A total of eight Magic: The Gathering Commander only cards will appear within Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty set booster packs, containing Shrine lord that supports all five colors and a cycle of new Myojin spirits on the plane.

Scheduled to release globally on Feb. 18, set booster packs for Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty will have one slot dedicated to Commander-only cards. A cycle of five Myojin legendary spirits take up five of the slots, showcasing Indestructible counters. Shrines are represented via Go-Shintai of Life’s Origin, a lord that supports shrine tribal themes. And the final two of eight Commander-only cards in set boosters are Yoshimaru, Ever Faithful, and Ruthless Technomancer. Extended art versions of these eight Commander-only cards may also appear in NEO Collector boosters.

The Myojin NEO Commander cycle

There are a total of five Myojin Commander-only cards, each representing one of the five Magic colors. The Myojin are all legendary spirits that are new to the plane of Kamigawa and are not tied to the original Myojin from the past. Each enters the battlefield with an Indestructible counter when cast from hand, as these legendary spirits will not gain the counter when cast from the Command Zone. And each has a total CMC of eight.
