With Modern Horizons now fully spoiled, it’s time to wrap up this series of spoiler articles. Last week, I said that the set was a bit underwhelming.

Attempting to home new cards in new decks is an exciting section of spoiler season, sure.

David looks ahead to Modern Horizons spoiler season and examines cards that have been dodging reprint for a while.
