Magic’s Yuna card became a mythic rare because FF10 wasn't represented, designer says

Magic designer Gavin Verhey said Yuna, Hope of Spira was upgraded to mythic rare late in development.

The team realized Final Fantasy 10 had no mythic rare cards, so Yuna was promoted to better represent the game.

Her abilities were built around Final Fantasy 10’s summoning and death themes, tying the card closely to the source material.

The reveal highlights how rarity and card design were shaped by franchise representation in the crossover set.
