It just rumored today and almost instantly there’s a whole bunch of supports to this being legit
and for those who hate this major set change from old Japanese mythology to a tron/cyberpunk plane reminder the kamigawa we all know (that we drafted at the time) was 1000 years ago in the lore this is present era
At least one of these will happen in 2022, at least one more should happen till the end of 2023:
Alara, Dominaria (focused on Otaria), Kamigawa (present) or New Phryexia

I kinda hope not. While I'm all for returning to Kamigawa, I'm not a huge fan of mtg being too 'futuristic'. Kaladesh and New Phyrexia are as modern and technologically advanced as I'd want to go and sometimes even they push the boundaries too far in my opinion.

Wizards. listen. The Vorthos community will await the consequences of the Eldrazi Titans' deaths/sealing. We will keep the watch.

What's so bad about "futuristic fantasy?" FFXV and even FFVII did it quite well without deviating too far from the genre.
If anything I think a visit to a "modern" Kamigawa would be interesting, to see how the transitional progress happened following the Kami War.

It's just a matter of personal preference. I'm not a fan of futuristic fantasy. Never have been. Likely never will be. I'll take the feudal, 'Warring States' period Japan over a fantastical-futuristic Japan any day of the week. Yakuza-shinobi? No thanks.
The very title kinda even puts me on edge as it reminds me of garish 21st century streets lit with corporate advertising.
I bought my first MtG deck as a kid with my brother during original Mirrodin and I was pretty confused at the differences between the Invasion singles I had collected so far and this weird metallic planet.
I've come to 'slightly' appreciate Mirrodin since then for bringing back MtG's archetypal villain Phyrexia but I'm still not much of a fan of futuristic fantasy in MtG.
During Kaledesh all I wanted to do was to see the rest of the plane beyond the metal and filigree of the big city.
I accept that my tastes could very well be in the minority but if we return to Kamigawa and it is indeed futuristic and neon-lit, I'm likely gonna mentally flee to the furthest reaches of the Takenuma Swamp.
Hello darkness, My old friend.
That being said, I would fully support others' enjoyment of it and not all sets need appeal to my own tastes. There are more non-futuristic planes than otherwise, and I think I just have a vendetta against artifacts.

I agree. I prefer feudal Japan over futuristic Japan. When I mention the Kami War being ancient history, I mean that Kamigawa will have changed in that it is more developed rather than vast wastelands of Kami attacks, and the conflict wouldn't be so large-scale. But not that it would become so futuristic. I'd expect it to be more advanced than it was, but not dramatically so, to the point of being well beyond the fantasy genre, or planes such as Kaladesh, which already pushed the envelope on technology in fantasy. It'd be a bit sad if they couldn't just make Kamigawa a more popular and resonant Japan World without forcing a futuristic veneer over it. Wrong kind of anime to integrate IMO. Make it a recovered Japan World, with no Kami manifestations (to avoid making abstract art that even Eldrazi were unpopular for) but retain its natural landscape as a Japan-like plane, with settings reminiscent of classic anime settings set in the country. Kyoto is a fine example. Shrines, cherry blossom trees, Mt. Fuji, as references etc.
Agreed. Alara has been criminally underrepresented since they started doing return sets regularly. Wouldn't mind going back to Tarkir as well. Maybe they're afraid of designing around 3 color factions again for the main theme of the set. Hard to make the 3 color costs feel worth it while keeping cards balanced sometimes

I mean we had ikoria last year which was a tri color set.

Oh yea duh true! Well then I hope to see Alara back soon. Esper especially!
as long as we still get to see spirit tribal support and at long last get a spirit tribal legend (hopefully 5-color due to the red ones kamigawa made) I will be good.

See that's the thing...there are so many planes that we know only a fraction of. We know dick all about Ixalan outside of the main continent and the Useless Island. We know very little about Ulgrotha, Amonkhet, Mercadia, Fiora...etc.
Know what Id like to see happen? Checking the other planet in Dominaria's system, Jinoue.
I'd love to learn more about what's out there beyond the central locations featured in our "introductory" visit. I get there's a multiverse of planes and universes to the nth degree, but let's try and get a feel for those that we already know of, or at least are hinting at revealing to us i.e. Shandalar, Vryn, Regatha, etc.

I'm here to tell you that all your set mechanics are bad

Nope, they already said that the Ichor here has nothing to do with Phyrexia.

I hope Kamiwaga is not one of the settings.
Lorwyn would be cool.
Another Forgotten Realms set focused on Kara Tur would be cool, updating Kara Tur to the present.
I think there will be at least 1 new Plane.

That’s are line up for 2022 and 2023 of code names for standard sets
so they did it again core sets died again that’s why core 2021 was the best core set ever.
So maybe could get some thing on what sets could be perhaps.
