Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty’s Cloudsteel Kirin Will Keep You From Losing A Game

New creature equipment is just waiting to attach to a creature with hexproof.

Courtesy of Wizards of the Coast (WotC) and the MTG Discord channel, check out the latest Platinum Angel variant from Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty — Cloudsteel Kirin!

Equipped creature has flying and “You can’t lose the game and your opponents can’t win the game.”

Reconfigure 5

Platinum Angle is a beloved card from tournament halls to kitchen tables. What if it only cost three mana and could stop being a creature? Cloudsteel Kirin is the latest take on cards that keep you from losing and your opponents from winning. For three mana you have a more fragile creature, but also an evasive threat that can sidestep creature removal altogether.

A reconfigure cost of five is a bit pricy and a big commitment during your main phase, but the payoff is substantial if you can equip a tough-to kill creature with it. While the creature form of Cloudsteel Kirin doesn’t grant you the ability, by being payable in installments you can get the effect earlier than usual.

So what do you think of Cloudsteel Kirin? What creature do you most want to suit up with it?
