Once Sephiroth flips, which is easy to achieve with an Accursed Marauder or any kind of Grave Pact effect, the Blood Artist effect becomes permanent, and you get access to a terrifying 5/5 Flier that can draw you several cards a turn
Also Black Market is an excellent proliferate target here since we can dump all that mana into hatching our incubate tokens
Artists were selected on their capacity to deliver on one or all of the four parameters I set for the sets visual direction: Epic (scale and scope), Legendary (attention to lore), Storytelling (attention to characters and their relationships), Pastoral (what our heroes are fighting to protect)
Whenever one or more players sacrifice one or more creatures, you create a tapped Treasure token
Other new mechanics specific to this set, Tiered spells and Job Select, are also fun and well represent Final Fantasy, but from a Magic perspective, they are similar to previous existing mechanics
