Here's what they look like. The back is blank, besides the card name and artist.
Ah, so these aren't actually full art cards. Just snazzy little promos. Still, sounds pretty cool even if they aren't quite what I thought.

maybe it gets used in decks that tutor it into play
MH1 - Force of Rage; Goatnap; Cloudshredder Sliver

Red force is for... blocking? I guess for when you seem to leave your defenses down with a full attack.
Callback to Goatnapper and Skyknight Legionnaire

This is also close to being strictly better than Ball Lightning if you just cast this normally on your own turn. Good on offense and on defense.

Thinking about it, the idea is for it to be a good(?) aggro card that you can use defensively in a pinch without paying mana.
can't say I'm a huge fan of giving all these previews to people who clearly don't even read the card they're previewing
Man... That Mox hurts my soul. The only useful thing I can think of doing with it is somehow putting it into play with like Tezzeret, the Seeker or something similar.

Yeah. It's one thing to do this for Standard sets, but for this set, I'd want the reaction to Goatnap to at least be, "Oh, this is a reference to Goatnapper."
I think it's to save your life in a mirror or something. Clearly the primary goal is to hard cast.
I don't see many decks playing Ball Lightning right now and I can't imagine going to two bodies will change that.
Man, Modern Horizons seems really fun. I don't have much time to go to an LGS for games but this really makes me wish Arena was going to have these cards. Maybe once Arena's eternal format, whatever that ends up being, is implemented future MH sets will be released?
Pretty jealous seeing all the new cards I can't play with. I'm guessing a lot of the fun looking cards like the bear lord are actually crappy in the format but it's crazy seeing how much more powerful some of this stuff is than what would be allowed in Standard.
Edit: Just to clarify, I understand Ayula isn't a "lord," but you get what I mean.

Yeah MH is pretty awesome. I think it's gonna be my first non-standard prerelease. Hope I pull some good cards for EDH
MH1 - Hexdrinker (?); Hollowhead Sliver; King of the Pride; Plague Engineer; Winds of Abandon
I thought about going to a pre-release but ultimately decided against it. I did UMA and got burned badly. This is cheaper at $30, but only really breaks even if I win the whole thing. Just doesn't seem worth it.
Back to the good stuff...level up is back!
Hexdrinker
Level Up 1
LVL3-7 Protection from instants
LVL8+ Protection from everything
Not a bad card.
A lion lord!
Mean tribal hate. This goes into all of your casual black decks for when your friends play elves or goblins.
Cyclonic Rift had a baby with Path to Exile. Kinda risky, honestly. Not sure I'd want to run this.

Then you are not playing correctly. You should 90% of the time pitch your PW to Momir. Only very few are worth casting above a random Momir creature (those with card advantage specifically). So having no good PW is not really meaningful at all.
MH1 - Wrenn and Six
That is a way better 2 mana walker than Tibalt
My only complaint about it is that they really should have put the retrace reminder text on this- I bet if you went to the Pro Tour, less than 25% of the participants could tell you what Retrace does off the top of their head correctly. It's not like they are lacking space on the card

That PW seems really good, ticks up for instant card advantage. Hopefully enables some fun attritiony lands deck. Worst-case scenario it's a fun cube addition.
If the cycle lands are in the set then this card could be really good.
A 2CC walker that doesn't suck. Nifty!
I bet most pros know what retrace does.
For those who don't: you can recast spells with retrace from your graveyard by pitching a land as an additional cost. What's awesome about that is that the spell doesn't get exiled, so you just keep doing it forever.

They don't, but usually Planeswalkers have the mechanic of the set they are in if they have a mechanic. Tezzerett Master of the Bridge is the big exception to this.
Does this ability work in EDH? Isn't part of "dies" that it has to hit the GY, and the Command Zone move prevents that?
It's possible the emblem will have the reminder text
It's possible they changed it for WAR. But regardless I don't think I've seen it on a mythic PW.

I don't think any WAR planeswalker had a keyword? Domri in RNA didn't explain Riot, though.
It does not. Making him, well, not a great commander actually.

Seems like a strong finisher for white in EDH personally, very strong. One sided board wipes are absurdly powerful in Commander.
MH1 - Fallen Shinobi; Sling-Gang Lieutenant; Battle Screech; Farmstead Gleaner

Reminder text on mythics is more a matter of whether they have space for it.
Plague Engineer is a reference to Engineered Plague, and Carriers are a classic Phyrexian type, the most well known being Phyrexian Plaguelord. Oddly, no creature with "carrier" in their name is a carrier. Reveal article.
The Wrenn and Six reveal article mentions that Six is a treefolk that acts as a mech-like vehicle for Wrenn, who is symbiotically linked to it. Six is the "sixth treefolk", whatever that means. No genders are given.
Fallen Shinobi reveal
This was going to be a reprint of Silent-Blade Oni, but they decided people would want all the ninjas to be new, plus they wanted it to maybe see Modern play.
Reference to Siege-Gang Commander, of course.
Reprint of
First time UNTAP has appeared with +1/+1 counters. Also, Reaper King buyouts totally vindicated.

Battle Screech common what the heck? Did they not take any lessons from Vintage Masters?
At least it should be playable in cube as a more efficient Hellspark Elemental.
If you're using it defensively by pitching another burn card, you've already lost.

It's uncommon, the English version I posted is from Vintage Masters.
Except if you block an attack and win the next turn

Harrow on a stick, that doesn't force you to sacrifice on cast. Plus, elf.
