Champions of Kamigawa introduces several new mechanics to Magic as well as the first Legendary Enchantments and more Legends than in any set ever -- including Legends!
- Bushido - Creatures that follow the Japanese "way of the warrior" become bigger when they fight other creatures in combat.
- Flip Cards - How does a Legend become a Legend? In these cases, they're regular creatures who can achieve great things in the course of a Magic game, gaining new abilities and even new names and creature types.
- Soulshift - The Spirit creatures of Kamigawa can return from the dead when their compatriots die.
- Splice onto Arcane - This ability allows certain instants and sorceries to piggyback onto other spells to get their effect without losing the card.
