Previewed storylines
- Ghostfire - Its flavor text mentions Ugin, the Spirit Dragon, who is later revealed to be one of the planeswalkers that imprisoned the Eldrazi on Zendikar, and the twin of Nicol Bolas. Few pieces of flavor text have inspired more future story.[14][3]
Other futureshifted cards
- Cards that introduce new keywords but are otherwise usual: Arcanum Wings[2], Darksteel Garrison[2], Fleshwrither[2], Frenzy Sliver[3], Homing Sliver[3], Logic Knot, Lymph Sliver[3], Mesmeric Sliver[3], Quagnoth[1], Snake Cult Initiation[1], Spin into Myth[1], Thornweald Archer[1], Vedalken Æthermage[1]

- Normal abilities with unusual costs: Deepcavern Imp[2], Edge of Autumn[2], Henchfiend of Ukor[3], Shah of Naar Isle[1], Skizzik Surger[1], Whip-Spine Drake[3], Street Wraith[1].
- Bloodshot Trainee - Has an ability dependent on its own power being above a certain number.
- Bonded Fetch - Defender with haste; a failed experiment into giving blue haste with noncombat applications.[2]
- Bound in Silence - First Tribal type card.
- Bridge from Below - An enchantment that only has abilities while in the graveyard.[2]
- Centaur Omenreader - Reduces creature spell costs, as long as it is tapped.[2] It has the Snow type.
- Daybreak Coronet - Introduces lifelink, Enchant creature with another aura attached to it.[2]
- Dryad Arbor - Land creature.[2]
- Emblem of the Warmind - An aura that affects all creatures you control.[2]
- Imperiosaur - 'Muraganda' plane native, card dependent on basic lands.[3]
- Imperial Mask - Enchantment that copies itself to each teammate you have. Ostensibly suitable for multiplayer games, but lack of teammates in most formats limits usefulness.[15][3]
- Muraganda Petroglyphs - 'Muraganda' plane native, card that supports Vanilla creatures.[3]
- Nacatl War-Pride - Creature that replicates itself depending on how many defenders there are.[3]
- Narcomoeba - Pseudo-madness ability that allows it to be put onto the battlefield when sent from the library to the graveyard.[3]
- Nix - A cheap but rather niche counterspell against spells that were played for no mana.
- Phosphorescent Feast - Card that gets more powerful when there are more green mana symbols in your hand's cards, an ability that became Eventide's chroma and Theros's devotion.[1]
- Ramosian Revivalist - A Rebel puller that uses the graveyard instead of the library.[1] References Ramos.
- Sarcomite Myr - An artifact that costs colored mana to cast (see colored artifacts).[1]
- Seht's Tiger - Flash creature that gives you protection from the color of your choice the turn it enters the battlefield.[1]
- Shapeshifter's Marrow - A Clone variant which copies a creature not yet on the battlefield.[1]
- Spellweaver Volute - Enchants an instant card in the graveyard.[1]
- Spellwild Ouphe - A card that reduces the cost of spells that target it.[1]
- Sporoloth Ancient - Creature that can only put spore counters on itself, but gives the spore counter removing ability (but at a better rate to the standard) to every creature.[1]
- Storm Entity - Creature with the storm-like ability to gain +1/+1 for each spell previously played on this turn.[1]
- Tarmogoyf - Introduces (by way of reminder text) the Planeswalker and Tribal card types.[1]
- Thunderblade Charge - Sorcery that can flashback itself indefinitely whenever you deal combat damage.[1] Strongly influenced by Hammer of Bogardan.
- Yixlid Jailer - Cards in the graveyard lose all abilities.[1]
