• Feldon, Ronom Excavator is holding Feldon's Cane.
• This is the first set where Legendary characters (Urza and Mishra, to be specific) have had multiple incarnations in the same set. While Legendary characters often get new iterations in second or third sets in a block, this is unusual as mechanically, cards of the same character but not the same name have no relation to each other. This was previously done with Planeswalkers using Chandra in Core Set 2020, though having a planeswalker typeline makes them more connected.
