I think the Commander Draft set is way more likely but it is the card could be in Jumpstart. If we are going to be technical, the card COULD be in M21 or Ikoria as well, given that how enchantment heavy Theros Beyond Death was but... That seems less likely than the aforementioned supplemental sets.
This is clearly either going to be in Jump Start or the Commander Draft set.
I don't think it will be in Jump start as it's depicted being tribal themes and build 1 deck with 2 boosters.
Oubliette is not in a tribal theme and the card is way too complicated for building a deck with it with 2 boosters ...
As WotC said in their article, some themes are tribal (cats, pirates, eldrazi) but some themes are not tribal but more thematically linked (Garruk, Doctor, Phyrexian, etc.).
Still utterly fails to explain why it wasn't in Modern Horizons like tons of people were asking for but ok.
A better question would be to ask why anybody though Modern Horizons would be such a natural fit for it in the first place. The damn thing is near unprintable. For one, it's a relic. Not only does it predate the modern color pie, getting an effect normally reserved for white, it does so with a massive wall of text. The 2-part Oblivion Ring template has been dead for years, so there's no way something with it was going to end up in a product that was supposed to represent the future. All of that text exists to serve a weird aura/counter preservation mechanic that, respectively, results in a wall of text or has been written much more elegantly the few times it has appeared since Oubliette's printing. All told, the sheer number of reasons to not reprint it is damning. It would probably just be forgotten if it wasn't printed at common.
Folks should be happy that Wizards is thinking at all about how to reprint the unreprintable, not get mad about not jamming cards where they obviously don't belong.
WotC did not want it in Modern.
