For awhile now, people have been able to look at patterns in standard card sets to predict the up and coming set themes and mechanics in the following set. My question is this: What cards in Shadows over Innistrad, Eldritch Moon, Kaladesh and Aether Revolt give hints as to what we might see in Amonkhet? Here are some theories currently being discussed:
-1/-1 Counters
- With the partial Liliana Planeswalker deck card spoiled, people believe -1/-1 counters may be making a return. It also fits with a lot of the Kaladesh and Aether Revolt cards that work with counters, but do not specifically mention the type of counters. I think Persist has a good chance of showing up, personally.
What are some cards that feel "Out of Place" but could tie into Amonkhet?
It probably won't - protection isn't likely to make a comeback.
Protection still exists, they just decided to make it decidious, I.e. it is a tool they can use, but it doesn't show up in every set or even every block.

It's about time for the reserved list to die, for the sake of Vintage and Legacy (And Commander).

Hence why I said "isn't likely". Just like Regenerate - which is being replaced with activated Indestructible - it's a tool they can use, but it causes confusion with new players so it's not likely without a reason.

Except Protection isn't being replaced. (also, I loathe the new "indestructible until end of turn" because it doesn't have the interaction that regenerate has. Oh, you regenerated your creature after it was dealt lethal damage, ok, then I'll just hit it with this burn spell.)

Artifact matters seems like a given following a well-artifact block, as well as the recurrent RW Equipment themes that've been running around since BFZ.

No, Artifact Matters was in Kaladesh. But we will likely get a few cards that work well with Kaladesh, likely a few really nice artifacts. Much like the Clue Tokens of Shadows over Innistrad worked well with Kaladesh's themes, we will likely get some mechanic or theme that works well with something from Kaladesh. I am thinking both Proliferate and Populate would work with what Kaladesh brings, but I am not certain either ability will show up in Amonkhet.

Could you imagine a Scrap Trawler for creatures?? That would make my day!!
It would make mine too :')
Other random wishlisting would be a functional reprint of Reshaper so i can run 8 and/or a CMC2 Reshaper effect (a 2/2 for 2 that shapes for CMC2?) and more CMC3 Walkers to reshape into
It looks like Amonkhet is shaping up to be a graveyard block. Too bad Emrakul was banned! Delirium could be getting a lot easier to achieve. Winding Constrictor can add brick counters, which is pretty funny.
You sir are a gentleman and a scholar. I can't wait till I can play my bicycle land out, thus making me heckbent, while I have Nessie on the field. You know, so I can attack with my Pervert.

Scrap Trawler, Trophy Mage and Treasure Keeper were all slightly promising but not entirely what i am hoping for
