From the list, Snuff Out and Gempalm Incinerator stick out to me as the most likely to be in the set. The latter works with both the goblin and cycling themes, while the former is probably safer than Dismember since you need to be running black to cast it.
Wouldn’t snuff out end dismembers reign of strength in modern
Since snuff can be cast for 4 life and 0 rather than 4 life and 1
nah. dismember is useful to many decks that cant play typical removal (along with deaths shadow decks). snuff out also only hits non-black creatures

No, the non-black clause is a fairly big deal. Just a complete non-card against GDS and anything else trying to abuse Gurmag. 1 isn't a big deal, to be honest. Especially if it's keeping you safe from a reasonable part of whatever meta you're in.
just realized grindstone is still in the race. cmon i need this for no other reason than to spike my single masterpiece copy that i impulse bought for 25 bucks!

With Gilded Light a new Gerrard is crunched out...
So... Where are those new versions of old legendary creatures that needed fixing? Because apart from Sisasy, I don't see them.
EDIT: for the records, The First Sliver is not a new version of Sliver Queen and calling Urza, Lord High Artificer a fixed vwersion of Blind Seer is a stretch, but it is the closest thing to a fixed legenday character after Sisay.
Once it's uncommon, I'm hoping Sterling Grove will be reprinted
Oh, that'd be nice. The lack of (non-aura) enchantment tutors in Modern really perturbs me. Blue keeps on getting its artifact tutors (the * mage series, Whir of Invention), all enchantments get are Idyllic Tutor, which isn't even that good, nobody plays it competitively, and it STILL has climbed over a $30 price tag because it didn't get reprinted in ANY of the Masters sets.
Idyllic Tutor is damn too slow for modern. I really do not understand why it’s so expensive. We really need Sterling Grove or Enlightened Tutor... both are still possible.
I'd love Sterling Grove in this set, but while it hasn't been crunched out, I'm not very optimist considering the color pair balancing. In fact, with the new Heliod Land they just printed, it may be a bit too strong for Modern. But I'll keep dreaming with it!
I understand your point, but don't think Sterling Grove is too strong for Modern. The card is balanced because it makes you decide between "protection" to your enchantments or a way to tutor your enchantment (that won't have shroud). We know that in Modern time is everything. To make a combo where you keep bringing back Sterling Grove with the new land and tutoring other enchantments you would probably have to make an entire deck to support it. Many other powerful combos run faster and are totally viable in Modern (Academy ruins and the cards that tutor artifacts are there to prove it)... I really can't see why the new land and Sterling Grove can't coexist.
About the color balance of the set... I agree with you. However, we, as bogle players, have to keep dreaming that something useful for us will show up among the cards not spoiled yet.
Yeah, I agree it's not broken. I believe it is somewhere between "Strong, but fair for the format" and "A bit stronger than we would like, so we won't take the risk". While I don't think it is possible in this set, I still hope we'll see it in Modern Horizons 2 or something.
I have this feeling they are always more cautious with enchantments than with artifacts. Back to Nature right after Theros was a bit letdown.
But until every white and green card is revealed, I still hope for some Bogles love. A single, common or uncommon, low cost Aura is enough for us!
Also, I'd like to see Evasive Action or a Domain card in the set. Need to upgrade the Kitchen Table decks too

I would put money on land 237 being Evolving Wilds.

Hoping for either Wall of Blossoms and/or Wild Growth...most likely Wall is more plausible from a power-level perspective...but I’ll take either or both if they are still possible after today.

Smoke Shroud sounds like something in the Blinding Fog realm.
Smoke implies fire though. Makes me wonder if it's a GR card designed in the same style as Twisted Reflection - a G card with a mode that makes it better if R is spent. Like an R Overload, Entwine, Kicker, or Flashback cost.
