Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty – Day 2 Decks from Across the Web

It’s now been two full days since the MTG Arena release of Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty, and the community at large has been hard at work playing and testing out the new cards. During this time, we’ve been collecting as many decks as possible from MTG players and content creators across the internet.

In this article, we’ll present a wide variety of decklists from Standard, Historic and Alchemy featuring cards from the new set. We’ll give a quick rundown on some of the archetypes that have been showing up on the second day of the format, but you can also click here to jump straight to the decks.

Additionally, you can find the decklists from day one through the link below, along with a bit of discussion on some of the most popular archetypes. We won’t be going over any of that content again here, so be sure to check out yesterday’s article for more.

Can’t get enough Neon Dynasty content? We’ve got a steadily growing collection of articles about the new set, including guides for both limited and constructed – check them out:

Azorius Vehicles and Other Artifact Decks

Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty has brought some seriously powerful artifacts to Standard, including a slew of playable vehicles and equipment. Since the set’s release, players have been trying all sorts of different shells for the various artifacts, but going into day two, Azorius decks seem to be leading the way – partly because of their ability to run the powerful new artifact-centered planeswalker Tezzeret, Betrayer of Flesh.

You’ll find a number of artifact decks in today’s collection, but here’s one example that was shared on Twitter by well-known Twitch streamer Crokeyz:

Jeskai Hinata

Another highlight from today was the proliferation of decks built around the new Jeskai-colored legend Hinata, Dawn-Crowned. Back when the card was first previewed, players were quick to spot the interaction that the card would have with Magma Opus, the game-ending eight mana mythic instant from Strixhaven. The splashy spell can select as many as six targets, theoretically reducing its cost to a mere two mana with Hinata on the field.

Combine that with the remnants of the Izzet Epiphany shell that dominated Standard until the banning of the eponymous Alrund’s Epiphany, and you have a formidable control deck with a combo-style finish. Unexpected Windfall helps to get the deck up to large amounts of mana – especially when copied by Galvanic Iteration – helping to ensure that Opus can be cast even without Hinata on the field.

Here’s one example of a Hinata deck that’s been adapted for the Alchemy format:
