Other

  • The Insect token used with Xira, the Golden Sting depicts another Eumidian.
  • Serra Paragon, with the rules before release, does not exactly work as planned. The intent of the reanimation ability was that the returned permanent could be reused once and exiled once it dies. However, the phrasing made it so that when cast the "exile" ability exists only on the stack, and when the permanent resolves it should theoretically lose said ability as a new object on the battlefield. The rules were modified upon release to address this.
  • The Painlands had the unusual 6-4 split due to an unusual set of circumstances. Ironically, despite being on Dominaria, The Brothers' War's timeframe had not yet dubbed three of the lands in Adarkar, Karplusan and Yavimaya, so they could not be printed in that set. As these were mixed allied and enemy, and missing black, Caves of Koilos and Sulfurous Springs would make up the rest. This would normally leave two sets of redistributed cycles, but Play Design found Shivan Reef important enough to need printing a set earlier. As the five printed were already mismatched between ally and enemy, it was approved to do so, resulting in the odd split[4].
