Wizards of the Coast has filled the Modern Horizons 3 set with 40 returning Magic: The Gathering mechanics, ranging from Energy and Modify to Umbra Armor and Kindred.
⚪ Complete set review! ⚪ – ✨ Modern Horizons 3 ✨ – White cards – Created and limited
MTG Modern Horizons 3 (MH3) spoiler season kicked off on May 21, but it wasn’t the cards that stood out during previews. Previous Modern Horizons sets have included returning mechanics, keyword abilities, keyword actions, and skill words. The MH3 set, however, is the first to feature 40 of these mechanics. Most of the mechanics will be familiar to players, and there are no rule changes.
All MH3 cards are legal to play in the Modern and Eternal formats. The addition of 40 returning MTG mechanics doesn’t change much about Constructed play, but it will have an impact on the Limited Modern Horizon 3 Draft. Mechanics like Cycling have been included in recent MTG sets, but newer players may not be familiar with Devotion, Energy, Eternalize, Storm, and Entwine.
Of all the mechanics, Kindred is the one that most players might not recognize. Kindred was previously called Tribal, but is a name change. No rules within the mechanic that was previously called Tribal have been changed for MH3.
