La carte Archdruid's Charm est une référence à Archmage's Charm de par son nom, son coût de mana et le fait de présenter trois effets modaux. Peut-être le début d'un cycle de charmes...

Source (Archdruid's Charm - "[...] Inspired by my success with the Atog s but thinking bigger, I came up with an idea that I called the "mega-mega cycle." We would print a card from a cycle once each block [...] I should note that not all mega-mega cycles start as cycles. Sometimes we make a card, or two, and then later get inspired to make more. That brings us to Archmage's Charm from Modern Horizons. [...]")
Les cartes Escape Tunnel, Promising Vein, Shire Terrace, Fabled Passage, Warped Landscape et Evolving Wilds sont des références à Terramorphic Expanse de par leur capacité activée permettant de rechercher un terrain de base dans sa bibliothèque.
Parmi toutes celles-ci :
Evolving Wilds est une réimpression fonctionnelle de Terramorphic Expanse.
Fabled Passage est une version améliorée de Terramorphic Expanse.
Shire Terrace est une version améliorée de Warped Landscape.
Promising Vein est une réimpression fonctionnelle de Shire Terrace, à part pour le type de terrain.
Les dix cartes Private Eye, Curious Cadaver, Rune-Brand Juggler, Tin Street Gossip, Sumala Sentry, Wispdrinker Vampire, Gleaming Geardrake, Kraul Whipcracker, Meddling Youths et Evidence Examiner, ainsi que les dix cartes No More Lies, Coerced to Kill, Deadly Complication, Break Out, Buried in the Garden, Soul Search, Detective's Satchel, Insidious Roots, Lightning Helix et Repulsive Mutation, de l'édition Murders at Karlov Manor, forment un cycle de créatures bicolores peu communes soutenant chacune un archétype de formats limités, ainsi qu'un cycle de sorts non-créatures avec la même intention.
Parmi ces derniers, deux sont issus de Great Designer Searches... :
• Buried in the Garden, carte issue de la Great Designer Search 3 (voir cette anecdote) ;
• Coerced to Kill, carte initialement conçue par Jeremy Geist mais largement modifiée par la suite.
Le "BG Serra Angel" auquel il est fait allusion est Golgari Death Swarm (voir cette anecdote).

#MTGKarlov #wotcstaff Those of you familiar with Magic set structures know that we usually do a cycle of two-color cards at uncommon to show what the Limited archetypes are. MKM is no different

However, MKM actually has two multicolor cycles at uncommon! Since we're on Ravnica, @Murk_Lurker also added a cycle of "Lightning Helixes" – clean, elegant two-color cards that work well in any strategy. Unsurprisingly, Helix is in this cycle

While I think all these cards are cool, my personal favorite is Buried in the Garden, which was a Great Designer Search 3 card from Jay Treat originally called "Bought the Farm"

Coerced to Kill is also a GDS design (mine), but it changed a lot over the course of the design process

MKM was one of the first sets I worked on so the GDS was still fresh in my mind and I brought up this card when we were working on this cycle. I'm glad we were able to pay tribute to everyone's hard work in a way that doesn't involve a BG Serra Angel
La carte Gearbane Orangutan est une référence à Uktabi Orangutan de par son nom, son coût de mana, son type de créature, ses force et endurance et enfin le premier mode qu'il est possible de choisir pour sa capacité déclenchée ; elle en est quasiment la version "color-shifted".
La carte Novice Inspector est une réimpression fonctionnelle de Thraben Inspector, à part pour le type de créature.
Les cartes No Witnesses, Depopulate et Shatter the Sky partagent une mécanique similaire.
Les cartes Fanatical Strength et Staggering Size sont des réimpressions fonctionnelles de Predator's Strike. La carte Crash the Ramparts est une réimpression fonctionnelle de Awaken the Bear, qui est elle-même une version affaiblie de ces cartes.
La carte No More Lies est une référence à Mana Leak de par sa valeur de mana et son effet. La déclinaison bicolore avec un mana blanc permet en plus d'exiler le sort contrecarré.
La carte Alquist Proft, Master Sleuth est une référence à Sphinx's Revelation de par sa capacité activée, moyennant le sacrifice d'un jeton Clue.
La carte Buried in the Garden est une référence aux cartes Banishing Light et Fertile Ground de par ses couleurs et ses effets.
Cette carte était originellement appelée "Bought the Farm" et conçue par Jay Treat lors de la Great Designer Search 3.

The GDS3 Design Test I Didn't Submit
Months ago now, I walked through the 10 cards that I submitted for the Design Test and my process. Today, I'd like to share with you my alternate set. The group I compared with the one I did submit and just barely decided against.
[...]
The reason I made so many hot-glue gun cards is because those are staples of gold design and when you can find one that feels right, it really clicks. Poisonous Overgrowth is pretty 'meh.' Bought the Farm wasn't great but it was better.

How I Approached the Design Test
[Bought the Farm picture]
Several of my cards were under-costed. Oops.

Source (Uncommon Cycles - Color-Hosing Spells)
Les cinq cartes Surge of Righteousness, Encase in Ice, Self-Inflicted Wound, Rending Volley et Display of Dominance, de l'édition Dragons of Tarkir, forment un cycle de "Color-Hosers".

Source (Color-Hosing Cycle - "[...] With time, we've realized that we have to be careful how we communicate the relationships between the colors. If we mess with dual lands too much, we lessen the amount of decks available to the players. If we create too many hosers, we shift the focus of tournament play too much toward sideboarding. It's a gentle balance and R&D has been working hard to find it. [...]")
