Set Mechanics
Sometimes, mana just isn't enough. Several cards in Modern Horizons 3 will give you energy counters that you can use to power up spells and permanents you control. If you can assemble a deck full of these cards, you'll have lots of energy counters and plenty of ways to spend them!
View all 0 Energy cardsThe kindred type, formerly known as "tribal," appears on noncreature cards and allows them to have creature types. All cards that previously had the tribal card type will be updated to have the kindred card type with the release of Modern Horizons 3.

View all 0 Umbra Armor cardsBestow is an ability that appears on some enchantment creatures. Creatures with bestow can be cast as creatures, just like normal, but they can also be cast as Auras targeting a creature. When the enchanted creature leaves the battlefield, the Aura with bestow will stop being an Aura and go back to being a creature on the battlefield!

View all 0 Devoid cardsMany cards in this set reward you for improving your creatures by referring to "modified" creatures. A creature you control is considered modified if it has at least one counter on it, if it's equipped, or if it's enchanted by an Aura you control.
