The Tapis Tifa Martial Artist Final Fantasy by Ultra Pro celebrates one of the most beloved figures in Final Fantasy VII: Tifa Lockhart, the martial artist of AVALANCHE. On this large playing surface, the heroine stands with fists clenched, ready to strike, in a cinematic illustration by Yumi Yaoshida. The playmat is part of the official line dedicated to the Magic: The Gathering — Final Fantasy set, born from the collaboration between Wizards of the Coast and Square Enix.
🥋 Tifa Lockhart, the fighter of AVALANCHE
Tifa is no spell-slinging mage who attacks from a distance: she is a hand-to-hand combatant, fearsome with her bare fists, who defends Midgar alongside Cloud. The illustration captures that raw energy, balancing determination and grace, with the warm palette and bold contrasts typical of the Final Fantasy VII universe. Laid out on the table, it turns an ordinary game session into a visual tribute to a character who became iconic for a whole generation of players.
🧵 A playmat built to play on
Beyond the image, this playmat is a genuine gaming accessory. Its surface measures roughly 61 × 34 cm (24 × 13.5 inches), a standard format that comfortably holds your battlefield, graveyard, exile and draw zone. The smooth fabric top lets cards glide without catching, which makes attacks, blocks and reading the board effortless. Underneath, the non-slip rubber base anchors the mat to the table: no more board shifting at the worst moment of a tense game. It rolls out flat instantly and stores away by rolling up, ready to follow you to the shop or to a tournament.
🛡️ Protecting your cards and your table
A playmat is, above all, a layer of protection. The soft surface prevents micro-scratches on the backs of your cards as you slide them, and cushions repeated draws. It also shields the wood or glass of your table from friction and scuffs. For players who invest in valuable Magic cards, it is a simple, long-lasting safeguard. And because the material feels pleasant to the touch, the mat also makes an excellent oversize mousepad for a desk, at home or at the office.
🎴 For players and Final Fantasy fans alike
This playmat speaks to two audiences. For players, it is the ideal tool to enjoy Commander or Standard games in great conditions, protect your deck and proudly fly your colours at the table. For collectors and Final Fantasy fans, it is a true display piece bearing the likeness of Tifa: spread on a shelf, hung on a wall or shown off on a desk, it extends the Final Fantasy VII universe beyond the screen. It naturally accompanies your openings of the Magic Final Fantasy display and rounds out a collection already rich with cards from the set.
