===Format rebalancing=== | |||
The Limited reception of the set was not favorable, with White seen as far above the other colors, in no small part due to <c>Inspiring Overseer</c>. In that regard, Wizards experimented with a retroactive [[Rebalanced card|rebalancing]], dubbed the "Planeshifted Draft" on [[MTG Arena]]. The changes to 43 cards addressed the following: | |||
*Improvement for multicolor decks, as two-color decks were much more reliable than the three-color decks in the ostensible three-color format (the Smuggling fixers, <c>A-Paragon of Modernity</c>, <c>A-Ominous Parcel</c>). | |||
*Improvement to {{R}}{{G}} [[Treasure]] cards, due to Cabaretti and Riveteers being underperformers (<C>A-Glittermonger</c>, <c>A-Stimulus Package</c>, <c>A-Security Rhox</c>, <c>A-Exhibition Magician</c>, <c>A-Most Wanted</c>). | |||
*Improvement to various uncommon build-arounds to diversify drafting (<c>A-Vampire Scriviner</c>, <c>A-Graveyard Shift</c>, <c>A-Metropolis Angel</c>, <c>A-Pyre-Sledge Arsonist</c>). | |||
*Improvement to various defensive measures, with an eye against aggressive shield counter creatures and 3-power attackers (<c>A-Psionic Snoop</c>, <c>A-Deal Gone Bad</c>, <c>A-Ready to Rumble</c>, <c>A-Highrise Sawjack</c>, <c>A-Buy Your Silence</c>. | |||
*Reduction in rate to two higher impact commons (<c>A-Celestial Regulator</c> and <c>A-Civil Servant</c>). | |||

Streets of New Capenna is the ninety-second Magic expansion. It is inspired by modern urban gangster movies focusing on early 20th century society and organized crime.[3][4][5] It was released on April 29, 2022.[6]
Set details
“ | Family Means Business | ” |
Public domain name registries for Streets of New Celesta were filed by a subsidiary registrar in October, 2020.[7] A further registration with the gg domain was filed by Wizards of the Coast itself. After the name "New Celesta" appeared in a published vision design handoff document for March of the Machine, Mark Rosewater confirmed on his blog that it had been the original name for New Capenna.[8]
The set contains 281 regular cards (101 commons, 80 uncommons, 60 rares, 20 mythic rares, 20 basic lands) and includes randomly inserted premium versions of all cards. The regular cards include 10 full-art "Metropolis" basic lands.[9][10] Each type has two different pieces of art. Alternate card frames have another card number than the original version. Borderless planeswalkers are numbered #282-284. Other borderless cards are #285-295. Each of the 45 three-color gold cards in Streets of New Capenna appears in the "Golden Age" Showcase treatment that evokes the aesthetics of the roaring and soaring city life of New Capenna. The art deco influence is felt in the frames of this treatment, which is paired with eye-catching gold. These are numbered #296-340. Four rares and five mythic rares —including the three mythic rare planeswalkers — appear in the "Art Deco" treatment, reimagining those cards as if they were on the cover of a fashion magazine (#341-349). Ten of the nonbasic lands appear in the "Skyscraper" treatment (#350-359). #360 is the Phyrexian-language Urabrask, Heretic Praetor. Extended artwork cards are numbered #406-440. #450-460 are the Gala Greeters box toppers. The Buy-a-Box card is #461 and the Bundle promo is #462. The dark frame treatment cards from the Universal promo pack are numbered #463-467. The "Concept Praetor" art of Urabrask, released with Phyrexia: All Will Be One, is #468.[11]
All 45 Golden Age cards have a gilded version (#361-405). These "Gilded Foil" cards have the golden frame elements three-dimensionally embossed in gold atop a traditional foil card. As with other treatments, this embossing is smooth and legal for play in sanctioned Magic tournaments.[10] Foil-etched versions of all nine "Art Deco" cards can be found exclusively in Collector Boosters (#441-449).
Storyline
The set takes place in the Art Deco metropolis of New Capenna, a city that has both grit and glamour. It is a place built by angels, but now ruled by five demon-led crime families battling for supremacy. The fragile alliances that foster peace between the families are being strained to a breaking point as the precious commodity halo seems to be running out and someone known as "The Adversary" makes a power grab. Meanwhile, the planeswalker Elspeth Tirel arrives to investigate her past.[12] Deep under the city, another outsider has his own plans.
The cards that represent the Story Spotlights in New Capenna are:
Remarkably, some of these Story Spotlights have flavor text referencing events that aren't told in the Magic Story, or even depict events that contradict the Magic Story.[13]
Magic Story
Marketing
New Capenna is sold in regular 16-card Draft Boosters (one card being a marketing card), a Draft Pack, Theme Boosters, Collector Boosters, Set Boosters, the New Capenna Bundle, and five Commander decks.[14][15] The Draft Boosters feature artwork depicting Elspeth Tirel, the Set Boosters feature art depicting an angel car hood ornament, and the Collector Boosters feature artwork depicting an angel statue on a rooftop. The Theme Boosters feature art from Scheming Fence (Obscura ), Glamorous Outlaw (Maestros ), Pugnacious Pugilist (Riveteers ), Venom Connoisseur (Cabaretti ) and Dapper Shieldmate (Brokers ).
Box Toppers
Set Booster displays containing 30 Set Boosters, as well as Draft and Collector Booster displays, each contain a traditional foil Box topper card.[10] The card is always Gala Greeters, but the version of the card is region-specific. There are are 11 alternate art versions of the regular card. The art and language of the Gala Greeters always matches the language of the display. Each Box Topper version depicts art celebrating the regional culture of that language.

There are also two sets of shield counters, +1/+1 counters and keyword counters on double-faced punch cards.[20]
The List
For New Capenna, the List is down to 67 cards. This is because this set introduces the Magic IP versions of the 9 cards from the Secret Lair Drop Series: Stranger Things. One in eight Set Boosters will contain one of these cards, while another one in eight set boosters will contain a different card from the List.[14] The List is slightly smaller to accommodate this distribution. The Information below the text box of the rebranded cards has the special SLX set code and the SLD collector number that it equals to.[21] All rebranded cards have the same rarity as the original.
The 58 other cards are rares and mythic rares are from Magic's history that complement the narrative and mechanical themes of the set. Among the new cards is a special non-foil Rafiq of the Many featuring new art and the Streets of New Capenna Golden Age treatment.[22] This card notably lacks the planeswalker symbol in the lower left corner, and adds a new collector number (#250) to the Shards of Alara set.
Themes and mechanics
The set features shard-colored factions, for the first time since the Alara block.[12][23] Each of the five associated crime families features its own keyword, watermark and gameplay style.[24][14][25][26]
Family | Color | Gameplay | Mechanic |
---|---|---|---|
Brokers | Protection and control | Shield counters — If a permanent with a shield counter on it would be destroyed by an effect, a shield counter is removed from the permanent instead of the creature being destroyed. If a permanent with a shield counter on it would be dealt damage, that damage is prevented and a shield counter is removed from the permanent. | |
Obscura | Card draw and control | Connive —If a creature you control is instructed to connive, you draw a card and discard a card. If you discard a nonland card, you put a +1/+1 counter on the creature that connived. | |
Maestros | Sacrifice and removal | Casualty — As an additional cost to cast a spell with casualty, you may sacrifice a creature with power N or greater, where N is the number that appears after the keyword. If you choose to do so, a triggered ability triggers that copies the spell. | |
Riveteers | Aggro and big beaters | Blitz — Casting a spell for its blitz cost has several effects. The creature gains haste and "When this creature dies, draw a card." At the beginning of the next end step, you sacrifice the creature. | |
Cabaretti | Creature synergies and Go Wide | Alliance — An ability word that highlights triggered abilities that trigger whenever another creature enters the battlefield under your control. The effects differ per card. |
Cycling is only used on the tri-lands.[27] It now is considered to be deciduous.[28]
Hideaway is a returning mechanic with a somewhat changed template. This keyword ability gives special access to a card from the library when linked with a second ability. It was earlier used on a horizontal cycle of rare lands in Lorwyn, and on one card in Modern Horizons. Hideaway used to inherently mean four cards, but now it can be any number (especially five!), and that number will appear after the word "hideaway." Also, hideaway used to inherently mean the permanent with hideaway entered the battlefield tapped, but this is no longer true. Previous cards with hideaway now have "[This permanent] enters the battlefield tapped" as a separate ability.
This set also marks the return of the first monocolored blue creature with haste since Bonded Fetch in Future Sight, with Errant, Street Artist. Similar to the previous card, the mono-blue creature with haste has the ability to use its activated abilities right away upon entering the battlefield rather than for attacking.
Card types
- With this set, Raccoon is first seen as a creature type on non-Acorn cards.
Secondary limited archetypes
In addition to the shards, Streets of New Capenna features the following draft archetypes for allied colors:[23]
- : Creatures with counters on them.
- : Five different mana values on cards in your graveyard.
- : Sacrifice
- : Treasure
- : Citizens matter

Functional reprints
- High-Rise Sawjack is a functional reprint of Netcaster Spider from Magic 2015, save for creature types.
- Daring Escape is a functional reprint of Storm Strike from Ravnica Allegiance.
Notable cards
- Halo Fountain is an alternate-win card.
- Even the Score appears to have a clause that is nearly trinket text, given how only Courier's Briefcase is the only card to draw three cards in the set. The card is more targeted against Brainstorm (and Ancestral Recall to a lesser extent) in older formats.
- The fetch land cycle are the first lands whose sole ability is a triggered one. Functionally, they are also the first lands without a tap ability since Dark Depths in 2006, and the first without activated abilities since Ice Age's Halls of Mist and Glacial Chasm in 1995 (with technicalities to Yavimaya, Cradle of Growth, Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth and Vesuva, all of which usually gain tap abilities when in play).
Format rebalancing
The Limited reception of the set was not favorable, with White seen as far above the other colors, in no small part due to Inspiring Overseer. In that regard, Wizards experimented with a retroactive rebalancing, dubbed the "Planeshifted Draft" on MTG Arena. The changes to 43 cards addressed the following:
- Improvement for multicolor decks, as two-color decks were much more reliable than the three-color decks in the ostensible three-color format (the Smuggling fixers, A-Paragon of Modernity, A-Ominous Parcel).
- Improvement to Treasure cards, due to Cabaretti and Riveteers being underperformers (A-Glittermonger, A-Stimulus Package, A-Security Rhox, A-Exhibition Magician, A-Most Wanted).
- Improvement to various uncommon build-arounds to diversify drafting (A-Vampire Scriviner, A-Graveyard Shift, A-Metropolis Angel, A-Pyre-Sledge Arsonist).
- Improvement to various defensive measures, with an eye against aggressive shield counter creatures and 3-power attackers (A-Psionic Snoop, A-Deal Gone Bad, A-Ready to Rumble, A-Highrise Sawjack, A-Buy Your Silence.
- Reduction in rate to two higher impact commons (A-Celestial Regulator and A-Civil Servant).
Preconstructed decks
Streets of New Capenna features five Commander decks that are released as a regular part of a set's product line.
