Set details

Modern Horizons III key art (Hydra Trainer)
“  Your New Favorite Cards  ”

Like Modern Horizons and Modern Horizons 2 before, this set introduces a total of 303 new cards into the Modern and Eternal formats without them ever being legal in Standard. It is considered to be a tentpole set for 2024.[5] This set contains 261 regular cards (80 commons, 101 uncommons, 60 rares, 20 mythic rares) and includes randomly inserted premium versions of all cards. New cards and in-Modern reprints are numbered #001-261, while the New-to-Modern reprints from the Bonus sheet are numbered #262-303. 25 of the new cards are double-faced (#237-261). Alternate card frames have another card number than the original version. Full-Art Eldrazi Basic Lands (including the Snow-covered Wastes) are numbered #304-309. The Bundle basic lands #310-319. Borderless Showcase "Frame Break" cards are #320-351, while borderless lands are #352-361, and the Showcase "Borderless Profile" cards are numbered #362-380. Borderless Concept Eldrazi are #381-383 and retro frame cards are #384-441. Borderless planeswalkers are #442-446. Cards with extended artwork are numbered #447-467. The textured foil borderless planeswalkers are #468-472, foil etched rares are #473-494, the Bundle promo is #495, and the Buy-a-Box card is #496. The ripple foil cards are #497-521. The serialized Titans have the same collector number as their regular variants (#381-383).[6]

Modern Horizons 3 was released on both Magic Online and MTG Arena.[2][7] It is only legal in Historic and Timeless on Arena.[8] Coinciding with its release, the name changes to Umbra armor (formerly Totem armor) and Kindred (formerly Tribal), announced over six months prior, were officially implemented.[9][10] Additionally, the Naga, Viashino, and Cephalid creature types were folded into the Snake, Lizard, and Octopus creature types, respectively (the second of which was announced by Mark Rosewater on his blog prior to being implemented).[11]

A substantial amount of cards of this set were leaked about seven weeks before its release, spurring Wizards of the Coast to quickly make them official spoilers.[12]

Storyline

The set was accompanied by some previously released Eldrazi stories.

Marketing

Modern Horizons 3 was the last set to be printed in the Portuguese language.[13] It is available in Play Boosters, Collector Boosters, the Modern Horizons 3 Bundle (also in Gift Edition), four Commander decks and a Collector's Edition of the Commander decks.

Serialized Eldrazi Titans

Serialized versions of the three borderless "concept Eldrazi" in double-rainbow foil may appear in Collector Boosters. The serialized total is 250 for each.[4][6]

Bonus Sheet

Modern Horizons 3 features a bonus sheet with new-to-Modern reprints.[6]

Special Guests

Main article: Special Guests

There are 10 borderless mythic rare Special Guests cards available in both Play Boosters (in non-foil) and Collector Boosters (in traditional foil). These are numbered SPG #39-48. The five Elementals also have textured foil versions exclusive to Collector Boosters (SPG #49-53).

Collector's Edition Commander Decks

Modern Horizons 3 features a special Collector's Edition of the four Commander Decks. In the Collector's Edition, all 100 cards are foil, and every deck contains two showcase Borderless Profile cards.[14][6]

Themes and mechanics

The set features new transforming double-faced cards that transform into planeswalkers, and new modal double faced lands.[2][10][16] It also sees the return of Energy and colorless mana costs as main themes.[17] A colorless retro frame is introduced for the latter.

Other recurring mechanics are Adapt, Affinity, Afterlife, Amass, Annihilator, Ascend, Bestow, Cascade, Collect evidence, Connive, Convoke, Delirium, Devoid, Devotion, Dredge, Emerge, Entwine, Escalate, Eternalize, Evoke, Evolve, Exert, Exploit, Extort, Fabricate, Flashback, Grandeur, Imprint, Improvise, Kicker, Landfall, Living weapon, Magecraft, Madness, Manifest, Mentor, Modified, Modular, Morbid, Outlast, Overload, Persist, Proliferate, Prototype, Reconfigure, Reinforce, Replicate, Revolt, Split second, Storm, Support, Threshold, Unearth and Vanishing. Umbra armor officially replaces Totem armor.[10]

There is also a new Quest.

Limited Archetypes

Modern Horizons 3 features the following limited archetypes:[17]

The set is also structured to allow the following three-color pairings to work well.[18] The remaining two options Black manaGreen manaBlue mana (big mana) and Red manaWhite manaBlack mana (sacrifice aggro) are rougher and less pronounced.

  • White manaBlack manaGreen mana: Modified
  • Blue manaRed manaWhite mana: Energy
  • Green manaBlue manaRed mana: Eldrazi

Card types

Modern Horizons 3 is the first set to feature a card printed with the Kindred card type (formerly known as tribal).[10]

The set sees the return of the colorless Eldrazi. It also features the first Slith in twenty years, and the first black-bordered Wombat in thirty years. In addition, it features the third Locus ever with Trenchpost.

Creature types

While Modern Horizons 3 doesn't introduce any new creature types to Magic, its release does mark the end of the Naga, Viashino, and Cephalid creature types. All were formally made obsolete and replaced with the Snake, Lizard, and Octopus creature types respectively. Additionally, the Cat type was retroactively added to dragons from Avishkar with cat-like features (namely Skyship Stalker and Freejam Regent).

Counter types

The set introduces the Everything counter for Omo, Queen of Vesuva. It also sees the return of Energy counters as a major theme, and Experience, Shield and Oil counters as well.

Cycles

Modern Horizons 3 has multiple cycles.

Notable cards

Banned and restricted cards

  • In the Pauper format update of May 13, 2024, Gavin Verhey noted that a common card in Modern Horizons 3 had a high likelihood of facing balancing action quickly after its release, as it was similar to an already-banned card.[21] Through the release of set spoilers, it became clear that the card in question was Cranial Ram, a card reminiscent of the then-banned Cranial Plating and All That Glitters. The Pauper Format Panel ultimately determined that the card would have a warping effect on upcoming Pauper tournaments and decided to pre-ban the card on June 6, 2024.[22]
  • According to the designers of Modern Horizons 3, Nadu, Winged Wisdom underwent a design revision shortly before the set was shipped. Because of this, the design team did not anticipate the power of its synergy with 0-mana activated abilities, such as that of Shuko. This resulted in decks built around Nadu dominating at Pro Tour Modern Horizons 3. They contained a powerful combo that generated infinite mana and drew through the deck, were resilient to interaction, and took extremely long turns; frustratingly, the combo couldn't be shortcut because it required constantly creating new targets for Nadu to "refresh". As a result, Nadu was banned in Modern on August 26, 2024, and a companion article was released by Wizards noting that it was a design mistake.[23][24] Later, on September 23, 2024, it was also banned in Commander for creating long, non-deterministic combos.[25]
  • Vexing Bauble is another hate piece against manaless strategies, which is generally acceptable for formats other than Vintage, where it turns into a prison piece instead. The fact that it can be sacrificed for value largely on demand meant it was ultimately asymmetrical and hence too free of an inclusion; it was restricted in August 2024.[23] However, the suppression of free countermagic in Legacy also became a problem, forcing a ban in December 2024.
  • Amped Raptor acts like an energy-cascade callback, with the 2/1 body being generally low impact afterwards. However, with enough energy it becomes a way to cheat mana, making it problematic for Modern as Boros Energy became the biggest player. It was banned in December 2024 to weaken the deck alongside many other changes.
  • Psychic Frog is a Shadowmage Infiltrator-Psychatog mash-up, but being one mana cheaper, it was a powerful new piece for Legacy Reanimator. Ostensibly weaker to being blocked, Legacy had no shortage of cantrips that let it jump easily, giving it a fair game axis that made it harder to put enough hate against the deck. As Reanimator had plenty of strong starts that could only lose to strong and focused hate, the Frog covered those bases easily. As it also narrowed the colors to exactly Blue-Black, it was banned to give the format more space in December 2024.
  • Sowing Mycospawn calls back to Reap and Sow as a way to tutor for any land, which had competitive pedigree in the 2000s. However, making it an Eldrazi meant that it had access to mana from Eldrazi Temple and Eye of Ugin, making it an early two-for-one and can begin attacking lands from that point onwards. While Modern has it as a main player in their Eldrazi decks, Legacy Eldrazi uses it alongside Wasteland to double up on the land destruction effect, and with its toolbox tutoring made it capable of incidentally invalidating swaths of the metagame. It was banned March 2025 to give other long-game decks space to exist.
  • Basking Broodscale has an ability that marks it as an easy combo engine, where any trigger that gives it a +1/+1 counter from the action of generating or sacrificing an Eldrazi Spawn goes infinite. Modern has this deck with Blade of the Bloodchief, but Pauper also has one alongside Sadistic Glee. While the Modern deck put up modest results, the Pauper deck warped the metagame around it in addressing it. This combo was efficient enough that decks were forced to adapt to counter it or be forced out of the metagame, and thus Broodscale was banned to relieve pressure on other decks in March 2025.[26]
  • In MTG Arena, seventeen cards were preemptively banned from the Historic format for power balance reasons, plus Disruptor Flute being preemptively banned from Brawl.[27][27]
