*<c>Blood Knight</c> is a mirror of <c>Black Knight</c>; it also refers to <c>White Knight</c>.  Blood Knight was the placeholder name for the [[Scourge]] set's <c>Silver Knight</c>.
*<c>Fa'adiyah Seer</c> refers to <c>Sindbad</c>. Its name refers to [[Fa'adiyah]] the forest on the plane of [[Rabiah]].
*<c>Keen Sense</c> refers to <c>Curiosity</c>.  Keen Sense represents a moment in the [[Exodus]] storyline that could only have occurred had things transpired between Mirri, Crovax, and the dark [[angel]] [[Selenia]] very differently.
*<c>Ovinize</c> refers to <c>Humble</c>. The sheep art also refers to <c>Ovinomancer</c>, who has the ability to turn creatures into sheep.
*<c>Porphyry Nodes</c> refers to <c>Drop of Honey</c>.  Porphyry Nodes is a near-anagram of "<c>Drop of Honey</c>." This hearkens back to a time when Magic names used near-anagrams more often. For example, "<c>Onulet</c>" is a near-anagram of "<c>Soul Net</c>," so named because of its [[life]]-gain ability.
*<c>Primal Plasma</c> refers to <c>Primal Clay</c> and is the only card timeshifted from an artifact.
*<c>Riptide Pilferer</c> refers to <c>Headhunter</c>.  Riptide Pilferer depicts a [[merfolk]] spy lurking under the docks of the [[Riptide Project]], the [[wizard]]s' laboratory off the coast of [[Otaria]] where [[cephalid]] and [[human]] mages traded secrets and replicated slivers.
*<c>Seal of Primordium</c> refers to <c>Seal of Cleansing</c> (mechanic, artist, flavor text) and <c>Gauntlet of Power</c> (art).<ref>{{DailyRef|arcana/seal-primordium-2007-03-21|Seal of Primordium|[[Wizards of the Coast]]|March 21, 2007}}</ref>
*<c>Stingscourger</c> has a jellyfish on the end of his staff. This is an allusion to the classic <c>Man-o'-war</c>, which has the same enter-the-battlefield ability as the goblin.
