Hinata, Dawn-Crowned

Description

Hinata, Dawn-Crowned is a legendary Kirin Spirit creature from the 2022 Magic: The Gathering expansion, Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty. Printed as card number 487 in the NEO set code, this foil rare card offers a striking visual finish that appeals to both gameplay enthusiasts and aesthetic collectors. The card features artwork by Alexander Mokhov, bringing the mystical Kirin Spirit to life with a vibrant, multi-colored mana cost structure. In terms of gameplay mechanics, Hinata provides flying and trample, allowing it to strike effectively while remaining difficult to block. Its most defining trait is its ability to manipulate spell costs based on targets. For the controlling player, each target reduces the casting cost by one generic mana, offering significant value in multi-target scenarios. Conversely, it imposes a cost increase of one generic mana for every target on spells cast by opponents, creating a strategic barrier for adversaries. This dual-edged mechanic makes it a versatile piece for any Magic: The Gathering collection focused on dynamic spell interaction. As a key component of the Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty release, it represents a popular era of design that blends traditional fantasy elements with a modern aesthetic, making it a sought-after addition for completing sets.
