C'est un Thopter de l'édition Murders at Karlov Manor que le Gearbane Orangutan détruit, comme en atteste son texte d'ambiance.
La carte Case of the Gateway Express est une référence au roman policier d'Agatha Christie : Le Crime de l'Orient-Express.
Sur l'illustration de la carte Teysa, Opulent Oligarch, on peut voir dans des tableaux en arrière-plan les illustrations de Liliana, Death's Majesty et Scion of Opulence.
Toutes ces cartes sont illustrées par Chris Rallis.

Thank you! Yes, I took the artistic license to include the three most beautiful ladies I've painted so far in one card.
Les cartes Warden of the First Tree, Ascendant Spirit, Evolved Sleeper, Surge Engine, Frodo, Sauron's Bane, Timber Paladin, Akawalli, the Seething Tower, Tenth District Hero, Kellan, Planar Trailblazer, Elenda, Saint of Dusk et Figure of Fable s'inspirent de la carte Figure of Destiny pour leurs capacités activées ou statiques, qui leur permettent de "s'augmenter" de manière permanente, moyennant un coût en mana/ressources de plus en plus élevé (cas des capacités activées), ou de manière statique (cas des capacités statiques).

Source 1 (Ascendant Spirit - "Occasionally, we make what I call a "template" card, that is, a card that is so cool and memorable that it inspires us to make more cards like it. [...] One such template card was designed by Brian Tinsman in Eventide called Figure of Destiny . [...] This card has inspired numerous things, including the level-up mechanic in Rise of the Eldrazi. Another thing it inspired was this card [Ascendant Spirit] (what I call a "relic" card—templates inspire relics).") - Source 2 (Frodo, Sauron's Bane - "This gem of a design was created by Brian Tinsman as an attempt to top-down design a creature leveling up over time. Figure of Destiny was so beloved that it's been the springboard for many cards, as well as the level and class mechanics from AFR.") - Source 3 (Shadowmoor Block - "Figure of Destiny was probably the most memorable card from Eventide. It has gone on to spawn many other card designs, and even some mechanics.")
La carte Vernal Sovereign est une référence à Voice of Resurgence de par ses couleurs, son type de créature, son illustration et enfin les caractéristiques du jeton Élémental créé.
Les six cartes Apothecary White, Senator Peacock, Mastermind Plum, Headliner Scarlett, Emissary Green et Commander Mustard, de l'édition Ravnica: Clue Edition, forment un cycle.
Chaque personnage correspond à l'un des suspects possibles dans le jeu Cluedo.

Les cinq cartes Wrench, Candlestick, Lead Pipe, Knife et Rope, de l'édition Murders at Karlov Manor, forment un cycle d'artefacts de sous-types indice et équipement.
Ce cycle est paru à l'identique dans l'édition Ravnica: Clue Edition.
Chacun correspond à l'une des armes du crime possibles dans le jeu Cluedo, à part pour le Revolver - les armes à feu "conventionnelles" étant notablement absentes de Magic.

Source
Les dix cartes Study, Secret Passage, Billiard Room, Dining Room, Conservatory, Ballroom, Library, Lounge, Hall et Kitchen, de l'édition Ravnica: Clue Edition, forment un cycle de terrains.
Chacun correspond à l'un des lieux du crime possibles dans le jeu Cluedo, à part pour le Secret Passage.

La carte Leyline of the Guildpact est une référence à Prismatic Omen de par sa troisième capacité statique.
De plus il est possible de jouer la Leyline uniquement avec du mana vert.

Source (Murders at Karlov Manor - "Leyline of the Guildpact uses all four hybrid mana with green in it. This lets you to play the card with just green mana but allows any other color to help.")
La carte Krovod Haunch représente le gigot de l'animal Ravnican, mais probablement un plus jeune que ceux figurés sur les cartes Ironclad Krovod et Bazaar Krovod, étant donné leurs tailles respectives.
La carte Case of the Stashed Skeleton est une référence à Demonic Tutor de par sa capacité activée.
Les cinq cartes Fuss / Bother, Flotsam / Jetsam, Push / Pull, Hustle / Bustle et Cease / Desist, de l'édition Murders at Karlov Manor, forment un cycle de cartes-doubles (split cards).

Source (Murders at Karlov Manor - "The set also has an uncommon split card cycle using the five ally-color combinations. [...] One side is cheap to allow you to cast it early, and the second side is six mana to give you a big spell to cast later in the game. The reason it's exactly mana value 6 is so that you can use it for collect evidence (all the commons use collect evidence 6). [...]")
La carte Archdruid's Charm est une référence à Archmage's Charm de par son nom, son coût de mana et le fait de présenter trois effets modaux. Peut-être le début d'un méga-méga-cycle de charmes, comme le suggère la parution de Archenemy's Charm...

Source (Archdruid's Charm - "[...] Inspired by my success with the Atog s but thinking bigger, I came up with an idea that I called the "mega-mega cycle." We would print a card from a cycle once each block [...] I should note that not all mega-mega cycles start as cycles. Sometimes we make a card, or two, and then later get inspired to make more. That brings us to Archmage's Charm from Modern Horizons. [...]")
Les cartes Vibrant Cityscape, Escape Tunnel, Promising Vein, Shire Terrace, Fabled Passage, Warped Landscape et Evolving Wilds sont des références à Terramorphic Expanse et Terminal Moraine de par leur capacité activée permettant de rechercher un terrain de base dans sa bibliothèque.
Parmi toutes celles-ci :
Vibrant Cityscape et Evolving Wilds sont des réimpressions fonctionnelles de Terramorphic Expanse.
Fabled Passage est une version améliorée de Terramorphic Expanse.
Warped Landscape est une réimpression fonctionnelle de Terminal Moraine.
Shire Terrace est une version améliorée de Terminal Moraine.
Promising Vein est une réimpression fonctionnelle de Shire Terrace, à part pour le type de terrain.
Les dix cartes Private Eye, Curious Cadaver, Rune-Brand Juggler, Tin Street Gossip, Sumala Sentry, Wispdrinker Vampire, Gleaming Geardrake, Kraul Whipcracker, Meddling Youths et Evidence Examiner, ainsi que les dix cartes No More Lies, Coerced to Kill, Deadly Complication, Break Out, Buried in the Garden, Soul Search, Detective's Satchel, Insidious Roots, Lightning Helix et Repulsive Mutation, de l'édition Murders at Karlov Manor, forment un cycle de créatures bicolores peu communes soutenant chacune un archétype de formats limités, ainsi qu'un cycle de sorts non-créatures avec la même intention.
Parmi ces derniers, deux sont issus de Great Designer Searches... :
• Buried in the Garden, carte issue de la Great Designer Search 3 (voir cette anecdote) ;
• Coerced to Kill, carte initialement conçue par Jeremy Geist mais largement modifiée par la suite.
Le "BG Serra Angel" auquel il est fait allusion est Golgari Death Swarm (voir cette anecdote).

Source 1 - Source 2 ("Draft, as an example, had a big influence on the uncommon gold cards that model Draft archetypes") - Source 3 ("One of the biggest changes from Draft Boosters to Play Boosters was the decision to increase from one multicolor card per two-color combination to two. One will be an enabler, helping make the archetype work. The other will be a strong payoff for doing what the archetype is telling you to do.")

#MTGKarlov #wotcstaff Those of you familiar with Magic set structures know that we usually do a cycle of two-color cards at uncommon to show what the Limited archetypes are. MKM is no different

Jeremy Geist (@ofsaintdraft) · Jan 28
However, MKM actually has two multicolor cycles at uncommon! Since we're on Ravnica, @Murk_Lurker also added a cycle of "Lightning Helixes" – clean, elegant two-color cards that work well in any strategy. Unsurprisingly, Helix is in this cycle

While I think all these cards are cool, my personal favorite is Buried in the Garden, which was a Great Designer Search 3 card from Jay Treat originally called "Bought the Farm"

Jeremy Geist (@ofsaintdraft) · Jan 28
Coerced to Kill is also a GDS design (mine), but it changed a lot over the course of the design process

Jeremy Geist (@ofsaintdraft) · Jan 28
MKM was one of the first sets I worked on so the GDS was still fresh in my mind and I brought up this card when we were working on this cycle. I'm glad we were able to pay tribute to everyone's hard work in a way that doesn't involve a BG Serra Angel
Les cartes No Witnesses, Depopulate et Shatter the Sky partagent une mécanique similaire.
Les cartes Blitzball Shot, Fanatical Strength et Staggering Size sont des réimpressions fonctionnelles de Predator's Strike. La carte Crash the Ramparts est une réimpression fonctionnelle de Awaken the Bear, qui est elle-même une version affaiblie de ces cartes.
La carte Buried in the Garden est une référence aux cartes Banishing Light et Fertile Ground de par ses couleurs et ses effets.
Cette carte était originellement appelée "Bought the Farm" et conçue par Jay Treat lors de la Great Designer Search 3.

The GDS3 Design Test I Didn't Submit
Months ago now, I walked through the 10 cards that I submitted for the Design Test and my process. Today, I'd like to share with you my alternate set. The group I compared with the one I did submit and just barely decided against.
[...]
The reason I made so many hot-glue gun cards is because those are staples of gold design and when you can find one that feels right, it really clicks. Poisonous Overgrowth is pretty 'meh.' Bought the Farm wasn't great but it was better.

Several of my cards were under-costed. Oops.
