Sets (NEO) Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty Previews
- Thread starter TrainmasterGT
- Start date
Shrines were just about perfect in M20 limited.
Gross. Less of this please.
January 27th, but there are lore previews including the entire history of Kamigawa since the last set.
You know, I really wish people would stop complaining about the Cyberpunk side of the new Kamigawa. At this point it's been confirmed a hunderd ways that the traditional style people enjoyed from the first set is returning and playing an integral role in the new world. There might be some aesthetic differences from the original since it's been almost 20 years since the original block, there's plenty that invokes the original feel. Case and point:
Even most of the "cyberpunk" art seems to draw tons of inspiration from the original block.
Honestly, some people's behavior regarding this topic has been genuinely upsetting and disheartening. It has been making the forums feel like a very toxic place for the last month or so. It is painfully obvious by now that WOTC took care to honor people's memory of the original Kamigawa while updating it both mechanically and thematically for a new era in both the game and the plane. That's literally a main theme of the set according to WOTC.
How could anyone hate this world?:
This set is really beautiful and as I've been saying this entire time I would highly suggest waiting to see the entirety of the set before complaining about singular pieces of art. The package is shaping up to be wonderful.

All I'm gonna say on the DJ is that I hate it so much that I love it. It's so over-the-top tonally inconsistent that it becomes rad again, kind of like the whole Power Armor thing. Bring it on. Also thanks for posting the high-res art, Trainmaster! You're absolutely right that it's gorgeous, though pretty heavy on the pastel colors. (And more Wylie Beckert!! Not that that's a surprise.)
Also sorry for the double-post, but I'm starting to feel like one of the ways WotC is going to mechanically tie in the "new vs. old" theme is by making this not an artifact set, not an enchantment set, but an artifacts vs. enchantments set, which I've been wanting for forever. If the whole modified keyword is real (and I'm guessing it is), that would be a really neat use of bundling to tie the room together, and I think it would open up a lot of space for cubes by making artifact and enchantment themes less parasitic, even if the latter tends to be the only truly problematic one. I hope they do it, if only to throw a bone to the poor Melvins of the world.
It was from this worldbuilding panel. I think there are a couple pieces of art I missed grabbing (mostly concept art, although I think there was another Samurai and another Ogre I missed), but this is basically everything shown off during the stream.

Honestly "modified" possibly being "enchanted / equipped" sounds great. That'd be some really interesting design space!

Wylie's NEO art so far is totally rad. Can't wait for more!

I heard rumors of counters on a creature also counting as modified.
i heard from BTP’s telepathic future-dwelling hivemind that the mechanic involves writing new keywords on creature cards with your own blood

The other option they give us is to pay extra and then they will print the keywords on the cards for us.
I think (but don't really know italian) the reminder text for "Scarica di Fiamma" says "(Equipment, auras you control and counters are modifications.)"

I’m Italian and I confirm! I think this is a little different from the only other “modified” we got in Magic, that was in mystery boosters: Louvaq, the Aberrant
I hope that too!
It’s actually very close. Auras, Equipments and counters would all lead to protection.
But yeah, not exactly. A Giant Growth is a difference.
More art, these are mostly for Sagas:
The Kami War (Confirms a leak!)
The Life of Toshiro Umezawa
Michiko's Reign of Truth
Azusa's Many Journeys
The Dragon-Kami Reborn
The Shattered States Era
Hopefully, these have dispelled any lingering fears about classic Kamigawa not being represented. I'm really digging these Sagas!

i’m waiting for wotc to start the next phase of the alternate reality game and have the time traveling ninja who’s been posting these “leaks” start an AMA under an encrypted reddit username that leads to a numbers station that leads to posters around the greater Seattle area asking “HAVE YOU SEEN THIS MAN IN YOUR DREAMS?” with a toll free number to call if you have
