Cards that aren't in articles
Seems really good
Between this and the crab, I suppose "opponent threshold 8" is a thing.
Target opponent draws is better than the "each player draws" variant. Could be interesting if they play around with this more for Commander.
The variant is in an article, but not the regular version. This seems good.
It's Roguejitsu!
Squadron Hawk ability variant, seems good for Standard potentially.
This could be good.
Green rogue, interesting.
Seems really good. For Limited.
It's a bit tough to say if it becoming a land makes this worth playing.
Some more Expedition lands

Hellhound of Akoum - R

Landfall - Whenever a land enters the battlefield under your control, Hellhound of Akoum gets +2/+2 until end of turn.
0/1
It's red Steppe Lynx!
This is a big improvement over the usual Banisher Priest effect, since nowadays a ton of power is tied up in ETB abilities, which the token won't have. Plus, the old trick is back! While the Apparition's enters the battlefield ability is on the stack, you can flicker/sacrifice/etc. it. This will put the leaves the battlefield ability on the stack and it resolves first. With no exiled card, it does nothing. Then the ETB ability resolves and you exile an opponent's card with no chance of them getting anything back!

OK, summarizing story stuff.
magic.wizards.com
* Before the Eldrazi came to Zendikar, the Roil didn't exist. Thus, the Kor were able to establish an extensive society called Makindi (after its capital city), though it turned into an authoritative state. They built seven floating structures called Skyclaves to act and military and government centers.
* Over the course of centuries of the Roil and battles, all the Skyclaves fell. The article goes into detail for all seven, but one became the Sky Ruin of Emeria, guarded by the angel Iona.
* After Iona descended to fight the Eldrazi, she left the Sky Ruins unguarded. Following the defeat of the Eldrazi, explorers were free to explore the area without her interference and activated a magical defense system.
* In response, all the Skyclaves rose into the sky once again, whatever their state of ruin. Seven floating ancient ruins triggered a new age of exploration on Zendikar.
* The Skyclave ruins contain not just creatures that moved in when they fell, but ancient lab experiments.
* Tazri and Linvala the angel worked together to rally all expeditionary houses to reconstruct the Sea Gate.
* There is now a sixth expeditionary house, the Sea Gate Expeditionary House, founded by the first person to lead an expedition into the Sky Ruins after Iona left, a kor woman named Kesenya. Unknown to her, the secret benefactor funding the house is Nahiri.
* Many vampires died during the fight with the Eldrazi. Drana is the last of the original generation of vampires and the only bloodchief, thus the only one that can create new vampires. She seeks a way to create new bloodchiefs.
magic.wizards.com
* Nahiri is on Zendikar in Akoum, looking up at a newly arisen Skyclave.
* She was alive before the Roil and isn't used to expecting it to happen. There's an earthquake and she angrily uses her lithomancy to stop it.
* Nissa appears; Nahiri asked her to join her on this expedition. They talk about War of the Spark.
* Nissa points out Nahiri tried to destroy Innistrad. Nahiri whataboutisms back with Nissa freeing the Eldrazi.
* Nahiri is angry about the Roil and how sealing the Eldrazi ruined the plane. Nissa never knew a Zendikar without the Roil.
* Nahiri challenges her to a race up to the top. Nahiri is faster with her lithomancy, but the Roil happens again and her structures crumble. Nissa saves her from falling. Annoyed, Nahiri says they can just go up without racing.
* They reach the top. The ruins are huge; they used to house tens of thousands of Kor.
* Nissa is trying her best to make a connection with Nahiri. She thinks about what Gideon would do, and is reminded of his death. She goes ahead and asks Nahiri what they're looking for. She doesn't know exactly, but the stones will guide them.
* Nissa and Chandra breaking up in War of the Spark: Forsaken is still canon, FYI. Nissa doesn't want to think about her.
* Nahiri walks ahead and Nissa worries that helping Nahiri will only hurt Zendikar again. She thinks of Gideon: he'd help Nahiri, but he wouldn't blindly follow her.
* The Roil keeps causing the ruins to shake, reminding Nahiri of her failure to protect her home.
* They were moving silently, but when they reach a set of giant collapsed doors, Nahiri uses her powers to send them flying.
* They're then attacked by a large felidar, hairless with razor protrusions, indicating that it may be modified.
* Nahiri summons red-hot swords to attack it. Nissa fights with unexpected strength and summoned vines. Eventually, Nahiri kills it.
* They reach a big chamber and Nahiri can't figure out the way forward.
* Nissa summons an elemental, surprising Nahiri, and it leads the way. Being with the elemental makes her feel at ease.
* They notice a trap that will drop a big geopede on them. Nahiri says to have the elemental go fight it, but Nissa is upset about this. She sets a vine net under the geopede, has the elemental trigger the trap, and crushes the geopede with the vines. Nissa is surprised when Nahiri crushes the corpse with stone fists, but she says everything born on Zendikar is hard to kill. Nissa reflects that this applies to them too.
* They reach the heart of the Skyclave, where there's a glowing tile on a dais.
* Nahiri reads the ancient ruins, which say it's a lithoform core. Nissa is surprised she can read them, until she remembers how old Nahiri is.
* Nahiri takes it. It's really just a key; the lock is in Murasa's Skyclave. There's still a bit of power left in this chamber, however.
* The Roil happens again, and enraged, Nahiri uses the core's power to stop it. Fully, this time. The ruins also start knitting back together.
* Nissa is happy, until her elemental starts screaming.
* Nissa is horrified as the elemental crumples to ash. Nahiri is like, "Jesus, it was just a plant."
* Nissa reaches out with her powers and realizes that every other living thing in the ruins is dead now.
* Nissa thinks back to Gideon and realizes he wouldn't let this continue. Nahiri says that Zendikar is a shithole now, it used to be way better. Nissa responds she doesn't realize how wonderful Zendikar is now. She asks her to give her the key.
* In response, Nahiri attacks Nissa with swords. They fight until Nahiri creates a stone wall between them. Nahiri shouts that she's the guardian of Zendikar and she won't stand by as the plane tears itself apart. Nissa says she's Zendikar's guardian too.
* Thinking again about what Gideon would do, Nissa planeswalks away to get help.
* Nissa arrives on Ravnica. People are pretty upset at her for wrecking Vita-Ghazi during the fight with Bolas, with Jace's guard scowling at her.
* Jace is up on his bookshelves, and Nissa is too awkward to interrupt. When he finally notices her, he greets her warmly, to her surprise.
* Nissa tries to explain what happened, but Jace keeps interrupting with, "Hold on, I have a scroll about this somewhere," and such until Nissa forcefully tells him to stop.
* Nissa completes her explanation. Jace says they should bring the core to Ravnica to study it, but Nissa is insistent that they should destroy it and that Jace doesn't understand its danger. Jace insists back that they should hold on and think about this. Nissa is angry, and thinking about what Gideon would do, she thinks he would seize the moment. She goes back to Zendikar to handle this on her own before Jace can finish talking.
* Jace is left alone in the sanctum and reflects on how he could have handled that conversation better. He thinks about how he's already keeping the secret that Nicol Bolas is still alive from everyone else and wants to make up for that.
* He plans his trip to Zendikar.
I thought this story was pretty good. Both major characters are presented well.

Referencing a cycle from the original Zendikar block, not Nissa holding a convention.
Lullmage's Domain XUUU
Sorcery
This spell costs 3 less to cast if an opponent has eight or more cards in their graveyard.
Gain control of target creature with converted mana cost X.
Even at full cost, this is pretty good in Limited.
Pretty good. And versatile! Trigger landfall for yourself, or effectively tap an opponent's land in a pinch if they have no nonbasics. And it's a common, so if you draft a lot of them, you can do... something.
Great equipment. I guess it's confirmed that everything attaches on enter.

Here's the weirdo that makes opponents lose just by attacking. Note that your opponents gain a net life of 0.
Some Vampire Guy - 4BG
Legendary Creature - Vampire Rogue
Costs 1 less for each party member.
Flying, deathtouch, haste
Other creatures you control have deathtouch.
Whenever a creature you control deals damage to a planeswalker, destroy that planeswalker.
4/4
Just as a 4/4 flyer with haste without the cost reduction, this is pretty good.
Inscription of Abundance 1G
Instant
Kicker 2G
Choose one. If Inscription of Abundance is kicked, choose any number instead:
• Put two +1/+1 counters on target creature.
• Target player gain X life, where X is the greatest power among creatures the player controls.
• Target creature you control fights target creature you don't control.
Looks like a cycle. This one is eh.
Well, black can do literally everything I guess.
I'm not super happy that this exists. I'm sure cubes will be happy about it though.

OP
OP
Creature - Kor Warrior
4W: Creatures you control gain +1/+1 until end of turn.
1/2
Creature - Merfolk Cleric
When ~ blocks a creature, that creature can't untap during its controller's next into step
1/3
Creature - Elf Wizard
When ~ enters the battlefield, draw a card.
3/2
Relic Robber is interesting. And another case of a Goblin doing the opposite of the card name (giving the relic to someone else).
This could be good. The card not remaining in exile forever is on its own pretty significant.
Could be good.
Adding two mana to this is a lot, but generally Act of Treason effects are late game plays anyway.
Pretty good Hate Archon
Officially revealed
Skyclave Geopede; Yasharn, Implacable Earth; Roiling Regrowth; Vastwood Surge; Blood Beckoning; Vine Gecko; Adventure Awaits; Rockslide Sorcerer; Nimana Skitter-Sneak; Malakir Blood-Priest
OP
OP
Good aggro card
Legendary Creature - Elemental Boar
When this enters the battlefield, search your library for a basic plans and a basic forest, put them into your hand, then shuffle you library.
Players can't pay life or sacrifice non-land permanents to cast spells or activate abilities.
4/4
Cat Oven hate... oh wait. Also hoses fetchlands (they're lands, but you pay life to activate them).
Harrow, except it being countered doesn't hurt as much, but the lands enter tapped, so I guess it's a wash.
3B return two target creature cards from your graveyard to your hand is already a fairly reasonable spell when printed, so this is good for Limited.
Kicker Lizard - 1G
The first kicker spell you cast each turn costs (1) less to cast.
Whenever you cast a kicked spell, put a +1/+1 counter on CARDNAME.
2/2
This is an interesting variation, preventing you from failing completely.
Any target makes this really good.
Gary partying hard
OP

Strictly better Crushing Canopy, since it adds artifact.
Makindi Stampede - 3WW
Sorcery
Creatures you control get +2/+2 until end of turn.

(Tapped Land)
Another one where it's hard to say how good it is.
Even without kicker, this is the first one-mana "enchanted creature doesn't untap" aura without a caveat.

Instant Rare
If any opponent controls no basic lands, this spell cost {1} less to cast.
Destroy target creature.
---------------------------------------
Hagra Nest
~~~ enter the battlefield tapped.
tap: add{B}
Odd condition for the cost reduction, but I think it'll come up in constructed.

New 'Magic: The Gathering' Zendikar Rising card makes rocks fall, everyone dies
Well this looks perfectly safe.
mashable.com
People keep orienting the land side first in these previews and it annoys me. Looks like everything in this cycle is a late game play. This seems really good for RDW.
A haste hexproof can't be countered creature with power lower than its CMC and no trample? Unplayable.
Though this is two mana and a sorcery, 3 and 5 damage is probably a more significant set of damage than Burst Lightning's 2 and 4.
Kicker 2BB
Choose one. If ~ kicked, choose any number instead.
• Target opponent discards two cards from their hand.
• Return a creature with 2 or less cmc from your graveyard to the battlefield.
• Destroy target creature with 3 or less cmc.
Mode 1 is straight up Mind Rot. Looks really good (this is one of those cases where kicker will make people think it's worse than they would have without kicker).
Looks good. Note that you scry before the spell resolves.
This not having lifelink on its own or being able to target itself makes it much worse.
This is alright.
Seems good in a +1/+1 counter deck.
Cowards can't block Warriors! Interesting to see a charm-like activated ability.
Looks alright, though it'll usually be a last pick.
Sea Gate Restoration; Murasa Sproutling; Moraug, Fury of Akoum; Lithoform Blight; Phylath, World Sculptor; Magic Story - Red Route
OP
OP
Of the cycle revealed so far, I feel like this is least likely to see play.
Murasa Sproutling - 2G
Creature - Plant Elemental
Kicker 1G
When CARDNAME enters the battlefield, if it was kicked, return target card with kicker from your graveyard to your hand.
3/3
Seems good; 3/3 for 2G is already fine for Limited.
Just keep attacking forever. I can't think of another repeated combat step that allows multiples in a turn so easily.
Interesting. To be clear, this isn't super new territory for black, since it could always turn lands into Swamps. Neat that you can use it for mana fixing for yourself in a pinch.
This is also a story spotlight card.
This seems really good.

Look at the top X cards of your library, where X is three plus the number of creatures in your party. Put three in your hand, the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order.
This is alright.
minoke5618 asked:
So, there's an article around on Mashable that quotes you saying that Modal DFCs are also going to be in Kaldheim and Strixhaven. Just want to confirm that this is accurate information?
That quote is one hundred percent accurate. Note that each set will execute on MDFCs in a way that best fits the theme of that set.
September 04, 2020
One prediction I saw for Strixhaven is a simple spell on the front, then an advanced version on the back that you need to fulfill some threshold to be able to cast.

To be clear, it's very unlikely that Scale the Heights will see Constructed play, even with Uro gone.
Note you can put the counter on a turn 1 creature to haste it out. Alas, that creature with power based on party is also a cleric.

This is a really cool card, and a new mechanic for red. The dragon's solid on its own, but I wonder how the not losing mana ability will play out with other spells in your red deck. Will RDW want this?
Pretty good. Also the most complicated creature side for one of these modal cards we've seen, I think.

MaRo mentioned there were three creatures with five creature types. I assume the last will be an artifact creature.
