Wait. It's "Neon" Dynasty? All this time, I thought it was "Neo" Dynasty to go with the cyberpunk theme. :psyduck:

gently caress it. Bring on the pink samurai and fuchsia ninjas.

So, canonically, wasn't the Kami War in Kamigawa like 1000 years before anything else in the Magic timeline? It's pretty unlikely that we'll see any named characters. IIRC most of the named characters died in the war, or were mortal

According to Amazon the commander precon are named “Buckle Up” and “Upgrades Unleashed”. So at least a commander deck is vehicle themed.

Kamigawa was the set of everything being legendary so many of the spirits were legendary too. And immortal.

given that some of the kami were like spiritual embodiments of concepts can they even be said to live or die

I have 3-4 decks that have been close to completion for years. They have all taken on a theme where a Kamigawa sequel will likely fill in the gaps. Don't disappoint me, Neon Dynasty.

If you are going in a set like this with this approach, you are sure to be disappointed.
I expect this set to have almost nothing to do with the original Kamigawa.

I saw some of the art from the upcoming LOTR set at a Christmas party. It looks pretty cool.

I don’t know anything of the actual card texts though. He just said that they gave him some notes and art direction etc.

If there's more than a single card reference to the weird kamis I'll... well I won't eat a hat.

I need some legendary spirits, and a ninja or two. A new zubera and some arcane spells would help too. So mostly world themes rather than mechanics. I think I'll hit at least one of those.

They are almost certainly not doing any arcane spells, they would rather do splice onto instant/sorcery instead bc of how dreadfully samey arcane decks look

But there will probably be new ninjas at least.
