So, Magic the Gathering Final Fantasy made Wizards
of the Coast $200 million in revenue in a single
day. Yes, you heard that number right. $200 million
in a single day. This was by far the most successful
drop that they've ever had. The prices were through
the roof and they still sold like freaking gangbusters,
right? Some of the cars were really really great
People really really seemed to obviously enjoy
the set being that they bought a metric ton of
it so Magics obviously really leading any users
beyond we've now got edge of eternity's came
out after Final Fantasy It's a normal magic set
but our next two sets that are dropping Are spider
-man and avatar the last airbender, but I specifically
want to focus on spider -man today, okay Let's
talk some spider -man Final Fantasy makes 200
million dollars in revenue in a single day. It's
a huge franchise It's been around forever But
so is spider -man so my primary question to you
Jay as we kind of look forward and then we'll
kind of talk about Avatar as well. Can the Spider
-Man set beat that number? No. No? No. It's very
simple. End of segment. No. Why do you think
that, again, I would hazard to guess that Spider
-Man is a overall larger franchise than Final
Fantasy. Yeah. You know, I'm just not going to
I'm not going to answer your question. I'm going
to take Marshawn Lynch approach and just be like,
you know why I'm here. No, I'm just kidding.
No, I think it makes sense to me. Final Fantasy.
Lots of crossover. Lots of crossover. I don't
think Spider -Man has that same crossover ability.
Like I love Spider -Man. Yes. grew up watching
the cartoons, just like Batman, just like the
Justice League. I've always been a Spider -Man
fan, but I just don't see the crossover. I don't
think they're going to have fans go crazy over
the Spider -Man cards. Prove me wrong. I mean,
it's definitely possible. Now, I will say this.
Don't know from a power set. I haven't had a
chance to completely look through the set first
off. They got some really great cards, right?
Look at some of the art here. It's beautiful,
right? Lots of different spider -man's where
spider -ham that's one. This is the one I really
love I love these like old 1960s comic art that
they're doing that So Love some of the art that
they've got going for here. I really want the
spider -ham card Right, like I desperately desperately
want spider -ham Where is he? There we go Peter
porker spider -ham Okay, tell me you don't love
that Yeah that I do like it but like Spider Gwen
look at the some of this art is just really really
good. Yeah it's it's really cool. I don't know
but to me this is almost like a like me personally
I would wait and then buy. Aftermarket? Yeah
like aftermarket the very specific cards that
I want like I wouldn't go out. Don't know I'm
looking over to our twitch chat somebody said
it's the the secondary market is higher But you
have a lot of people who wanted Final Fantasy
or don't probably plan on getting more magic
stuff again And that square enix has flubbed
giving fans merch they want and so this was the
chance for Final Fantasy fans to get some cool
merch for their Final Fantasy habit I Don't necessarily
disagree with that again the only thing that
makes me wonder is again objectively spider -man
is a bigger franchise than uh and final fantasy
um all right sticking on this topic slightly
though so then the set right after this is avatar
of the last airbender i think i already know
your answer to this question right I want to
come back to that in a second. See the look in
your face. Can that one outsell Final Fantasy?
No. Sticking with the nose. I'm sticking with
the nose because also like I don't even I feel
like. I don't know, like I feel like avatars
already out of the line. I know we have another
movie coming up. but i feel like it's already
out of out of its prime and that's that's my
cold take i don't know so so if you were to pick
a franchise oh god for ub right that magic could
make right is there any set any franchise that
you go this will outsell final fantasy Twitch
chat just put their opinion in Yeah, let me what
do you think about this? I'm Just thinking about
that. Look at these venom cars. These are cool
chat this I Love the art they're doing. I really
do. Oh, is there a carnage? Oh They didn't make
a carnage. Well, you know what? Screw you magic.
I want carnage Okay, I want carnage. How do you
have venom and no carnage? like seriously so
many peter parker cards um let's see here somebody
said dragon quest that's going that we're going
old school youtube chat thank you for that um
somebody say something about dragon flight this
weekend is dragon flight this weekend i don't
know I'm just coming on my stuff. Oh, yeah. I
have nothing really. I can't think of anything
other than Star Wars slash Star Trek. Like that's
a big enough franchise where you have crazy fans.
Oh, wait. No. You know what? No. He thought of
something. Pokemon. I just don't think it'll
ever happen because Pokemon already has a card
game. Exactly. It would never happen. But maybe
if it did because Pokemon I mean you have the
crazy you have the crazy collectors that buy
cards just to hold cards that don't ever play
the like the game that don't they're not even
Pokemon fans. They just buy the cards. So doing
a crossover with magic which I don't think would
ever happen but if it did i think that's that
star wars and star trek are like the only things
that could be final fantasy i think okay i i
had to show this one though masked meower it's
a spider cat hero it's spider cat uh didn't they
do potter no no they've never done a harry potter
um i don't know 200 million a day that's amazing
magic hey You're going to make up for all the
downslide on your D &D money because of the loss
of the Baldur's Gate royalties this year. So
congratulations, you're going to make it up.
