The Story so Far

1200 years after the first visit to Kamigawa, the plane has completely evolved after the Kami War. Technology has improved greatly, and the world is facing new challenges that come along with the advancements.

The story focuses around Kaito, a planeswalker that is furiously searching for the missing emperor of Kamigawa. In his journeys he meets up with Tamiyo, runs into Tezzeret by accident, and has to battle Jin-Gitaxias face to face. Yes that’s correct, Jin-Gitaxias is on Kamigawa – for the time being at least.

New Mechanics

Ninjustu

Ninjutsu is back, because of course it would be. Ninjutsu is one of the most loved abilities from the original Kamigawa, and it fits the ninja-flavor of the latest set.

Channel

Channel also makes a second appearance, and  players may are hoping these cards will be a bit more playable this time around.

Modified

Modified is a new keyword in Kamigawa Neon Dynasty that described a creature that is enchanted, attached to an equipment or owns a counter of some sort.

Reconfigure

A brand new mechanic called “Reconfigure” is ushered into the game with Kamigawa Neon Dynasty. Reconfigure allows a creature to become an equipment, that can attach to another creature.

Double Faced Sagas

Sagas make a return in Neon Dynasty, but this time with a new twist. These sagas will flip on the third lore-counter into a creature.
