What’s Next In Neon Kamigawa?

I like planning ahead, and figuring out what I can do ahead of time. Sometime I have to move fast on things, like Zombies getting a whole deck of goodies during the Werewolf set. We can plan ahead, though, and make some plans with regard to Neon Kamigawa.

I’m going to look at the themes that we got in Original Kamigawa, see what we can glean from a return to that theme, and dive in.

Hunting Up Value

I get it, with the release of Crimson Vow we’re all buzzing with the new cards and the hot fun, but let’s not overlook that Midnight Hunt is now at peak supply. As we shift to the new set, vendors and distributors are going to open plenty of VOW (especially if there’s a lottery ticket of foil Kojima Sorin the Mirthless) and that will let the prices for MID trickle even further down.

What I’m looking for are cards that have good potential in Standard (it’s got two years to get good) and easy playability in Commander. If it’s good enough for Pioneer or Modern play, that’s a bonus!

The Math of Crimson Vow

Here we go again! There’s some variable math here in Crimson Vow, and it will add up to some really unusual options when it comes to what you’ll open from a Collector Booster.

There’s a change I’m making to the calculations to these articles, so let me explain what’s up in this set and why it’s so unusual. To the math!

Early Returns on Crimson Vow

Innistrad: Crimson Vow is finally in preview season, and it’s full of amazing cards! Some of them are tribal goodness, some of them are going to be great in Standard, and others are Commander gold. 

I don’t think I’m preordering any of these cards, but I am keeping a close eye on them. I want to wait until probably February or later for picking up significant quantities, depending on if they start to creep upward again. It’s also possible that demand is just enough to keep these cards from getting too cheap. I’m willing to run that risk.

Let’s get to it!
