Is Shardless Agent Crunched? Looking at the list I don't believe it is, but the Scryfall Crunch has every known card crunched between Nature's Chant and Thundering Djinn. Am I missing something about the way the numbering works or is there still a chance Shardless fits between those two cards?
Speaking of balance, if we have exactly 38 cards for each color, that last green card would be #191 : the one revealed today. If it's named Weather the Storm, then we get no Wirewood Symbiote / Wild Mongrel.
Of course, there's always the possibility of colors being not balanced. It's maybe more often the case than not.
For the balance theory to check out
The last 3 mythics have to be mono red and 2 mono black
Mark my words one of those black mythics with be either gix or yawgmoth (both for a miracle)
Slot 135 - is there a possibility for a Lightning Rift functional reprint ?? Would love it, and would be more playable than the Astral, if we get the Onslaught lands back

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:
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.
didn't that happen in Ultimate Masters where white got no monocolor mythic?
While technically true, I think Karakas is assumed to be "mythic for white players" even if it isn't itself white.
The more galling imbalance I remember is how much Green was Choked out of Amonkhet Invocations. Only two monogreen cards, compared to 17 monoblue cards. But people say "But the set was about Bolas, it was bound to be heavier on Bolas colors"... white isn't a Bolas color and it got 8.
The mailed leaflet says 209 new cards, 40 reprints and full-art snow lands.
So with a 254 numered set it seems the reprint count does not include the lands nor flusterstorm promo.
So... 23 reprints revealed.
Their 27 included flusterstorm. They're showing 29 now, they added Kess and Eladamri's Call (I hadn't noticed was also absent when they were showing 27).
So *now*, pulling back the snow lands and flusterstorm, it seems we have 23 of the email-stated 40.
It looks like the colored cycling lands from Onslaught that get reprinted in almost every supplemental product still fit. No other common land cycles that aren't already Modern-legal fit.

I think even though it was uncommon in Mirage, the Mirage tapped-allied-fetches cycle could get downshifted to common. And it fits. (Do we even know for sure if they'd need to be common? Have enough uncommons been spoiled to know that there's no room for an uncommon cycle?)
Bad River at 235, 236, or 237
Flood Plain at 239
Grasslands at 241
Mountain Valley at 242
Rocky Tar Pit at 245

It's either these, or the 1 mana Onslaught cycling lands. Both fit the crunch. The cyclers seem more likely to me, due to Astral Drift and being more generally interesting. The downshift to common for Pauper/Limited's sake is a real possibility, though. I forgot the black mana cycler's name offhand.
Yeah either one has its reasons and It's actually quite improbable that with all the spoiled lands so far that each cycle still fits, but they do, we can't rule either one out yet!
I think the logic on why the Miragefetches makes sense, is that there is so far two cycles of enemy-color fixing (the talismans and the rare lands), and so far zero cycles of allied-color fixing. For its draft environment balance, I kinda expect them to have something planned for ally color fixing so enemy color pairs don't get all the limited fixing love.

It's Eladamri's Call. But they could print an upgrade version with Hexproof, I guess.
They kind of made one in Amonkhet: Faith of the Devoted
Commander: WUBRG Superfriends, GW Rhys Tokens, WUBRG Scion of the Ur-Dragon
Kitchen Table (now that's real Magic): WUBRG Domain, GU Biovisionary, UB Korlash Grandeur, UW Merfolk Mill

2 blue

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.
While technically true, I think Karakas is assumed to be "mythic for white players" even if it isn't itself white.

Scryfall lists 27, though they don't have Kess yet (I'm not sure if they're missing any other recent reveals).
That does include the five basic snow lands tho. Does Arena's 40 include those, or is it 40 new-to-modern reprints?
So with a 254 numered set it seems the reprint count does not include the lands nor flusterstorm promo.
So... 23 reprints revealed.
So *now*, pulling back the snow lands and flusterstorm, it seems we have 23 of the email-stated 40.
So there should be one left?
