i have never seen this card before but its obvious why...

also i like the animation on that ... would be kinda cool if they did an actual anime for the set.. hopefully that netflix one is good??

Went to both weekend pre-releases and went 3-0 both times and had an absolute blast. Thought it might just be victory bias but have done a dozen drafts on arena since then, with varying results and almost every draft game I feel like I was outplayed or misplayed myself, not just beaten by a bomb or something. Most fun I have had in limited in khans and probably top 5 limited sets ever imo.

i recognize this singer from the opening to 91 Days. i remember thinking that song sucked but then it grew on me, so that might happen here too

anyways, cool trailer. no idea wats happening, tho, guess i should have read the lore. plus no tamiyo compleation? fail.

Echoing the general feeling which is that Neon Dynasty owns. Happy that they really leaned into the setting. Makes me bullish for the gangsters in new capella set.

Depends on your colors and the rest of your mana. I stand by that it's two in most mono cases.

"Thus," concluded Miyamoto, "you must give up everything you have to be my disciple."

Having two of them as your only lands in your opening hand is probably an instant mulligan so just math that out and see whether it's worth it for the upside of seeing the card more often. I wouldn't play two but I am also currently not playing any constructed formats because limited is insanely good.

Nah, having two in your opening hand means one's a lotus petal/spell. If you have a third land the hand is fine.
And the odds both will be in your opening 7+3 more draws is 2.5% 5.7% for limited.

My first ever standard deck was a Yisan deck but probably not high-level play

Ob Nix was pretty obnixious with fetchlands in standard but again probably not actually good

Genesis Hydra as mentioned was great against control because the cast trigger was uncounterable

Yisan feels all wrong. I guess it’s technically possible, but adding counters as part of activation rubs me the wrong way.

any planeswalker with a + ability is adding counters as part of activation. Also most cards that add -1/-1 counters to do a thing, like Devoted Druid

RNG being super sus. Opened 6 packs so far from this set booster box and got three borderless Kyodai's and 2 borderless Sokenzan's. I have no delusions of completing a full set of rares/mythics in 2 boxes but come on bro!

I made a series of bad investments. Tarantula farm. The bottom fell out of the market.

I have opened dozens of draft booster boxes back when I collected 2009-2014. I'm coming back with Kamigawa and I bought two boxes of Jumpstart to sleeve and make a little battle box, and two boxes of set boosters for Kamigawa. Just opened the second box and this is THE best booster box I have ever opened. With my limited understanding of card distribution in sealed product, I am absurdly lucky.

30 packs yielded:
The Wandering Emperor (showcase)
Jin-Gitaxias (showcase)
3x Boseiju, Who Endures (all borderless)
All the mythic dragons in borderless, with two copies of the black and red ones
Tamiyo (borderless)
Tamiyo (phyrexian text)
Tezzeret (borderless)
2 copies sokenzan, 2 copies takenuma, 3 copies eiganjo, 1 copy otawara, (all borderless)

this is from opening a single set box, not both? that seems unreasonably heavy on mythics and duplicates for how boxes usually get laid out. interested to see if that's more the norm rather than a rarity/mispacked box when more people start opening theirs.
