Acorn cards are the true parody cards that would have been silver-bordered in previous sets, while those without the acorn stamp are legal elsewhere. To do this, the set does away with the traditional silver-border frames and introduced Acorn- and Non-Acorn-cards. It was later announced that it is the best-selling winter set ever released, beating out 2021's Kaldheim. Neon Dynasty was the strongest start to 2022 we could've hoped for, and was a smashing success in almost every metric. It also introduced modified, a new catch-all term for creatures with counters or are equipped or enchanted, and reconfigure, Equipment creatures that are able to swap between their two modes. Neon Dynasty saw the return of three popular mechanics, with ninjutsu allowing you to cheat creatures into play if the thing they replace is unblocked, channel allowing you to discard cards for effects, and enchantment creatures. A gorgeous mashup of traditional Japanese aesthetics and a glowing cyberpunk future, it introduced the new modified and reconfigure mechanics, as well as the first-ever Phyrexian Planeswalker in a gut-wrenching twist that say Kamigawa favourite Tamiyo become compleated. The first set of the year was Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty, Magic's first experiments with a sci-fi setting. Here is everything announced for Magic: The Gathering in 2022. It'll tackle new genres and plenty of crossovers, while also revisiting some pivotal moments of Magic's history.
