(Thread) Here's my top 10 cards from Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty. These are the cards I think will hold value long term. This would normally be a premium article, but I'm not currently writing / don't have time to flesh this out @starcitygames. #MTG #MTGNEON.
This list includes cards from Neon Dynasty and Neon Dynasty Commander (New cards, no reprints). They release at the same time so I'm going to include them together. Some of these cards might drop from preorder pricing in the short term, but will be great long-term picks! (/2)
10) Jin-Gitaxias, Progress Tyrant. Solid Praetor, excellent reanimation target, playable in multiple formats. Phyrexian version will be worth the most, but the Soft Glow frame is going to be undervalued to start.
9) Reality Heist - The most niche card on this list, but one that will be played in every affinity-based deck out there.
8) Atsushi, the Blazing Sky - Super-solid Mythic Red Dragon. Goldspan Dragon and Manaform Dragon have both performed well. Those are a good foundation for a lasting value on Atsushi.
7) Boseiju, Who Endures - I believe it'll come down from the current price tag, but will be at least $20. Auto-include in any deck running Green, and a mainstay in EDH/multiple eternal formats.
6) March of Otherworldly Light - Not as good as Prismatic Ending (but close). Prismatic Ending is a $5 Uncommon, so that bodes well for MOOL to hold long term value, since it's playable in both Standard and Pioneer.
5) Mirror Box - This one is probably my longest-term pick on this list, but it's an upgraded Mirror Gallery in every way, and Mirror Gallery is a $30 card. This card is a sure-fire long term success, but it'll take a while for supply to dry up to get there.
4) Swift Reconfiguration - I've talked about this a bunch on my other twitter threads, but this is good removal that also has a TON of flexible use, including saving your own creatures from kill, locking down commanders, and going infinite with Devoted Druid.
3) Go-Shintai of Life's Origin - The power level of this for the Shrine deck is off the charts. This is probably the most pushed "niche" commander in forever. Singlehandedly makes Shrine decks viable in casual. Insane recursion from the graveyard is just a bonus.
2) Secluded Courtyard - It's one step down from Cavern of Souls ($90) and one step up from Unclaimed Territory ($2, but reprinted 5 times in 5 years. Was at $5 before reprintings). Sure-fire to stay at least at $2, likely going to $3-$4.
1) Containment Construct - Absolutely insane card that is going to be a staple in multiple decks (casual/Competitive) and is the card in this set most likely to end up getting banned in an Eternal format. Degenerate with Lion's Eye Diamond and Bazaar of Baghdad. Best card in set.
BONUS TWO CARDS:
Farewell (Showcase Frame)
The Wandering Emperor (Showcase Frame)
These two cards, SPECIFICALLY in these frames, are going to hold value due to collector appeal. The demand from Japan on both of these cards is sky high.
(/Thread)
And of course disclaimer - other cards in this set will have value, these are just the 10 that I believe are the best among a really above-average set. Probably had about 20 cards to choose among, which is a really good rate! #MTG
