===The Hypothetical Future?=== ''Note: This section is pretty much just glorified fan conjecture based on observations.'' Every month or so, WoTC puts out a survey on their various social media channels to field the area on opinions on Magic. Usually, the survey has some generic questions about what is important to you as a Magic player. This is often paired with questions about the performance of the most recent set. This is normally not noticeable and usually has little impact due to how vague the questions tend to be. However, the November survey was the most oddly specific survey fielded by WoTC to date. Nicknamed the "Hypothetical Futures" survey, it asked players about a wide variety of questions regarding what may come in the future. Many of the questions asked players about their favorite Planes (Kamigawa was on the list), what makes that Plane your favorite, favorite Planeswalkers, speculative mechanics, favorite Anime/Manga, things like that. One of the most interesting questions asked a bevy of smaller questions about "How appropriate are the following elements for Magic?" which was almost completely filled with Sci-Fi tropes. AI, robots, drones, hacking, lasers, artificial limbs, megacorps, spaceships and more! This hints at a possible future set that is less fantasy and more sci-fi, a la [[Android: Netrunner]] (which WoTC owns). Obviously this is just speculation, and we won't have confirmation if they ever act on it until they do. '''Update''' A couple of months ago, there was [https://imgur.com/gallery/ubTItUv| another survey] which was directly pointed at [[Kamigawa]], showing several Planeswalkers and their descriptions from the plane. If you take a look through the album, you notice that it paints a much, much different version of Kamigawa; neon lights, crime syndicates, and laser-katanas. They not-so-subtly also added a question asking what the name of a hypothetical set based in a far-future version of Kamigawa should be, ranging from "Neo-Kamigawa" to "Destiny of Kamigawa." Two days from the time of writing, WoTC registered several new domain names through their usual channels in preparation. From this, we know the name of the future Kamigawa set: '''[[Shadowrun|Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty]].'''
