Crazy idea, but what if M19 had five mechanics aligned with enemy pairs, as a tie-in with the clans of Tarkir? Battle cry in RW would fit the Mardu, and it would work wonders with Sigiled Sword of Valeron. BG Morbid would fit Sultai, and Rebound has been seen in Ojutai and would work in UR.
MTGS Wikia Article about "New World Order"
Every time I read a comment about "Well if this card had card draw/trample/haste/indestructible/hexproof/life gain...", I think "You're missing the point." They're armchair developer comments that fail to take into account the card's role in the greater Limited and Standard environment. No, it may not be as good as whatever card you're comparing it to. There's a reason for that. Not every burn spell is Lightning Bolt, nor does it need to be or should be.
PSA to everyone who keeps forgetting about the Reserved List:
You're on a website dedicated to talking about MtG. You're only a few keystrokes away from finding out what cards are on the Reserved List. You're also only a few keystrokes away from finding out why some cards on the Reserved List got foil printings in FtV, as Judge promos, or whatnot, as well as why that won't happen again. Stop doing this.

I like this idea. What about Temur and Abzan though?

Temur being G/U I almost think it could be evolve although that's close to but not... quite... the flavor of rugged self-improvement they have.

Abzan, W/B... undying?
I'd almost go for a tweak on Fabricate, with the "+1/+1 counters or tokens" angle. Warrior or Spirit tokens? Since KoT block had a WB Warriors subtheme, Warrior tokens would work great for this proposed scenario. That would technically be a new keyword, but hey, Origins introduced Renown and Spell Mastery, so new keywords are an option.
As for Temur, Evolve did cross my mind, but that would be encroaching on Abzan's +1/+1 counter focus. Awaken fits the shamanic aspect, but it doesn't really capture the feel of the Frontier as a whole. Morph was the GU archetype of Tarkir, but as a core set mechanic it's a bit dubious.
Right now though, it's looking like none of those keywords are going to appear. Oh well, was a nice thought exercise.

If I buy a box I am guaranteed to get 3 of these in it. Yuck!

We knew that from Brimaz, King of Oreskos.
