Relevant cards for Modern
Intangible Virtue: BW Tokens
Raise the Alarm: some Tokens builds
*Squadron Hawk: Martyr Proc, Soul Sisters
Wall of Omens: Mostly Kiki Chord, UWR Kiki plays it too but that deck has been overshadowed by Nahiri
Wrath of God: control decks
Duress: SB card
Night's Whisper: Grishoalbrand
Twisted Abomination: Living End
Desperate Ravings: Storm
Faithless Looting: Grishoalbrand, Dredge
Kird Ape: Bushwhacker Zoo
Young Pyromancer: Delver
Flinthoof Boar: some Bushwhacker Zoo builds
Heritage Druid: Elves
Llanowar Elves: Elves
Nature's Claim: SB card
Rancor: Infect, Bogles
Shaman of the Pack: Elves
Zealous Persecution: BW Tokens, some Abzan SBs
Relic of Progenitus: SB card
Fringe cards
Blood Artist: Aristocrats
Flame Jab: Assault Loam
*Mogg War Marshal: Goblins
*Goblin Charbelcher: 7-land Belcher
Pilgrim's Eye: Sun Titan/Emeria control
* = new art (note: Squadron Hawk's art is not actually "new", but right now only the FNM promo Hawk has that art)
In case the name of the set didn't already tip you off, this isn't a set full of Modern staples. The Modern-playable cards are mostly cheap commons/uncommons, other than Wrath of God and Heritage Druid (HOLY ***** THAT THING IS AN UNCOMMON). Buy it for Legacy or drafting, not for Modern.
(P.S. I didn't write "buy it for Vintage", because no Vintage player likes new borders )
An Eternal-focused set doesn't have to be all Eternal staples. They put Doubling Season in MM just for the casual players.
That said, there is some chance that we will get cards that are simultaneously Legacy staples AND Modern staples, although the overlap is kinda slim and many of those cards have already been reprinted.
This set isn't designed for Modern, so I don't expect many Modern staple reprints. I mean, if you look at both MM sets, there were only like 5 cards which were Legacy-/Vintage- but not Modern-playable:
Intangible Virtue: BW Tokens
Raise the Alarm: some Tokens builds
