I can imagine that'll be used on a lot of Glistener Elfs.
I'm curious how long it will take them to get Modern onto Arena, maybe via very expensive Arena-exclusive premade decks?
Edit:
And a weird Sneak Attack for Planeswalkers:
edit: well, mostly. They still only boost your own guys.
edit2: oooh this set has changelings
Well, New Slivers: Classic Sliver Look, Modern Sliver Templating

I was reading people complaining that they reprinted Diabolic Edict immediately after the almost-strictly-better Liliana's Triumph in WAR, and someone said "well the two teams probably don't talk to each other." And I'm like... even if they did they wouldn't have printed Triumph in Horizons. It's a limited-targeted common.
literally trash set if every single creature isn't snapcaster or better
Fuck.
Sisay looks like a good cheaty commander
wait a minute. this guy's avatar is a sexy my little pony
Gerrard and Ertai gooo

Ertai’s eeeeevil card makes for an annoying Commander.
According to my playgroup.
But yeah, could have been retooled a bit.

You're referring to the cooler Elder dragon legends of Legends, though. I'm thinking of these guys:
Tangentially related, Rubinia Soulsinger was powerful enough to be reprinted as is, but hilariously, the artist thought she was Rubinia Soulsigner, hence her new art:
legends was a cool set that was just horribly priced
they were still in their "throw shit at the wall" stages
