    Three of the four multi color cards remaining are fairly easy to predict color wise:
    1 WU Rare
    1 WU Uncommon
    1 BG Uncommon

    The final slot will likely be a RG Rare, unless they determine that Wrenn & Six count there and give BR a second rare to make up for the mythic imbalance (this has been known to happen)


    That’s my prediction as well for 2 out of the three rares. I believe Gruul and Azorius colors will be in to fill the dual colored rare cycle and same with the 2 uncommons you said.

    That leaves one more rare which I think will be blue to let it at least kind of even out the rare distribution.

    I’m going to guess real, we have room for black green rare and this would slot nicely into the dual colored cycle. The number even makes sense (from what I can see with it).

    I counted the rares. Not sure if this is a mistake but you have 6 rares listed for the multicolored section and there are 7 in the section.

    Using this information and the newly revealed Pashalik Mons we have 46/53 rares. The following information is the color breakdown on rares currently:

    5 white
    5 blue
    5 black
    6 red
    7 green
    7 multicolored
    2 artifacts
    6 land

    There are 7 more rares.

    It looks like we are getting a cycle of dual colored rares in the multicolored. We have the dimir, Boros, izzet, Orzhov, selensya, simic, and Rakdos pair colors.

    The 3 remaining multicolored yet to be revealed are the Gruul, azorious, and golgari color paired rares.

    This leaves 4 more, which I’m almost unsure of. I don’t think there’s going to be a mono color rare balance. I feel we may see one more white, black, and blue bringing everything kind of close. Regardless for some odd reason green gets an extra rare (as well as an extra Mythic). The last Rare I’m going to guess we get another artifact rare.

    This is my best guess.

    Edit: the uncommon number in the multicolored section should say 8 as well and it says 7. It looks like there’s also a dual colored Uncommon cycle as well in the multicolored section with the azorious and golgari colored Uncommon color paired cards missing.

    All 2s and 3s isn't very uneven. It's their normal level of unevenness. Very uneven would be if one color got 3 while another color only got 1.


    That’s true. Pretty much just trying to guess at the last Mythic. Very hard to predict for this set given the pattern, it could be anything.

    Looking at all colors (multicolored and mono-colored) and not including the 5 color sliver since it’s 5 colors, here’s a color breakdown of mythics:

    2 white
    2 blue
    2 black
    3 red
    3 green
    1 colorless
    3 artifacts

    Very uneven (and likely to stay uneven). Maybe we will get an esper Mythic? doubtful though! My guess is still multicolored. Something with dimir, azorius, or Orzhov colors is my guess:

    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.

    I’m wondering if wizards messed up on the date. Maybe they were meant to be for Monday? I have no idea why they’d say today, on Memorial Day weekend, we would get a spoiler.

    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.

    Mythics so far

    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.

    Based on today's reveals:
    - an uncommon allied color pair land cycle appears likely, as there are 5+ open spots between Fiery Inlet and Snow-Covered Plains
    - possible 6 card Legendary Creature Cycle: Morophon and Urza are both Mythic Legends, and there are plenty of older Legends who either need a card or would like an updated card. Yawgmoth would likely be the B legend. Unfortunately Don't know enough about the lore to speculate on the W, R, and G Legends could be, unless they count Serra as the W and the other walker as one.


    Yeah maybe we can get a Mythic cycle. I feel Serra would count though as white already has 2 mythics with Serra and the Ranger Captain of Eros Mythic. As far as Mythic legendaries we may be able to say 7 if we include the The First Sliver. I’m not quite sure if the other Planeswalker will count as another color Mythic but I feel that can dependent on if it’s a multicolored walker or a monocolored.

    In terms of other mythics, I think we will see two mythics for each color. We already got seasoned pyromancer in red and as a I stated Ranger Captain of Eros in white.

    That’s 10 with 2 for each color, 1 colorless, and 1 Multicolored. I’m unsure how the other 3 will work and it will kind of depend on how they decide to count Planeswalkers and how many multicolored mythics we will see. Maybe we will see a Mythic land.

    And suddenly I’m tempted to build a sliver commander deck with The first sliver as a commander!

    Magus of Ponder U
    Creature - Human Wizard
    tap symbol , sacrifice Magus of Ponder: Look at the top three cards of your library, then put them back in any order. You may shuffle your library.
    Draw a card.
    1/1

    That would be Magus of Ponder. Pondering Mage is unplayable, especially given that we already had an ETB Brainstorm in Riverwise Augur at 4 mana and that sees zero play.

    EDIT: Added "sacrifice Magus of Ponder" to the activation cost....


    Hahahaha! The fact that this would rearrange the top three cards, then shuffle the library, and then draw a card would be absolutely redundant and do nothing which is hilarious. There would be no point in pondering and rearranging the top three cards at all. It would literally be used only for card draw.


    Ummm.. What? That's literally how Ponder works. You don't have to shuffle.


    I didn’t see the “May” part my bad. Yeah that makes sense now
