We were sent a ready-to-go Commander deck, a Bundle, a starter kit with two pre-built decks, and a handful of booster packs, including 14-card Play Boosters and 15-card Collector Boosters, all bearing characters, equipment, and locations from the incredibly popular video game series, Final Fantasy
Alternate use mechanics like cycling, adventure or evoke go further than guaranteed value triggers: they remove the deck-building risk, assuring you that your seven-mana Beanstalk Giant will never be stuck dead in hand
The biggest downside of the deck is the heavy reliance on your commander
Much like beach babe Tidus is the underexpected hero of Spira in FF10, Steven is my hero of MTG
