Innistrad Midnight Hunt Spoilers: Daily Roundup for September 9, 2021

Well, previews are finally winding down for Innistrad: Midnight Hunt, as today is the last day for new cards to be revealed according to the official schedule. Wizards has saved some serious power for the last day, so we’re in for a bit of a ride (although Tuesday’s announcement of a Delver of Secrets reprint is pretty hard to top). Today, we’ve got a powerhouse mono-green Mythic, a callback to Declaration in Stone, Unsummon gets an upgrade, even more legendary creatures, and plenty of others. Standard is about to be thrown to the wolves, and I could not be more excited.

A Reminder: Doing Things a Bit Differently

Our Daily Roundup series will be continuing as previews roll out, but we’re going to try formatting things a little bit differently than in the past. Rather than listing all of the cards that are spoiled each day (there’s a very large volume of them), we’re going to break down the mythics, rares, and a selection of other cards that either show off new mechanics, seem impactful for constructed Standard, or are significant in some other way.

Our main spoilers page will still contain all of the spoilers from the set as they are released of course, including the draft commons and uncommons that may be omitted here.

Please let us know what you think of this change! There are a few things changing behind the scenes here at MTGA Zone and we are trying to find the best way to present the spoilers to our readers, so we are very interested in your feedback. You can leave a comment on this article or write us a message on the MTGA Zone Discord to share your thoughts.

A Few Notes:

  • This page is a WIP and will be regularly updated throughout the day as more cards are previewed.
  • Some cards are previewed in languages other than English with no official translation immediately available. Be aware that the exact wording of cards with non-English text may not be perfectly accurate.
  • Not all of the cards that have been revealed are listed on this page. Instead, the most interesting and impactful cards will be highlighted here; please see our main spoilers page to find all of the cards that have been previewed so far.

Without further ado, let’s dive into some spoilers! Cards have been listed alphabetically and categorized by rarity. See below for quick links for your browsing convenience.
