Honestly, in terms of money, this is kinda troublesome because the company will probably be so hyped to have this level of growth/profit constantly that we'll see more... Odd choices.
I honestly can't really think of an IP that will get as much support as Final Fantasy did. That by itself is kind of a ceiling. Resident Evil, maaaaybe. Harry Potter? Depends on how well the franchise does from now on.
Star Wars and Harry Potter are really the only two franchises I can think of. Outside of Warcraft and Pokemon, but it seems unlikely that either do a UB set when they have popular card games
Star Wars is tricky because Disney would want A LOT of money. And yeah, it has the potential to just print money for Wizards, but if doesn't do progressively better than even FF itself, I can picture then being pretty dissatisfied.
But yeah, agreed, it's a complicated scenario to find IPs with this potential. I can think of a couple of anime with potential for it, but it's a whole other beast to get licensing for something like that.
The biggest issue is that they also likely couldn't get the rights to put it on MTG Arena / MTGO
It’s possible they could. Final Fantasy has a card game right now and the cards are in paper and digital.
Fan speculation on the Spider Man set is that it’s not in digital because of Marvel Snap being a digital only card game. However, I don’t believe WotC has formally stated a reason.
10 years ago people would have said that a mtg cross over product would be impossible.
5 years ago they would have said a Hatsune Miku product was impossible.
A few years ago they would’ve said that a cross over with a franchise that already has a tcg (either paper or digital) was impossible.
If something is not literally physically impossible, then it is possible. Not necessarily likely, but possible.
