Especially since there is only one slot for a Sword before "Sword of Truth ...". So if we get the 5 swords, 3 of them would be after "Truth" in alphabetical Order. I guess we'll get one more at most !
1 colorless
1 Blue
2 white
2 green
1 red
0 black
2 multicolored
2 artifacts
Total 11!
What’s left is 2 black,
1 blue, and 1 red for a technical balance and 15 mythics. However as said they may add more This is Modern Horizons. It’s not a standard set and hey they put storm and all kinds of crazy mechanics they said they’d never print in standard. I can see us getting a few added swords. We will have to wait and see.
I was also wrong about my prediction with a Mythic legendary cycle. We may see a rare legendary cycle. We got Sissay and The bear legend. Fingers crossed for Yawgmoth but I highly doubt it. I feel he’d be a Mythic reprint! Who knows he may be one of the black mythics.

Yawgmoth would be mythic but the cycle could be a mix of the two rarity urza could be the blue one
For the rare black legend that’s gix easily
And yea I’m not realizing we may go beyond 15 there is infact nothing under sword of... so far
We may have 19 mythics so we have a full sword cycle and balance the mythics
They're not gonna do five swords in one set, after taking years to even get this far.
Red Mythic could be Gerrard. Hopefully black Mythic is Yawgmoth.
Yeah as I said. We COULD see more swords but we did take half a decade to get the first 5. I’m less optimistic about getting more and if we do get more I’d be like 1 more not the full cycle. Forgot to say this in my last post.
so is it just me or is there no cards from commander sets being reprinted into modern?
Your not crazy
But I will say 65 or 66 in the crunch could be rhystic study
(I’m not gonna be amused if it doesn’t happen)
Any yea I’m not expecting the other 4 swords I mean it all started with only “fire and ice” and “light and shadow” it wasn’t till a few years later till the other 3 popped up
And there’s only 4 mythics left (unless other wise there’s more than 15) and for balance it would be 2 black 1 blue and 1 red
hmmm, well i admit on being somewhat relieved that all the swords arent included. nothing against the cycle, and do want to see it completed someday; its just a good portion of mythic slots for cards that would otherwise probably see very little play (even in edh as i understand it).
just hope they used those mythic slots wisely.

I don't know why but for some reason I presumed at least one angel, a reworked Radiant or Reya. Maybe because of Serra. Seeing how already 2 Mystic and 5 rares were spoiled for white make me doubt it.

A new Selenia i think is not out of question tho
Or some Fallen Angel legendary, don't completely lose your faith.
Maro confimed on Tumblr that there is just 1 sword, with the rest coming out in future sets.
He didn't say there was just one sword, he said the cycle starts but does not end in this set. That means there could even be another one in this set, for all we know, with 2 coming next set.
Yeah I’m guessing the monos will be unbalanced (what else is new?) at this point. My guess yeah we will see a black monocolored definitely and probably another one or two swords. If we get one more sword and a black Mythic, we will only have one more Mythic and I don’t think it’ll be monocolored. If we get 2 more swords and a black monocolored, that’ll wrap up 15 mythics.
Here’s my reasoning behind no more mono-colored mythics outside the 1 mono-colored black. Technically white got 2 because Serra Angel. Green also got 2 mythics and I don’t know why. Maybe there will be something else to balance later? Wizards almost never balances mythics perfectly so I’m not surprised. to me WAR was super unbalanced in mythics!
If we get one Sword and 1 monocolored mythic, I feel the last Mythic will be multicolored or maybe a land.
Have added the two swords (both of which seem a little weak compared to the other five, with the Rakdos one being the better of the two), and the manticore.
12 mythic cards spoiled, meaning three or so to go.
I can see several different scenarios:
- Black gets 2 mythics, Blue gets 1 and that's it (most likely, imo)
- Black and blue get one and we get a third sword (Wit and Guile/Intrigue for UB sword would fit, Wealth and Charity could be a name for GW sword, possible)
- Black, blue, and red each get one more (seems unlikely but is still possible)
- 2 Black, 1 blue, and 1 red mythic (gives 16 mythics, less likely)
- 2 black, 1 blue, and one more sword (again gives 16, not likely)
- 2 black, 1 blue, 1 red, and one more sword (gives 17 mythics, least likely of all, maybe a 0.1% chance if I had to guess)

Selenia and Radiant are still possible in the number crunch and card #2 might as well be an angel, but... At this point I wouldn't hold my brath for those.
Yet... I would really love to see them... Man... Having the original ones on the reserved list sucks.
Speaking of balance, if we have exactly 38 cards for each color, that last green card would be #191 : the one revealed today. If it's named Weather the Storm, then we get no Wirewood Symbiote / Wild Mongrel.
Of course, there's always the possibility of colors being not balanced. It's maybe more often the case than not.

Yep or there’s actually 16 mythics
But we know black has mythics coming and one will for sure be either gix or yawgmoth
Ultimate Masters had 20 Mythics, but IIRC it didn't have basic lands (hence the extra 5 slots).

Ok for volrath it’s 216 or bust because maro said he’s a dimir legend
And for gix it’s either him or yawgmoth for one of the monoblack mythics both would be a miracle
