- a popular Innistrad card gets reprinted — Delver of Secrets
- a curse that transforms into a creature — Curse of Leeches (Leeching Lurker)
- two permanents that can double something every turn — Unnatural Growth (Power/Toughness), Angelic Enforcer(Life total)
- a mythic cycle with “you may pay [COST] any number of times” — Bloodthirsty Adversary, Intrepid Adversary, Spectral Adversary, Tainted Adversary
