Callbacks
Other
- This set has a new way of sorting artifacts with a color identity where they are placed after the spells of that color. Coastal Bulwark is unusual in that while it clearly is maximized if played with Islands, it does not actually have a color identity, yet is placed in the blue category of artifacts all the same.
- Farid, Enterprising Salvager is the first eternal legal card to make tokens with no subtypes or abilities.
- Urza's, Mishra's, and Loran's multi-card cycles are the first time since Core Set 2020 that multiple cards of the same character are featured within a set.
