This Box is the most experimental I have done. Kamigawa is just about the worst set you can think of for the Battle Box format, because all its major mechanics are extremely reliant on synergy. However, to test how far I can push synergies with the Mini Battle Box format, I decided to give it a go. It’s not as good as a Box based on a set like Return to Ravnica or Khans of Tarkir, but it is playable and certainly qualifies as a change of pace.

I didn’t think there were any particularly good dual lands in the Kamigawa set, but I love the rare lands that provide some bonus to a legendary creature. Rather than give each player a full set of these fancy lands, the two land sets contain three sets of basics and one set of special lands in total. These lands are auctioned off at the start of the game. Players decide who gets to pick first, then take turns picking a special land. The player who picks the fourth land will also get the fifth one (to offset the downside of not picking first). When a player picks a land, the other player gets the corresponding basic land for their land set. There are a full 25 legendary creatures in this Battle Box, so don’t underestimate what these lands mean!

To allow for cards with three colored mana symbols to be played (and because you can never have too many spirits in a Kamigawa Box), I have also included a set of Forbidden Orchards.
