Blue's always had a reputation: manipulative, aloof, and a bit too smart for its own good. But in Magic: the Gathering's Final Fantasy set, Blue shows off a more emotional side. These cards aren't just about controlling the game, they're about echoing memories, drawing power from the past, and reshaping reality with style. With the wide variety of new abilities and mechanics like flipping coins, mimicking abilities, or sketching dinosaurs into existence, these Blue cards are bursting with personality - and Commander potential.

Here are five of my favorite Blue cards from the set (in no particular order), handpicked not just for power but for how fun, flavorful, and flexible they'll be across the Commander format.

Gogo, Master of Mimicry

Gogo doesn't just copy a spell or ability - he copies it X times. And he can copy activated or triggered abilities you control. That means he can double your Smothering Tithe triggers, copy your Planeswalker loyalty abilities (yes, really), or go wild with something like Lithoform Engine. The real trick is building a board full of powerful abilities worth imitating, and letting Gogo do what Gogo does best: steal the spotlight by pretending it wasn't yours to begin with.

Best cards for Gogo, Master of Mimicry: Training Grounds, Thousand-Year Elixir, Unstoppable Plan, and Minamo, School at Water's Edge.

Y'shtola Rhul

This cat druid is quietly one of the most powerful end-step value engines in the format. Flickering a creature at the end of your turn is already a strong play - but if it's the first end step of the turn, you get another whole turn tacked on. If that sounds abusable, it's because it is. With cards like Deadeye Navigator, Displacer Kitten, or Conjurer's Closet, Y'shtola can loop into extra turns, ETB abuse, or both. Fair? Maybe. Fun? Extremely.

Best cards for Y'shtola Rhul: Thassa, Deep-Dwelling, Aether Channeler, Agent of Treachery, and Virtue of Knowledge.

Relm's Sketching

This might be the most slept-on uncommon in the entire set. Copy any artifact, creature, or land for 4 mana? That's a better Clone than Clone. You can grab an opponent's Darksteel Forge or Blightsteel Colossus, or just copy your own Cabal Coffers or Dockside Extortionist. It's flexible, splashable, and absurd in decks like Yarok, the Desecrated, Brudiclad, Telchor Engineer, or any Simic brew that likes to duplicate permanents for value. Keep an eye out because Relm's sketches tend to come to life.

Best cards for Relm's Sketching: Mystical Tutor, Sublime Epiphany, Irenicus's Vile Duplication, and Rite of Replication.

Edgar, King of Figaro

Coin flip tribal is officially supported now. Edgar brings a card draw ETB for each artifact you control (which rewards go-wide decks), but the spice is in that Two-Headed Coin clause. For the first flip each turn, you just... win. Add in Krark's Thumb and a bunch of Izzet coin flip cards like Okaun, Eye of Chaos, and Zndrsplt, Eye of Wisdom and you're in business. Edgar's not just a lucky pretty boy - he's a genuine artifact support piece that could helm a new archetype or sneak into Prosper, Tome-Bound, Glacian, Powerstone Engineer, or Breya, Etherium Shaper decks.

Best cards for Edgar, King of Figaro: The Water Crystal, Yusri, Fortune's Flame, Stitch in Time, Tavern Scoundrel, and Squee's Revenge.

Louisoix's Sacrifice

I love modal counterspells, and this one is heartbreaking and efficient. For just one Blue mana, you can counter a noncreature spell, a triggered ability, or an activated ability as long as you pay 2 or sack a legendary creature. In Commander, where legendary creatures are abundant and recursion is everywhere, that's a small price to pay. This spell can ruin someone's combo, deny an on-cast trigger like Eldrazi Titans, or stop a key fetch ability. It's flexible disruption disguised as a story beat. That's the good stuff.

Best cards for Louisoix's Sacrifice: Rograkh, Son of Rohgahh, Lyse Hext, Krile Baldesion, and Yuriko, the Tiger's Shadow.

A Memory of Magic and Myth

This Final Fantasy drop didn't just give us iconic characters - it gave us a rich mix of mechanics that blend nostalgia with fresh Commander utility. Blue really got to flex its range here. From clever counterspells to coin-flipping monarchs, this color got love in places we don't usually see. And the best part? These cards aren't just gimmicks - they're playable, powerful, and flexible in actual Commander games.

So many great cards came out from Magic: The Gathering - Final Fantasy and we've only touched on the mono-color good stuff. The hits just keep on coming for all types of Commander players!
