Modern Horizons 3 — hype check and what to watch

Modern Horizons 3 is coming. Wizards has been teasing it. The community has been speculating. When a Horizons set lands, the format shifts, reprints matter, and the secondary market reacts. We're not calling picks. We're reminding you how these sets tend to play out.

What usually happens

Horizons sets introduce new cards directly to Modern and often reprint format staples. New cards can spike hard in the first weeks. Reprints can tank — or hold — depending on demand. The first few days of availability are volatile. Prices settle over weeks. If you're watching the set, pay attention to spoiler season: which cards get hype, which reprints appear, and what the early lists look like.

What to watch

Keep an eye on official previews, early tournament results, and how the meta adapts. We'll have more to say when spoilers ramp up. For now: the hype is real, the format will change, and the Gazette will be here when it does.

Until next time — may your previews be spicy and your reprints be timely.
