These shaped the game so much that the upcoming Brothers' War set will retell the events of Antiquities
You see, back in 1997-1999, Wizards thought an easy on-ramp to get brand-new players into the game was the Portal seriesa simplified version of Magic with no artifacts, enchantments, activated abilities, or instants

Youre getting what is shaping up to be a fantastic celebration of the franchise either way, with clever cards that will call back to specific moments in the 16 games, or ideas and themes that have existed across the whole franchise for the best part of the last four decades, and draw a host of legendary artists to craft new visions of iconic creatures, heroes, villains, spells, locations, and more from Final Fantasy s long history

Therefore, it is protected from everything save countermagic and discard
