Magic goes Japanese Lose 30 kilos (of popups)

Far from the metal plane of Mirrodin, in a distant corner of the multiverse, lies Kamigawa, a world that waged a brutal war against its own gods.



Looks like we're getting a Japanese-inspired saga, like the Mirage saga was African-inspired.

Cool, I couldn't wait for it. The Japanese folklore and setting rock, Magic-wise, so it is only normal they do it

DinoDoc: I get the impression that in the Magic Universe, gods = pretender planeswalkers, really strong spirits of the dead, or a description of some magical force generally.

But yeah, I like the fact that it seems Japanese, not generic-Asian. The orochi gave it away.

Almost relevant to the god stuff.

Just from the style guide, it certainly looks like something to look forward to.

Anyone want to post some images from that? I grew out of the magic-trap along time ago, but that peeked my interest.
