Playability wise, Im not seeing a lot going for him
There are so many examples of passive card draw, and these types of effects dominated in the First Chapter metagame because they were often a better payoff than their active cousins (and there were less active ones at the time)
Then we have Overkill, which goes the opposite route by granting the largest toughness debuff ever printed on a single Magic spell
Adding to the less confrontational feel - for better and worse, depending on your preference - is Lorcanas more cleanly separated player turns
However, with Final Fantasy we do have to keep in mind the caveat that many of these cards are going to have inflated prices in their own right, reprint or not, so simply seeing a card reprinted in FIC/FIN might not lower the price of previous printings, as we often prefer to see
Assumably, cards with the Vanish ability will synergize with those cards, making it easier for those effects to go off
