Modern Horizons 3 Leaks - Main Set Cards • MTG Arena Zone (2024)

The floodgates for Modern Horizons 3 leaks are now open, firstly with cards from the Commander Decks and now the developing story is that the leaker has already drafted the set. They are trickling in one by one and is being circulated all around on Facebook, reddit, and Discord, so keep an eye on this post as we make updates to it real time. At the very least, the cards are more legible here!

We’ve decided to separate the Commander cards from the main set cards as they have different implications for MTG Arena, so be sure to check them out in the dedicated post.

Also remember that the main set also includes the five double-faced Planeswalkers (“flipwalkers”), leaked on April 18, 2024:

Some cards from Modern Horizons 3 has already been officially revealed in the First Look, and will be making its way to MTG Arena on June 11, 2024 in between the next Standard set Bloomburrow expected on July 30, 2024. The set will add more powerful cards to MTG Arena’s Timeless and Historic formats, and we also know that a special form of Mastery Pass is planned for it too. Previews start May 21, 2024.

• May 25, 2024: 80 cards from a Whatnot auction stream has been leaked – we will put it up on a separate post:

• May 13, 2024: More cards are being leaked by the same source, one by one…
• May 12, 2024: Looks like the whole set will be leaked at this rate! More cards have been added.
• May 11, 2024: Perilous Landscape and Nesting Grounds added.
• April 30, 2024: More cards have been added, and Wizards of the Coast has officially addressed these leaks and revealed cards on an official capacity.

Before you view the cards, remember: These are unofficial, unconfirmed leaks from a third party source so view at your own risk!

Harbinger of the Seas

The Blue version of Magus of the Moon from the main set was leaked on its own. With Boil also being legal in Modern, Merfolk get another card to disrupt the manabase.

{1}{U}{U}

Creature – Merfolk Wizard

Nonbasic lands are Islands.

2/2

Nulldrifter

The Eldrazified Mulldrifter comes with a bigger statline, mana value, Annihilator, and the same Evoke ability that we all love!

{7}

Creature – Eldrazi Elemental (R)

When you cast this spell, draw two cards.

Flying

Annihilator 1 (Whenever this creature attacks, defending player sacrifices a permanent.)

Evoke {2}{U} (You may cast this spell for its evoke cost. If you do, it’s sacrificed when it enters the battlefield.)

4/4

Sapphire Medallion

With this reprint, Sapphire Medallion becomes legal for Modern! It’s safe to assume that the other four are also being reprinted here.

{2}

Artifact (R)

Blue spells you cast cost{1}less to cast.

Flare of Denial

Could this card make Snapcaster Mage good again? With the Harbinger of the Seas leak, Merfolk is likely an archetype that will be pushed with Modern Horizons 3.

{1}{U}{U}

Instant (R)

You may sacrifice a nontoken blue creature rather than pay this spell’s mana cost.

Counter target spell.

Necrodominance

Sylvan Safekeeper and Kappa Cannoneer are also shown here, which could be new-to-Modern reprints! However, they could actually be part of the Commander Decks since the set code is hidden.

According to the source, Buried Alive is also being reprinted.

{B}{B}{B}

Legendary Enchantment (R)

Skip your draw step.

At the beginning of your end step, you may pay any amount of life. If you do, draw that many cards.

Your maximum hand size is five.

If a card or token would be put into your graveyard from anywhere, exile it instead.

Echoes of Eternity

{3}{C}{C}{C}

Kindred Enchantment – Eldrazi (R)

If a triggered ability of a colorless spell you control or another colorless permanent you control triggers, that ability triggers an additional time.

Whenever you cast a colorless spell, copy it. You may choose new targets for the copy.

Thief of Existence

Thief of Existence {1}{C}{G}

Creature – Eldrazi (R)

Devoid (This card has no color.)

When you cast this spell, exile up to one target noncreature, nonland permanent an opponent controls with mana value 4 or less. If you do, Thief of Existence gains “When this creature leaves the battlefield, target opponent draws a card.”

3/4

Shilgengar, Sire of Famine

Shilgengar, Sire of Famine {3}{B}{B}

Legendary Creature – Elder Demon (R)

Flying

Sacrifice another creature: Create a Blood token. If you sacrificed an Angel this way, create a number of Blood tokens equal to its toughness instead.

{W/B}{W/B}{W/B}, Sacrifice six Blood tokens: Return each creature card from your graveyard to the battlefield with a finality counter on it. Those creatures are Vampires in addition to their other types.

6/6

Volatile Stormdrake

Volatile Stormdrake {1}{U}

Creature – Drake

Flying, hexproof from activated and triggered abilities

When Volatile Stormdrake enters the battlefield, exchange control of Volatile Stormdrake and target creature an opponent controls. If you do, you get {E}{E}{E}{E}, then sacrifice that creature unless you pay an amount of {E} equal to its mana value.

3/2

Pearl-Ear, Imperial Advisor

Pearl-Ear, Imperial Advisor {1}{W}{W}

Lifelink

Enchantment spells you cast have affinity for Auras (They cost {1} less to cast for each Aura you control.)

Whenever you cast an Aura spell that targets a modified permanent you control, draw a card. (Equipment, Auras you control, and counters are modifications.)

3/4

Brainstorm?

Brainstorm making its way into Modern is huge news if true, but could also be part of the Commander Decks. Detective’s Phoenix is a new unrevealed card. Cephalid Coliseum and its cycle of Odyssey Threshold lands could make it into the set also.

Nethergoyf

Nethergoyf {B}

Creature – Lhurgoyf (M)

Nethergoyf’s power is equal to the number of card types among cards in your graveyard and its toughness is equal to that number plus 1.

Escape–2B, Exile any number of other cards from your graveyard with at least four or more card types among them.

*/*+1

Meltdown

Meltdown reprint.

Glimpse the Impossible

Glimpse the Impossible{2}{R}

Sorcery (C)

Exile the top three cards of your library. You may play those cards this turn. At the beginning of the next end step, if any of those cards remain exiled, put them into your graveyard. For each card put into the graveyard this way, create a 0/1 colorless Eldrazi Spawn creature token with “Sacrifice this creature. Add {C}.”

Archway of Innovation

Archway of Innovation

Land (R)

Archway of Innovation enters the battlefield tapped unless you control an Island.

{T}: Add {U}.

{U}, {T}: The next spell you cast this turn has improvise.

Scurrilous Sentry

Scurrilous Sentry {3}{B}

Creature – Human Knight Rogue (C)
