As we near the very first preview stream for Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty, the hype around the set is building to an all time high. Starting with the WPN Promo Poster, to the Bundle Box Art, and most recently an official Instagram picture from Wizards of the Coast showing some more characters in the set, excitement is building across all of social media. Just to drive the point home, WotC dropped the Official Teaser Trailer hours ahead of the stream today.

We’re greeted in the video with some very 80’s vibes visuals and synthwave style music. A character sits at a temple in front of a bonzai tree. The tree digitizes, and a cherry blossom flies off into the figure’s hand. A transformation happens, and the mask of the character is revealed. The shot pans out to see a view of the present day Kamigawa, and we get a clear shot of The Wanderer.
