If they pared it down to one set, many of those mechanics could be jettisoned for only the most effective ones. Maybe even seed it with some new cards that fit the mechanics.
Never say never with these clowns.
So they bring back Bushido and Ninjutsu and that's the set?
Honestly, making a new Kamigawa set would probably be easier than making a good remaster and reskinning it. They could probably get a bonus sheet out of the old cards if they wanted though.
did something hit your head i seen slivers win less than 3 turns i know because 1 i play them 2 i seen it from other players.
They said "most popular in casual," which is definitely true. They're a very small portion of the competitive meta in a couple formats, but quite popular outside tournaments.
Our glimpse of Kamigawa with Yuriko doesn't indicate it is cyberpunk, and Neon Dynasty doesn't need to mean that. Unless she was from old timeline Kamigawa.
I'd prefer an updated, resonant Kamigawa, but still retain that feudal theme.
But wouldn't it be nice, just once, to buck the trend of fantasy worlds caught in inexplicable technological and sociological stagnation?
Do it with Dominaria then. I’m honestly prepared to dislike Kamigawa because it’s likely to miss the parts of the original I liked. Which is sad but to be expected. Cyberpunk is not what I want at all.
But last time we went to Dominaria the descendants of the Weatherlight crew rebuilt the Weatherlight and fought the Cabal while Tetsuko Umezawa was walking around talking about Toshiro like he saw him last week. 2 apocalypses didn't change the social structures there.
We didn’t see all of Dominaria, and my suggestion is use that kind of thing there instead.
I'd love to see Dominaria evolve too, I was not a big fan of the nostalgia for nostalgia's sake thing that's become its theme. Rehashing the same old stuff, especially when it makes no sense given the time scale and the story so far, is "somehow, Palpatine returned" level bad storytelling.

Yeah, I doubt the kami are totally gone from Kamigawa, but a decreased presence certainly seems likely as both plot and marketing seem like they would push that way.
"OK, fine, we'll go back to Kamigawa, but it's been 1000 years, so everyone from the first one is dead and it's become a cyberpunk world."
close it might be 10,000
and not quite everyone is dead fairly safe bet particular spirit legends that didn't get killed in the war are most likely alive most particular sisters of flesh and spirit (kyodai and Michiko Konda combined) and All-Consuming Oni of Chaos and Hidetsugu combined
I'll amend: every non-spirit is dead.
If it's 10,000 then to them the Kami war was almost as far back as the invention of agriculture is to us. Eiganjo Castle could be there Gobekli Tepe.

Are you just a really big Crib Swap fan?
