==Set details== [[File:SNC expansion symbol.png|right|thumb|Expansion symbol]] {{cquote|Family Means Business}} Public domain name registries for ''Streets of New Celesta'' were filed by a subsidiary registrar in October, 2020.<ref>{{WebRef|url=https://www.reddit.com/r/MTGRumors/comments/orr4hz/possible_upcoming_set_name_streets_of_new_celesta/|title=Possible upcoming set name: Streets of New Celesta|author=Venator61|date=July 26, 2021|publisher=Reddit}}</ref> A further registration with the gg domain was filed by [[Wizards of the Coast]] itself. After the name "New Celesta" appeared in a published vision design handoff document for [[March of the Machine]], Mark Rosewater confirmed on his blog that it had been the original name for New Capenna.<ref>https://markrosewater.tumblr.com/post/717435301491064832/hi-mark-so-i-just-read-the-second-part-of-vision</ref> The set contains 281 regular cards {{curmb|101|80|60|20|20}} and includes randomly inserted [[premium]] versions of all cards. The regular cards include 10 [[full-art]] "Metropolis" [[basic land]]s.<ref>{{DailyRef|feature/behind-scenes-streets-new-capennas-stylish-booster-fun-2022-04-07|Behind the Scenes of ''Streets of New Capenna'' Stylish Booster Fun|[[Clayton Kroh]]|April 7, 2022}}</ref><ref name="Collecting"/> Each type has two different pieces of art. Alternate [[card frame]]s have another card number than the original version. [[Borderless]] [[planeswalker]]s are numbered #282-284. Other borderless cards are #285-295. Each of the 45 three-color gold cards in ''Streets of New Capenna'' appears in the "Golden Age" [[Showcase]] treatment that evokes the aesthetics of the roaring and soaring city life of New Capenna. The art deco influence is felt in the frames of this treatment, which is paired with eye-catching gold. These are numbered #296-340. Four rares and five mythic rares —including the three mythic rare planeswalkers — appear in the "Art Deco" treatment, reimagining those cards as if they were on the cover of a fashion magazine (#341-349). Ten of the nonbasic lands appear in the "Skyscraper" treatment (#350-359). #360 is the Phyrexian-language {{card|Urabrask, Heretic Praetor||SNC|#=360}}. [[Extended artwork]] cards are numbered #406-440. #450-460 are the <c>Gala Greeters</c> box toppers. The [[Buy-a-Box]] card is #461 and the [[Bundle promo]] is #462. The dark frame treatment cards from the [[Universal promo pack]] are numbered #463-467. The "Concept Praetor" art of Urabrask, released with ''[[Phyrexia: All Will Be One]]'', is #468.<ref>{{DailyRef|announcements/a-first-look-at-phyrexia-all-will-be-one|A First Look at ''Phyrexia: All Will Be One''|[[Clayton Kroh]] and [[Adam Styborski]]|December 13, 2022}}</ref> All 45 Golden Age cards have a gilded version (#361-405). These "[[Gilded Foil]]" cards have the golden frame elements three-dimensionally embossed in gold atop a traditional foil card. As with other treatments, this embossing is smooth and legal for play in sanctioned ''Magic'' tournaments.<ref name="Collecting"/> [[Foil-etched]] versions of all nine "Art Deco" cards can be found exclusively in Collector Boosters (#441-449). ===Storyline=== [[File:Goddess of Speed.jpg|right|thumb|300px|SNC [[key art]]]] The set takes place in the [[Wikipedia:Art Deco|Art Deco]] metropolis of [[New Capenna]], a city that has both grit and glamour. It is a place built by [[angel]]s, but now ruled by five [[demon]]-led crime families battling for supremacy. The fragile alliances that foster peace between the families are being strained to a breaking point as the precious commodity [[halo]] seems to be running out and someone known as "[[Ob Nixilis|The Adversary]]" makes a power grab. Meanwhile, the planeswalker [[Elspeth Tirel]] arrives to investigate her past.<ref name="Showcase">{{DailyRef|feature/what-happened-magic-showcase-2021-08-24|What Happened In Magic Showcase 2021?|[[Adam Styborski]]|August 24, 2021}}</ref> Deep under the city, [[Urabrask|another outsider]] has his own plans. The cards that represent the [[Story Spotlight]]s in ''New Capenna'' are: {{columns-list|colwidth=15em| *{{card|An Offer You Can't Refuse||SNC}} *{{card|Daring Escape||SNC}} *{{card|Giada, Font of Hope||SNC}} *{{card|Hostile Takeover||SNC}} *{{card|Luxior, Giada's Gift||SNC}} *{{card|Meeting of the Five||SNC}} *{{card|Most Wanted||SNC}} *{{card|Murder||SNC}} *{{card|Revelation of Power||SNC}} *{{card|Structural Assault||SNC}} *{{card|Urabrask, Heretic Praetor||SNC}} }} Remarkably, some of these Story Spotlights have [[flavor text]] referencing events that aren't told in the Magic Story, or even depict events that contradict the Magic Story.<ref>{{YouTubeRef|AYjZb-_K9nY|Capennas Curious Card Contradictions|channel=The Magic Historian|date=April 25, 2022}}</ref> ====''Magic'' Story==== {{main|Magic Story}} {| class="wikitable sortable" |- !

This is because this set introduces the ''Magic'' IP versions of the 9 cards from the ''[[Secret Lair Drop Series: Stranger Things]]''. One in eight [[Set Booster]]s will contain one of these cards, while another one in eight set boosters will contain a different card from the List.<ref name="First Look">{{DailyRef|news/first-look-streets-new-capenna-where-family-means-business-2022-03-03|A First Look at Streets of New Capenna: Where Family Means Business|[[Adam Styborski]]|March 3, 2022}}</ref> The List is slightly smaller to accommodate this distribution. The [[Information below the text box]] of the [[rebranded]] cards has the special SLX set code and the SLD [[collector number]] that it equals to.<ref>{{YouTubeRef|WRPjFkOjmIA|Streets of New Capenna Prebeat|channel=[[Weekly MTG]]|date=March 4, 2022}}</ref> All rebranded cards have the same rarity as the original. The 58 other cards are rares and mythic rares are from ''Magic's'' history that complement the narrative and mechanical themes of the set. Among the new cards is a special non-foil {{card|Rafiq of the Many||Ala|#=250}} featuring new art and the ''Streets of New Capenna'' Golden Age treatment.<ref>{{DailyRef|feature/whats-new-on-the-list-for-streets-of-new-capenna|What's New on The List for ''Streets of New Capenna''|[[Wizards of the Coast]]|April 14, 2022}}</ref> This card notably lacks the [[planeswalker symbol]] in the lower left corner, and adds a new [[collector number]] (#250) to the ''[[Shards of Alara]]'' set.
