Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty Mechanics & First Impressions

Our Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty survey is open! Please take a few minutes to let us know what you’re testing in your cube from the new set.

The first of our three part set review for Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty is here! Andy and Anthony are putting their designer hats on and talking about their first impressions of the triumphant return to Kamigawa. Neon Dynasty brings a handful of flexible mechanics along with a slew of new artifact and enchantment focused themes. Which mechanics are open-ended enough to see broad play? Which kinds of cubes will benefit most from the new themes and archetypes? What would Andy and Anthony change if they could go back in time and remake Magic from the beginning? Find out within!
