What it does
Up to two target creatures each get +2/+2 until end of turn. If you control an artifact and an enchantment, those creatures also gain lifelink until end of turn.
Since Imperial custom strictly forbade the Emperor to reveal her name—even to Kaito, her closest childhood friend—she had to suffer him calling her "your emperorness" for much of their shared youth.

Where it came from
When We Were Young was released in 2022 as part of the Kamigawa: Neon Dynasty set for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. This set marked a return to the plane of Kamigawa, shifting the aesthetic from traditional Japanese folklore to a vibrant, cyberpunk-inspired future. The card serves as a narrative piece, reflecting the set's central themes of memory, technology, and the intersection of spirit traditions with modern urban life.
The card features artwork by the illustrator Lie Setiawan, who utilized a delicate and evocative style to capture the nostalgic essence of the scene. The design was intended to emphasize the emotional weight of the card's effect, which allows players to revisit past interactions within the game mechanics. Upon its release, it was noted for its thematic resonance with the set's focus on the passage of time and the legacy of the characters inhabiting this futuristic reimagining of Kamigawa.
