Final Fantasy MTG Print Money Machine… Is Spider-Man Next？ - Error Code Show

0:00 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

1:33 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.

2:15 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?

2:56 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

4:27 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?

5:24 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.

6:38 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.

7:35 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.
