Over the course of the last several days, Wizards of the Coast has revealed a handful of cards fromMagic: The Gathering’s forthcoming set, Theros: Beyond Death. These cards include a brandnew Gruul God, a Legendary Satyr lord, and more, but these reveals were merely an entree to the Theros: Beyond Death preview season, which is now in full swing. Indeed, today, December 30, was the first day to see multiple cards from the new set officially revealed, and all of them can be found collected below.
Of the 20 Theros: Beyond Death spoilers shared today, 14 are brand new cards and 6 are reprints. Five of the reprints are the allied colored Scry Lands, which will compliment theenemy colored Scry Landsthat were reprinted in Core Set 2020 and are sure to see play in Standard, and the sixth is Field of Ruin. While there are currently no lands causing a great deal of trouble in Standard, thanks to the banning of Field of the Dead, Field of Ruin is an excellent safety valve moving forward.

With respect to the new cards being introduced inTheors: Beyond Death, several seem quite powerful. Erebos, Bleak-Hearted, which allows players to draw cards when another one of their creatures dies, seems especially strong alongside the already-proven engine of Cauldron Familiar and Witch’s Oven, for instance, and Woe Strider may find a home in such a sacrifice-based Standard deck as well.
Another card of interest is certainly Underworld Breach, though it is difficult to determine if it has a place in Standard at this time. This Enchantment gives every card in a player’s graveyard Escape, a newTheors: Beyond Death mechanic, and while Underworld Breach may ultimately prove to be one of the many wacky but unplayable red Enchantments, it could be seriously powerful with the right support.

This level of sharing will continue through the end of next week, at which point fans will have a real sense of what this newMagic: The Gatheringset will bring to the game when it releases at the end of January.
