A Magic: The Gathering card based on Final Fantasy XIV has rapidly become the game’s most popular Commander card, according to the article. The result highlights the commercial and community impact of Magic’s Final Fantasy crossover, particularly the appeal of well-known characters from the long-running online role-playing game.

The card is Y’shtola, a cat-like character and maternal figure in Final Fantasy XIV, whom the article jokingly describes as a “mommy cat lady”. Her popularity has pushed her ahead of Magic’s previous leading Commander choice, suggesting that crossover recognition can quickly influence which cards players build decks around.
