Streets of New Capenna will be the 92nd Magic the Gathering expansion. Here is when the Streets of New Capenna release date will be.

Magic: The Gathering – Streets of New Capenna Release Date: April 29, 2022

Magic: The Gathering's 92nd expansion Streets of New Capenna's release date will be on April 29, 2022. Pre-Release weekend is a week before, on April 22, 2022. The set enters MtG Arena on April 28, 2022, but some streamers will be given early access on Tuesday, April 26, 2022.

Streets of New Capenna will be focusing on five different crime families in the city of New Capenna. The set's theme is early 1900's crime drama, with strong mafia elements and allusions. New Capenna's five crime families are represented by five different tri-color archetypes: Obscura (WUB), Maestros (UBR), Riveteers (BRG), Cabaretti (WRG), and Brokers (WUG). Each archetype is also represented in the upcoming Commander Decks for the game, as well as by the different Theme Boosters that will be available upon release date. Even the pre-release booster packs are themed after these five families.

New Capenna was a plane created by Angels, but has since been taken over by five demon crime families. Each family brings a mechanic to the set, namely:

  • Shield Counters – Brokers – 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.
  • Connive – Obscura – 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.
  • Casualty – Maestros – 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.
  • Blitz – Riveteers – 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.
  • Alliance – Cabaretti – An ability word that highlights triggered abilities that trigger whenever another creature enters the battlefield under your control. The effects differ per card.

Streets of New Capenna will be Magic: The Gathering's active set until August 26, when the set will be followed up by a new expansion.
