-*<card>Aven Mindcensor</card> - Affects opponent's ability to search their library for cards.
-*<card>Bloodshot Trainee</card> - Has an ability dependent on its own power being above a certain number.
-*<card>Bonded Fetch</card> - [[Defender]] with [[haste]].
-*<card>Bound in Silence</card> - First [[Tribal]] type card.
-*<card>Bridge from Below</card> - An enchantment that only has abilities while in the graveyard.
-*<card>Centaur Omenreader</card> - Reduces creature spell costs, as long as it is tapped. It has the [[Snow]] type.
-*<card>Daybreak Coronet</card> - Introduces [[lifelink]], Enchant creature with another [[aura]] attached to it
-*<card>Dryad Arbor</card> - Land creature (see [[Manland]]).
-*<card>Emblem of the Warmind</card> - An aura that affects all creatures you control.
-*<card>Ghostfire</card> - A colorless sorcery that nevertheless costs colored mana to play. Its flavour text mentions Ugin, the Spirit Dragon, who is later revealed to be one of the planeswalkers that imprisoned the [[Eldrazi]] on [[Zendikar]].
-*<card>Henchfiend of Ukor</card> - Return of the hybrid mana symbol, and the introduction of off-color echo costs.

-*<card>Imperial Mask</card> - Enchantment that copies itself to each teammate you have. Especially suitable for [[multiplayer]] games. <ref>{{NewRef|mm/team-building-2014-10-13|Team Building|[[Mark Rosewater]]|October 13, 2014}}</ref>
-*<card>Muraganda Petroglyphs</card> - 'Muraganda' plane native, card that supports vanilla creatures.
-*<card>Nacatl War-Pride</card> - Creature that replicates itself depending on how many defenders there are.
-*<card>Narcomoeba</card> - Pseudo-[[madness]] ability that allows it to be put into play when sent from the library to the graveyard.
-*<card>Nix</card> - A cheap but rather niche counterspell against spells that were played for no mana.
-*<card>Phosphorescent Feast</card> - Card that gets more powerful when there are more green mana symbols in your hand's cards, an ability that became [[Eventide]]'s [[chroma]] and [[Theros]]'s [[devotion]].
-*<card>Ramosian Revivalist</card> - A [[Classes#Rebels|Rebel]] puller that uses the graveyard instead of the library.
-*<card>Sarcomite Myr</card> - An artifact that costs colored mana to play (see [[colored artifact]]s).
-*<card>Seht's Tiger</card> - [[Flash]] creature that gives ''you'' protection from the color of your choice the turn it comes into play.

-*<card>Spellwild Ouphe</card> - A card that reduces the cost of spells that ''target'' it.
-*<card>Sporoloth Ancient</card> - Creature that can only put spore counters on itself, but oddly gives a spore counter removing ability to every creature. (this ability does however costs 1 less spore counter to activate then other fungus abilities)
-*<card>Steamflogger Boss</card> - Only card to have rules text that had no effect when it was created. "[[Contraption]]" is known to be a type of Artifact, but the term "assemble" has no meaning in Magic rules. It also states Rigger as a creature type, but the only creature with this type so far is Steamflogger Boss itself, until the creature type overhaul granted <card>Moriok Rigger</card> the Rigger type also. This card has been reported to be a joke or red herring at the time of creation, but that may change in the future.
-*<card>Storm Entity</card> - Creature with the [[storm]]-like ability to gain +1/+1 for each spell previously played on this turn.
-*<card>Tarmogoyf</card> - Introduces (by way of reminder text) the [[Planeswalker]] card type.
-*<card>Thunderblade Charge</card> - Sorcery that can flashback itself indefinitely whenever you deal combat damage.
-*<card>Yixlid Jailer</card> - Cards in the graveyard lose all abilities.
