MaRo's Modern Horizons 3 Teaser

The amount of leaks for this set led to Mark Rosewater refraining from doing his usual teaser.[1][2]

Callbacks

As an ode to the history of Magic, many cards in Modern Horizons 3 and MH3 Commander make references to older cards.[3]

Main set

Card Inspired by Notes
Accursed Marauder Fleshbag Marauder Each player sacrifices a creature to this Zombie Marauder.
Aerie Auxiliary Expedition Raptor
Joraga Auxiliary
Auxiliary Bird that Supports 2.
Aether Spike Force Spike A Force Spike scalable with energy.
Amphibian Downpour Turn to Frog Turn to Frog with Storm, flavored as a literal storm.[4]
Arcbound Condor Clockwork Condor
Arcbound Crusher etc.
A combination of the Mirrodin artifact creature archetypes.
Archway of Innovation Inspiring Statuary Permanents that grant Improvise. The three figures of the Statuary are artistically reflected by the archway and the aether skytrails.
Argent Dais Oblation Argent Dais's playtest name was "Oblation Station".[5]
Ashling, Flame Dancer Ashling the Pilgrim
Omnath, Locus of Creation
Omnath, Locus of Mana
Follows the three-fold trigger system of Creation Omnath and the mana-storage of Mana Omnath; her original card also had a third-trigger effect.
Basking Broodscale Basking Rootwalla Basking Lizards with {1}{G} single-pump effects.
Birthing Ritual Birthing Pod A more restricted version of Birthing Pod that doesn't cost life or mana.
Boggart Trawler Bojuka Bog Land and graveyard hate on the same Bog, but the Trawler is a spell of itself rather than the land's ability.
Brainsurge Brainstorm For two more generic mana, draw an extra card compared to Brainstorm.
Bridgeworks Battle Clackbridge Troll
Tanglespan Lookout
Eldraine troll taking up new residence.
Burnwillow Clearing Grove of the Burnwillows Creative callback to the land that contributed to Punishing Fire's banning in the format
Chthonian Nightmare Recurring Nightmare Return-to-hand reanimation enchantments, now gated by an energy cost. "Chthonian" means "dwelling beneath the surface of the earth", "infernal" or "being of the underworld".
Collective Resistance Collective Effort
Collective Brutality
Collective Defiance
The Green member of the "Collective" mega cycle of rare Escalate sorceries started in Eldritch Moon
Colossal Dreadmask Colossal Dreadmaw A living weapon version of the Dreadmaw, expanding on the meme.
Consuming Corruption Corrupt
Tendrils of Corruption
Another smaller version of Corrupt, one nearly strictly better than the previous iteration, given one would need many Swamps to play such a card.
Corrupted Shapeshifter Primal Clay, Primal Plasma An Eldrazi take on Primal Clay (and consequently, Primal Plasma).
Cranial Ram Cranial Plating A multicolored Living weapon version that also increases toughness with a slightly higher equip cost. The Living Weapon ability replaces the instant speed attaching ability.
Depth Defiler Bearer of Silence
Vile Redeemer
During Oath of the Gatewatch, several Eldrazi had pay-colorless cast triggers akin to Kicker, which Depth Defiler hence uses more literally.
Disciple of Freyalise Disciple of Bolas Similar artwork, Disciple in name, and abilities are nearly identical save for optionality.
Drowner of Truth Drowner of Hope Blue Drowner Eldrazi that come with two tokens.
Eldrazi Ravager Deathless Behemoth 6/6 Eldrazi that return themselves by sacrificing two others; while of different lineages, both feature the front ribcage body design.
Emrakul, the World Anew Emrakul, the Promised End Iterations of Emrakul that take control over minds, with similar protection effects. Having Madness reflects the use of Madness in Shadows over Innistrad block.
Emrakul's Messenger Faerie Vandal| {1}{U} Flying Faerie Rogues that reward drawing the second a turn; both have rhyming iambic flavor texts.
Envoy of the Ancestors Abzan Battle-Priest Abzan-aligned Lifelink granters with Outlast.
Essence Reliquary Portal of Sanctuary Artifacts with tap abilities that save permanents and your Auras attached to them.
Etched Slith
Hexgold Slith
Slith Ascendant etc. New sliths that reflect the fate of Mirrodin and New Phyrexia.
Etherium Pteramander Pteramander An Esper Pteramander; trades caring for instants and sorceries for artifacts controlled.
Eviscerator's Insight Deep Analysis (Torment) Draw-two cards with Flashback. Whereas Analysis depicts a Manticore, the Inight features Solemn Simulacrum.
Evolution Witness Eternal Witness 3-mana green 2/1 Witnesses that return cards from the graveyard.
Faithful Watchdog Watchwolf {G}{W} 3/3 watch-canines.
Fanatic of Rhonas Rhonas, the Indomitable A disciple of Rhonas, both with Ferocious; adding mana helps Rhonas's trample ability.
Fangs of Kalonia Kalonian Hydra Counter doublers from Kalonia.
Fell the Profane Hero's Downfall Same effects with identical yet opposite flavors.
Fetid Gargantua Phyrexian Gargantua
Night's Whisper
Gargantua that draw two cards; flavor text anthropomorphizes the night.
Flare of Cultivation Cultivate A slightly more complex-costed Cultivate with an alternate cost.
Flare of Denial Counterspell
Cancel
A slightly more expensive Counterspell with an alternate cost. Also strictly better than Cancel, Counterspell's standard replacement, due to all the variations better than Cancel.
Flare of Duplication Reverberate A slightly more expensive Reverberate with an alternate cost.
Flare of Fortitude Teferi's Protection A slightly more expensive Teferi's Protection with an alternate cost that swaps the permanents phasing out with giving them hexproof and indestructible.
Flare of Malice Soul Shatter A slightly more expensive Soul Shatter with an alternate cost.
Frogmyr Enforcer Myr Enforcer
Frogmite
Adding prototype, allowing for the larger Myr Enforcer half to be cast as the smaller red Frogmite half.
Furnace Hellkite Furnace Dragon
Hellkite Igniter
A 5/5 Flying Dragon with Affinity for Artifacts, like the Furnace Dragon, but has a form of firebreathing and costs {5}{R}{R} like the Igniter.
Galvanic Discharge Lightning Bolt
Harnessed Lightning
Damage for {R}. Bolt with set mechanic: scalable with Energy.[6] Strictly better than the previous energy damage spell.
Genku, Future Shaper Nashi, Moon Sage's Scion
Meloku of the Clouded Mirror
Tamiyo's husband, with the rat representing Nashi. The Moonfolk of Kamigawa block all had return-land abilities, something particularly powerful with Genku.
Ghostfire Slice Ghostfire Blade
Ghostfire
Ugin's damaging magic. Has a discount clause like the Blade but is focused on the opponent rather than the player. Artwork features the same invisible blade outline. Incidentally, the 4 damage kills Morphs equipped with the Blade.
Glasswing Grace Gift of Orzhova
On Serra's Wings
Hybrid {W}{B} Flying and lifelink Auras that feature stained glass wings. Flavour text references Serra.
Gravedig Gravedigger For half the cost, it provides either the Gravedigger body or its ETB effect. Paying the entwine cost as well is basically casting a Gravedigger. The art depicts the titular Gravedigger still digging a grave prior to getting a body.
Grim Servant Grim Tutor
Vile Entomber
Tutors that cost 3 life to find a card. Also a 4MV Zombie Warlock that tutors upon entry.
Grist, the Plague Swarm
The Hunger Tide Rises
Grist, the Hunger Tide In addition to being the same character, the +1 ability creates an Insect and gets a bonus for milling a particular quality, and the ultimate is based on the creatures in its controller's graveyard. The Saga creates enough creatures to search for Grist on the last chapter, due to Grist's passive ability.
Guide of Souls Soul Warden
Soul's Attendant
Another in the series of one-mana creatures that gain life when creatures enter.
Harbinger of the Seas Magus of the Moon
Tide Shaper
A colorshifted version of the effect, with a denser mana cost but is a Merfolk, a race known for turning lands into Islands and using Islandwalk.
Horrific Assault Prey Upon (Eldritch Moon) Green's one-mana common interactive spell featuring The Travails.
Inspired Inventor Glint-Sleeve Artisan {2}{W} 2/2s that have fabricate, with the Inventor having bonus options.
Invert Polarity Odds//Ends Multicolored Izzet spells that affect cards on the stack on the flip of a coin.
Kami of Jealous Thirst Thirst for Meaning
Thirst for Knowledge
Thirst for Discovery
The type-cycle of blue draw spells all draw three cards, triggering the discount.
Kozilek's Unsealing Sarkhan's Unsealing
Emrakul's Influence
Cards that promote playing big numbers. Kozilek's Unsealing takes its name and trigger numbers after Sarkhan's Unsealing, but focuses on mana value like Emrakul's Influence (who is Kozilek's fellow Eldrazi titan), except being able to work with any creature type instead of just Eldrazis.
Kozilek, the Broken Reality Kozilek, Butcher of Truth Resolving the Broken Reality's trigger in full would give the four cards from the Butcher's cast trigger.
Kudo, King Among Bears Ayula, Queen Among Bears By turning other creatures into Bears (both the type and as 2/2 creatures), Kudo's effect supports Ayula, his consort.
Legion Leadership Double Cleave
Boros Charm
A strange way to produce most of double strike's effect.
Lion Umbra Daybreak Coronet Auras that can only enchant other enchanted creatures - they grant +3/+3 and Vigilance, amongst other things, for CC. Additionally, the Coronet depicted a leonin, making a Lion an appropriate animal for the Umbra.
Mandibular Kite Skinwing The Machine Orthodoxy's response to an older Living weapon design, which players would agree to be significantly stronger.
Marionette Apprentice Marionette Master An Apprentice to the Master, both being Black Fabricate Artificers that drain when artifacts are put into the graveyard.
Mogg Mob Mogg Fanatic Three Mogg Fanatics in one. Continuing the Modern Horizons trend of stapling three creatures together.[7]
Necrodominance Necropotence A legendary version of Necropotence with new design templating: restricting the size of your hand to five, using one trigger instead of stepped payments, and exiling directly rather than triggering from the graveyard.[8]
The Necrobloom Grave Bramble
Field of the Dead
Both cards reference the video game Plants vs. Zombies, designed by George Fan. Has the seven-name clause for making zombies like the Field.
Nethergoyf Tarmogoyf A colorshifted version of Tarmogoyf that only cares about its controller's graveyard to balance its cheaper cost. It also refers to Delirium in its Escape cost without using the ability word.
Nulldrifter Mulldrifter An Eldrazi version of Mulldrifter with a higher cost but with added Annihilator. You draw cards when the card is cast, as opposed to when the creature enters the battlefield like other Eldrazi triggers.
Null Elemental Blast Red Elemental Blast
Blue Elemental Blast
A colorless version of previous elemental blasts that targets multicolored cards as its opposite.
Ocelot Pride Attended Healer Both create 1/1 white Cat creature tokens on gaining life, and both depict ocelots in their art.
Pearl-Ear, Imperial Advisor Light-Paws, Emperor's Voice
Opal-Eye, Konda's Yojimbo
Another Fox in the service of the Kamigawan royalty, with a similar Aura-focus to Light-Paws.
Phlage, Titan of Fire's Fury Uro, Titan of Nature's Wrath
Kroxa, Titan of Death's Hunger
A third Elder Giant, the first White one; has coordinated escape costs, size, and entry effects.
Powerbalance Counterbalance CC Enchantments that match mana values on top of the library for a certain result.
Primal Prayers Aluren Enchantments that let a player cast cheap creatures without mana but rebalanced by requiring energy.
Psychic Frog Psychatog A frog version of Psychatog with a more permanent stat boost on its discard ability, a saboteur ability that draws a card, and exiling an extra card from the graveyard for a temporary flying ability instead of a stat boost.
Pyretic Rebirth Terminate (Planeshift) Darigaaz's original fate in Invasion block was to throw himself into a volcano, which this art reflects. Notably, Darigaaz Reincarnated was hatched as an egg, not reanimated.
Quest for the Necropolis Quest for the Gravelord
Soul Stair Expedition
Naming scheme of one with the Landfall condition and graveyard recursion of the Expedition. It uses a cost reduction mechanic to give it better late game power.
Ral, Leyline Prodigy Electrolyze Ral casts the iconic Izzet spell if one controls another blue permanent.
Ral and the Implicit Maze Spellgorger Weird The Saga creates the Weird as a token, almost like conjure.
Retrofitted Transmogrant Razorlash Transmogrant Black-aligned artifact zombie Transmogrants that return themselves with +1/+1 counter(s).
Rosheen, Roaring Prophet Rosheen Meanderer
Elementalist's Palette
A new iteration of Rosheen for {x}-decks; has a compressed version of the Palette's mana ability.
Scurry of Gremlins Heroic Reinforcements Haste-giving team pump effects with the same mana cost that create two 1/1 tokens.
Serum Visionary Serum Visions Serum Visions on a stick. For some reason, set on Ravnica instead of the plane that blinkmoth serum comes from.
Shadow of the Second Sun Sphinx of the Second Sun Same beginning-phase repeating ability, but now on an Aura.
Six Wrenn and Six
Wrenn and Realmbreaker
Six independent of Wrenn. Bestow Retraces on other cards and has a mill-and-return ability like Wrenn's third incarnation.
Skoa, Embermage Fireblast Fireblast on a stick, and can turn additional copies of itself into more copies of Fireblast via grandeur. The drafting incentive is referenced in the flavor text with "kindling".
Snow-Covered Wastes Wastes The same colorless basic land, but with added Snow supertype. Also a stab at Eldrazi Winter.
Solar Transformer Sphere of the Suns Replacing charge counters with Energy counters, and adding a permanent mana ability.
Sowing Mycospawn Reap and Sow An Entwine design modified into a kicker design; plays off the fact that nobody would play Reap and Sow for its land destruction option, so entwine was basically kicker.
Spawn-Gang Commander Siege-Gang Commander Eldrazi-fied Siege-Gang Commander.
Springheart Nantuko Scute Swarm Green 1/1 insects that can duplicate.
Strix Serenade Swan Song Same cost, same "bird-vocalisation" name, and creates the same token 2/2 blue Bird with flying, but swaps "instant, sorcery, or enchantment" with "creature, artifact, or planeswalker".
The Creation of Avacyn Reanimate
Entomb
A slow way to Reanimate or tutor anything.
Thief of Existence Skyclave Apparition
Thought-Knot Seer
A three-mana "polymorph" creature that hits things cheaper than 4 mana like the Apparition, but with the leaves trigger of Thought-Knot Seer.
Thriving Skyclaw Thriving Grubs
Wasitora, Nekoru Queen
Thriving red creatures on Kaladesh that grow with energy payments. Has a strong artistic resemblance to Wasitora, the original Cat Dragon of Magic.
Trickster's Elk Oko, Thief of Crowns
Kenrith's Transformation
An Elk that can turn other creatures into nondescript Elk, like Oko's ability. Bestow cost and flavor refers to the Aura that Oko cast in-story.
Tune the Narrative Attune with Aether One-mana common card-neutral spells that give two energy. "Attune Aether" can be found within "Tune the Narrative" as an anagram.
Warped Tusker Krosan Tusker Boar Beast Tuskers that cycle and generate a mana source when they do so.
Wrath of the Skies Wrath of God
Pernicious Deed
An Energy gated version of Deed, but with the naming convention and {W}{W} coloring of Wrath — "the skies" is often a metonym for deities.
Ugin's Labyrinth Sanctum of Ugin
Eye of Ugin
Lands associated with Ugin that deal with seven-or-greater-mana colorless spells.
Ugin's Binding Kozilek's Return
Cyclonic Rift
2C instants that "cast" a magnified version of themselves from the graveyard upon the casting of a seven-mana colorless spell. Additionally, the first ability on Ugin’s Binding is Cyclonic Rift, while its second ability is the same as Cyclonic Rift overloaded.
Ulamog, the Defiler Ulamog, the Ceaseless Hunger Ulamog's Battle for Zendikar incarnation, with its attack trigger as its cast trigger and its cast trigger as a ward cost.
Urza's Cave Urza's Power Plant, Urza's Mine, and Urza's Tower Enabler for Urzatron decks. Another card where the name matches the types.
Voidpouncer Skizzik Vaguely triangular shaped creatures that are 5/3s with Trample and Haste for 5 mana, but with different unkicked forms.
Vexing Bauble Nix
Void Mirror
Nix in Bauble form.
Volatile Stormdrake Gilded Drake Drakes that swap creatures, the Stormdrake using energy to restrict the mana value of the card that you get in return.
Warren Soultrader Phyrexian Altar Both can sacrifice creatures to create mana and feature life-and-death flavor texts.
Wastescape Battlemage Sunscape Battlemage Battlemages with separate blue and green kickers. Artistically intended to reflect a horse and rider, which three of the original cycle had.
Waterlogged Teachings Mystical Teachings
Enlightened Tutor
{U}{B} identity instant tutors. The artwork inverts Enlightened Tutor's by having the hand holding the book come from the bookcase side of withdrawing it.
Wheel of Potential Wheel of Fortune Paying energy instead of mana, allowing for fewer cards to be drawn and cards that are exiled to be played the same turn by the controlling player.
White Orchid Phantom Knight of the White Orchid
Ghost Quarter
The Knight, still a 2/2 First Strike for {W}{W}, now acting like a Ghost Quarter.
Wight of the Reliquary Knight of the Reliquary
Champion of the Perished (Champion of the Parish)
Undead/Reanimated version of the Knight. The wordplay brings to mind Champion of the Perished with Champion of the Parish.
Wing It Thieving Otter
Spontaneous Flight
The Otter was a prime target for a flying counter in Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths, as shown on the strictly better trick.
Winter Moon Winter Orb
Blood Moon
Narrows the Winter Orb effect down to non-basic lands as Blood Moon does, both prolific land-hate cards.
Witch Enchanter Disenchant "Which enchanter?" "Dis enchanter" wordplay.
