cards like Summon: Bahamut, names like Yoshitaka Amano, and countless other references.

The Savage Raven NeoGrip for Switch 2 is an ergonomic grip that includes three interchangeable grip sizes. It features a hard, durable construction to absorb the impact of falls. It's designed so you can use the Switch 2's kickstand and dock while it's attached to the console and won't block the game card slot, vents, or buttons, but can easily slide on and off if needed.
The NeoGrip for Switch 2 is available in Black or Neon Red and Blue. Amazon also lists a bundle featuring the Maxcarry case, though it's currently sold out.

The StandGrip for Nintendo Switch 2 is a wrap-around case with soft, protective material with a textured finish to keep the Switch 2 safe and make it more comfortable to hold. As the name implies, the bottom of the case features a flat 75-degree angle so you can stand it up in tabletop mode without needing the kickstand. The top of the case has dedicated cutouts for the charging and USB ports, exhaust vents, and game card slot.
The StandGrip for Swittch 2 is available in three color options: Jet Black, Smokey Black, and Galactic Purple. You can pick it up on its own, or in a bundle with either a front cover or a carrying case.

Skull & Co.'s Slim carrying case for the Switch 2 is exactly what it sounds like: a durable zippered clamshell designed for keeping the Switch 2 safe while on the go but small enough to fit in backpacks and other bags or be carried by hand. The hard inner case is surrounded by a denim covering, and it features an adjustable hand strap. It's large enough to fit the undocked Switch 2 with the Joy-Con 2s attached, but not much else.
See at Amazon Maxcarry Case $30 (was $50)Skull & Co.'s Switch 2 Maxcarry Case is a larger alternative to the Slim Carrying Case. It features similar durable construction but offers more internal storage space for accessories or for fitting the Switch 2 with either the NeoGrip or StandGrip attachments.
