Seems like the black border thing will make the set more marketable and maybe we'll get some legacy goodies in there?
I always hated that I'd play an UN release then never play the cards again. At least now some can have a second life in commander decks and dumb legacy brews.
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.
What if this Kamigawa Neon Dynasty is not a new set, but a remaster with a new "skin" like new frames and art? Seems like that would be an easy cash grab and a somewhat cool product?
That JTF on the first shelf though... WHAT COULD IT MEAN!? (It does look like that one is the mystical archive one of allied-color spells they couldn't jam into Strix)
Or is it backward FTL? (Follow the leader?)
Also, the record and sticks look more like jazz equipment than metal, but I doubt they'll do a .... SNAKE JAZZ
Notice the little gecko or whatever by the Owl's left foot.
Y'all better figure this out by the end of the day.
• a planeswalker you know, but not as you know them
Undercover Liliana, Masked Estrid, Six-less Wrenn or The Wanderer are the most likely options here. Shapeshifted Oko is a possibility but it would be weird to see both the Kenriths and Oko sharing a set again so soon.
EDIT: Just realized this could also possibly mean a "pre-spark version of a PW". I know it would look a bit woozy but it's canonical that supplemental sets don't follow the normal MtG continuity, kinda like the Kenriths appeared in Battlebond despite their sparks igniting in Eldraine. We could theoretically see pre-spark Wrenn, for example - funny how Wrenn would perfectly fit the "Legendary Creature - Dryad Druid" description too.
• a card sharing something never shared before
I'm going assume that by "sharing" MaRo means "distributing some kind of quality between cards", kinda like what Odric, Lunarch Marshal does. Or it could be "sharing" in a game mechanic sense, like "all players share graveyards" or something like that. Still an interesting concept.
• “untap each creature you control, then tap any number of creatures you control”
This probably hints at a tapping/untapping mechanic in the set. Q is very unlikely, so maybe the return of Inspired? It has a flavor that fits Strixhaven, though I'm not sure which school it would fit into. Probably UR/Prismari, as Inspired does evokes the idea of both artistry and motion, while U is the main color of tapping/untapping while R is the main color of attacking which also triggers Inspired.
Forgot about Wrenn and Six - wasn't there some Wrenn and Six-ish art released already?
• a planeswalker you know, but not as you know them
why them? We know The twins are the MDFC teaser so it can't be them.
Also could just be gender neutral. IIRC, the wanderer's pronouns are They/Them ...
Despite being grammatically incorrect, it is socially OK to ask to be referred to as they/them instead of a gendered pronoun, so I don't think that gives us a ton to work with.

Never say never with these clowns.

IT'S BACKWARDS BECAUSE IT'S TYPE SET!!!!
Nice...

Bravo sir.
Sadly, not Barry's Land.

"WHAT IF" there were no mythics.
That would circumvent any presuppositions, including stated facts from the company (not included in this thread...)
