The Tapis Holofoil Bahamut & Ifrit Final Fantasy by Ultra Pro brings together two of the saga's most iconic summons: Ifrit, the fire Esper, and Bahamut, the dragon king. Designed for the Magic: The Gathering — Final Fantasy set (the collaboration between Wizards of the Coast and Square Enix), this playmat captures the moment Ifrit's blazing breath clashes with Bahamut's celestial might. An epic scene by artist Nino Is, brought to life by a holographic (Holofoil) print that makes the flames and scales shimmer the moment light catches the surface.
🐉 A legendary duel: Bahamut versus Ifrit
In the Final Fantasy universe, Bahamut and Ifrit rank among the series' most revered summons. Ifrit embodies the fury of fire, a horned creature bursting from the flames to strike down its foes; Bahamut, the supreme dragon, unleashes his devastating Mega Flare from the skies. Seeing them face off on a single playmat is no small thing: it is the clash of two primal forces, fire against sky, that every fan recognises in an instant. The artwork highlights their massive silhouettes and elemental auras, for a composition as spectacular in battle as it is laid out on a desk.
✨ The Holofoil finish that changes everything
What sets this model apart is its Holofoil finish: the image is printed on a shiny holographic material that throws back iridescent reflections depending on the viewing angle. Where a standard playmat stays matte, Ifrit's flames seem to ripple and Bahamut's scales take on a metallic depth. This technology (patent pending at Ultra Pro) turns a simple gaming accessory into a genuine display piece. On a tournament table or inside a cabinet, the effect draws the eye at once and gives your setup real character.
🛡️ Playing comfort and card protection
Beyond its looks, this playmat fully delivers as an accessory. Its soft fabric top gives cards a smooth glide: you place, move and pick up your cards without a snag, which reduces wear on edges and corners game after game. The non-slip rubber backing keeps the mat perfectly in place, even during lively turns, and protects both the table and your precious cards from micro-scratches. With its generous dimensions of roughly 61 × 34 cm (24 × 13.5 inches), it marks out a comfortable play zone to line up permanents, lands and the combat area during a game of Commander or Standard. It rolls out flat and packs away in an instant.
🎴 Built for Magic players
For the player, this playmat is a reliable gaming companion as much as a statement of style. It comfortably holds your sleeved cards and is the ideal partner when cracking open a Final Fantasy booster display or bringing your Final Fantasy Commander deck to the battlefield. Whether you draft with friends, fine-tune your deck or rack up games in store, it guarantees a stable, even surface. Explore the full set on the Final Fantasy expansion page to build a play universe that's consistent down to the smallest detail.
💎 The perfect piece for fans and collectors
For the collector and the Final Fantasy fan, this playmat reaches far beyond the game. It is a display object bearing two cult summons, equally at home rolled out on a desk, mounted on a wall or used as a large mouse pad for the workstation. The holographic finish makes it a living showcase that reacts to light, perfect for showing off your love of the franchise. As an officially licensed accessory, it slots seamlessly into a Final Fantasy goodies collection or a polished gaming setup. To learn more about this product, see the official Ultra Pro listing.
