It's time to pack some heat and channel your inner gumshoes, flappers, and gun molls, as crime does pay on the Streets of New Capenna! The 2022 spring premier set transports us to the seedy underbelly of the glamorous industrial metropolis of New Capenna, the only remaining populated area on a devastated plane whose original name is now lost to memory. Built by angels, this sin city has fallen under the control of five criminal families each led by a different demon boss representing one of the five shards of the allied colors of mana. With a setting inspired by the Jazz Age of the Roaring Twenties, Streets of New Capenna emphasizes an art style based on 1920s Art Deco and focuses on visual elements and narrative tropes found in gangster movies. It released on 29 April 2022 and features two special showcase treatments – the "Skyscraper" frame for the lands and a brand new foil treatment called "gilded foil" for the 45 "Golden Age" three-color cards, which are printed with a special three-dimensional gold finish embossed along the frame.
Streets of New Capenna is a multicolored set, the first using allied shards since the Alara block. It includes plenty of common mana fixing that defines the Limited environment, allowing the players to easily draft a deck belonging to one of the five families. Each family describes a different color triplet and brings into play distinctive themes and mechanics.
But there's more going on in New Capenna than just the five families and their illegal dealings. The set completes the cycle of triome lands started in Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths, where they were all wedge-colored. This also means cycling is back for the occasion, if only in this specific instance. A more unexpected return is hideaway, last seen in a premier set at the time of its first introduction in Lorwyn. The mechanic has been reworked so that it now expresses the number of cards we look at from the top of the library, and it doesn't necessarily cause the permanent with hideaway to enter the battlefield tapped anymore. More themes of the set include "counters matter" in white-blue; different mana values in the graveyard in blue-black; sacrifices in black-red; Treasures in red-green; and Citizen tribal in green-white.
