Kamigawa is an expert-level Magic: The Gathering block inspired by Japanese myths and revolving around the battle between spirits (kami) and living beings. It consists of the expansion sets Champions of Kamigawa (October 1, 2004), Betrayers of Kamigawa (February 4, 2005), and Saviors of Kamigawa (June 3, 2005). Magic would later return to the Kamigawa setting with the expansion set Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty (February 18, 2022).[1][2]
