Magic The Gathering: Streets Of New Capenna Previews – Day Four Roundup
We're officially at the halfway point of Magic The Gathering's Streets of New Capenna previews. Today is the smallest day of the entire preview season, with just seven cards, but there are a few really interesting pieces here to make up for it.
Today, we have a potent new black lifegain piece, a long-overdue reprint, and the first equipment ever that attaches to Planeswalkers. We've also got some goofy-looking fish tokens with scary counter-copying capabilities. Here is everything announced on day four of the Streets of New Capenna preview season.

Two generic Artifact Creature – Wall:
