Summary

  • Magic: The Gathering's Torgal promo card has caught some backlash from the community.
  • People aren't fans of the weird framing and blank background.
  • Hopefully Torgal gets a proper card in the full Final Fantasy set too.

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Magic: The Gathering𓆉 has revealed its latest Final Fantasy-themed card, with Torgal, Clive's Companion, and the art for it is raising more than a few eyebrows.

Final Fantasy 16's Torgal is getting an exclusiv𒀰e promo card for the upcoming MagicCon Las Vegas convention, and 𒆙while the card itself is a great one many people will want to use, the art is leaving a lot to be desired.

The isn't a card in the upcoming Final Fantasy set, but is instead a skinned reprint of the Kamig🔯awa card Yoshimaru, Ever Faithful. Like other skinned cards, this is mechanically considered Yoshimaru despite the different name, mea🥃ning you can only play up to four copies of either card in your deck (or just one in Commander).

Torgal Deserves Better

Torgal, Clive's Companion

Yoshimaru isn't the problem, though - in fact, this is a much-needed reprint of an excellent legends-matter commander. Instead, it's the art that has received a large amount of criticism. The problem isn't so much Torgal itself, which is simply pre-existing concept art for FF16 by artist Kazuya Takahashi. Instead, it is the backgཧround that is receiving the most flak, with the flat grey being described by many as "lazy".

The /r/MagicTCG subreddit is awash of people complaining about the card, such as /u/amisia-insomnia a "low-quality proxy", while "horrible art. Poor Torgal". It's w🙈ho says it best, though, saying "there are so many things wrong with this art" before pointing out inconsistent brushwork inherent to concept art and poor framing as also contributing to the problem.

More Blank Backgrounds Are On The Way

Unfortunately, this criticism will likely extend to the regular Final Fantasy set as well, as this is a style we'll also be seeing in it. The Through the Ages bonus sheet includes older Final Fantasy concept art on skinned cards against similarly blank backgrounds, as we've already seen with Yuffie Kisaragi, a reprint of 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow.

Personally, I think the framing of Torgal is more the problem than the backdrop. Compared to Yuffie's filling of her whole card, Torgal looks tiny, with most of his body covered up by the card text. Moving him up the card and increasing his size would 🍸have looked a lot better, but, sadly, due to the time it takes for cards to be printed, it is unlikely there's any time left for this to change.

Torgal fans shouldn't worry, though, as we'll more than likely see more cards with him with more dynamic art in the full Final Fantasy set when 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:previews for it begin on May 10, ahead of its launch on June 13.#
