What makes this version particularly special is that one variant features artwork by the legendary Yoshitaka Amano himself, the artist responsible for designing many iconic Final Fantasy characters throughout the series. Amano’s distinctive artistic style, influenced by various techniques, makes this version of Traxos an absolute must-have for collectors.
The Giant of Babil is a perfect representation of its Final Fantasy IV origins, where it served as both a massive machine of destruction and an actual dungeon in the game. Created by Zemus and radical Lunarians to destroy humanity, it was ultimately sealed away in the Lunar Subterrane by other Lunarians who rejected its destructive purpose.
This card will be particularly appealing to collectors and artifact deck players who already run Traxos and want to add a special aesthetic touch to their decks.
The Final Fantasy and Magic: The Gathering collaboration brings together sixteen mainline games worth of unforgettable characters, items, and moments from the beloved RPG series. Players can expect to cast powerful spells, summon classic creatures, and visit favorite locations from the franchise, all brought to life through the mechanics of Magic: The Gathering.
