A large number of Rare and Mythic Rare cards from Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty were spoiled on Feb. 2, capturing the flavor of the set while also being playable in multiple Magic: The Gathering formats.
Completing the legendary dragon cycle within Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty (NEO) was Kura, the Boundless Sky, a Green dragon that synergizes with Landfall and planeswalkers like Wrenn and Seven. A Mardu samurai also dropped, called Isshin, Two Heavens as One, who doubles as an ability that triggers on a permanent when it attacks. And Thundering Raiju, a spirit with Haste in the MTG color Red that buffs creatures you control with a +1/+1 counter when it attacks while also dealing direct damage—determined by the number of Modified creatures you control to your opponent’s life total.  Â
