February 2022 Update

Kamigawa Neon Dynasty is likely my favorite set in the past few years. It hits a great blend of satisfying gameplay mechanics with an excellent art direction. Luckily, for peasant, this set has also been a home run. There are many new toys for us:

We get flexible cards via the Channel mechanic in Colossal Skyturtle, Mirrorshell Crab, and Touch the Spirit Realm. Control gets some love with Behold the Unspeakable, Aggro gets one of the biggest sleepers in the set with Rabbit Battery, and the remaining colors get sprinkled with various small upgrades for their respective themes (Gravelighter, Moon-circuit Hacker, etc.)

For next set's update, I'll still be paying attention to green's midrange creature suite and see if I can inject some interesting cards to keep the color from feeling too generic. I'm also curious if Okiba Reckoner Raid is a trap - it's a ton of value for one mana, but the tempo delay makes me a bit concerned. Time will tell!
