For those who manage common/uncommon cubes: Hoarding Dragon is in at uncommon (!)
Oh that's right I recall seeing a Vent Sentinel and a Wall of Roots. I'd like to see a few more defenders in Green to confirm but by process of elimination and given Vent Sentinel is in the format, you're probably right
Overgrown Battlement would be the clincher
That's probably the right call. List might be BS.
No Planeswalkers spotted. When's the last time a set was released without Planeswalkers?
I kinda would like this as a design decision honestly. Once in a while, we can not have them.
Could also be walls to ramp into X spells. Rosheen Meanderer was spoiled, so was fireball.
It certainly makes the game feel more like classic MTG.
that card would be format-destroying at uncommon tbh
It's a defender deck but you can exploit some good top end
I haven't seen Rosheen but I'll take your word for it and it makes sense
Damn, they're printing the shit out of that card just when it was starting to gain some momentum. Probably a good idea before Commander demand puts it out of range for non-pack oriented supplemental product.

She's on the side, hopefully at uncommon:
I think it was either Conflux or Alara Reborn
Pillar of Flame rules out Lightning Bolt?
Not by the crunch.
There seems to be one open spot that could fit Rishadan Port?

Conflux had Bolas.
Port would likely be Mythic, not Rare, due to the pricetag.
Still uncommon.
That would be really weird. How can you have a set named ICONIC MASTERS and not having freakin' lightning bolt?
There are still unspoiled mythics if that's the issue.
I think you meant excitement.
How can you have a set named MAGIC 25 without Lightning Bolt?!?
Rare?
Or Llanowar Elves/Swords to Plowshares/Counterspell.
I'm pleased, though, that Iconic Masters was more of a branding/marketing thing than a design/development philosophy.

Needs a Holiday on Gallifrey
Man, this is one of the sets you will be actively disappointed in pulling a mythic.
It should certainly be in both of those.

Doing this in the middle of Ixalan spoilers is the weirdest thing.
Knight of the Reliquary, Archangel of Thune, Duress, and Swords to Plowshares.
Genesis Wave, Rune-scarred Demon...
Didn't even see those!
It also looks like they're not concerned about printing small numbers of keyworded cards (like Ancestral Visions and Flusterstorm.) I remember this being their reasoning for keeping Noble Hierarch out of one of the recent MM sets (not wanting to have a single Exalted creature in a set.)
I thought they excluded Noble Heirach from a Core Set because Exalted was in W/B and not Green in the set? Which of us is remembering this correctly?
Scapeshift seems likely for "25" because it's THE iconic card for its individual set, much like Port and MM.
I believe both these things were true!
From Sam Stoddard:
It appears that they've changed their tune on this. Unless I'm just not seeing the other Storm and Suspend cards in IM.
Yeah, that's a bad rule and I'm glad it's dead.

I saw a Durkwood Baloth, so that's two so far.

There are at least 2 each of storm and suspend. The white owl feathers storm is in.
You must have missed this in the flood of IM cards but yes, they said they are getting rid of it but its going to take a lot of errata.
