The alternate art cards can be obtained as a part of the Buy-A-Box promo, which requires players to purchase a booster box of Magic: The Gathering cards at specific local game stores.

Blending Japanese mythology with a futuristic feel, the Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty expansion will include full-art lands inspired by traditional Ukiyo-e paintings and a new set of legendary dragons. Kamigawa, the setting for the expansion, was first introduced with the Champions of Kamigawa set released in 2004. Neon Dynasty will take place over 1,200 years after the conclusion of the original storyline.

The Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty expansion for Magic: The Gathering will be released on February 18, 2022.
