Streets of New Capenna is the 92nd Magic expansion. It is inspired by modern urban gangster movies focusing on gangs and organized crime. The set is expected to be released in Q2 2022.[1]
Set details
Public domain name registries for Streets of New Celesta were filed by a subsidiary registrar in October, 2020.[2] A further registration with the gg domain was filed by Wizards of the Coast itself, but apparently they later changed the name to Streets of New Capenna.
Storyline
The set takes place in the city of New Capenna, a place built by angels, but now ruled by five demon crime families battling for supremacy. It is a city important to the planeswalker Elspeth Tirel.[1]
Themes and mechanics
The set features three-colored factions.[1] Each of the five crime families features its own keyword and gameplay style.[3]
