Description
Card #43, titled 'When We Were Young', is a notable addition to the 2022 Magic: The Gathering Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty set. Designed by artist Eric Deschamps, this Uncommon card belongs to the white mana color identity and functions as an Instant. With a mana cost of {3}{W} and a mana value of 4, it provides players with a flexible tactical option during gameplay. The card’s effect allows the player to target up to two creatures, granting each +2/+2 until the end of the turn. A unique conditional bonus applies if the player controls both an artifact and an enchantment; in that scenario, the affected creatures also gain lifelink until the end of the turn. This dual capability makes the card an interesting choice for decks that mix artifact and enchantment synergies. Collectors of Magic: The Gathering trading cards often seek out specific cards from the Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty set due to its distinct futuristic aesthetic and deep lore. The flavor text references the relationship between the Emperor and Kaito, adding narrative depth that appeals to fans of the series. Whether you are building a competitive deck or expanding your collection of rare and uncommon cards, 'When We Were Young' offers a compelling blend of mechanical utility and thematic storytelling.

Card Text
Abilities, attacks, oracle text, and flavor text printed on the card.
Up to two target creatures each get +2/+2 until end of turn. If you control an artifact and an enchantment, those creatures also gain lifelink until end of turn.
Since Imperial custom strictly forbade the Emperor to reveal her name—even to Kaito, her closest childhood friend—she had to suffer him calling her "your emperorness" for much of their shared youth.
