Before the release of the Avatar sets, there was a single Magic card whose name contained "Yoshi".
Now there are 13!
Yoshimaru, Ever Faithful {W} Legendary Creature — Dog Whenever another legendary permanent you control enters, put a +1/+1 counter on Yoshimaru. Partner (You can have two commanders if both have partner.) Day after day he sat there, knowing that the Wanderer would soon be back for him. 1/1 Illustrated by Ilse Gort

Got my copy of @sarenstone.com's
Follow Me Down!!! So excited, Saren was incredibly accommodating to me after I accidentally backed the campaign without rewards somehow! 😅

Incredible work, so much robotic goodness.

Hmmm... 🤔
Maralen of the Mornsong {1}{B}{B} Legendary Creature — Elf Wizard Players can’t draw cards. At the beginning of each player’s draw step, that player loses 3 life, searches their library for a card, puts it into their hand, then shuffles. Maralen sent Veesa, Endry, and Iliona—the Vendilion clique—on the gravest of tasks. 2/3 Illustrated by Mark Zug Vendilion Clique {1}{U}{U} Legendary Creature — Faerie Wizard Flash Flying When Vendilion Clique enters, look at target player’s hand. You may choose a nonland card from it. If you do, that player reveals the chosen card, puts it on the bottom of their library, then draws a card. 3/1 Illustrated by Michael Sutfin Sapling of Colfenor {3}{B/G}{B/G} Legendary Creature — Treefolk Shaman Indestructible Whenever Sapling of Colfenor attacks, reveal the top card of your library. If it’s a creature card, you gain life equal to that card’s toughness, lose life equal to its power, then put it into your hand. Her plans may yet bear fruit. 2/5 Illustrated by John Avon Ashling, Flame Dancer {2}{R}{R} Legendary Creature — Elemental Shaman You don’t lose unspent red mana as steps and phases end. Magecraft — Whenever you cast or copy an instant or sorcery spell, discard a card, then draw a card. If this is the second time this ability has resolved this turn, Ashling deals 2 damage to each opponent and each creature they control. If it’s the third time, add {R}{R}{R}{R}. 4/4 Illustrated by Michal Ivan

Lorwyn First Light is out today! This is a D&D supplement that takes players to the world of Lorwyn-Shadowmoor as it is today!

It won't be a physical book like our past MTG setting supplements (booooo!), and it's a lot shorter. But still worth checking out!
The cover art of Lorwyn First Light, which is weirdly devoid of any text or title. It depicts several figures from lorwyn-shadowmoor sitting together with an open book. The figures left to right are a boggart, a changeling, an elf, a faerie, and a kithkin. The right half of the cover is purple with the dusk of shadowmoor, while the left half is sunny with the light of Lorwyn.

Rare face posting. Played make-believe vampires with some hot nerds this weekend. VTM good.
A picture of me from the chest up wearing all black. My hairs kinda a mess and I have really big bags under my eyes that I'm only noticing now. But hey my make up ain't half bad.

Did you know we had an axolotl back in Lorwyn?
The Magic card, "Ethereal Whiskergill", which depicts an elemental who looks like a bright pink axolotl with long, wispy external gills. You might even say the gills look like whiskers, and do so ethereally.

That's a Rock Fact
Mockingbird {X}{U} Creature — Bird Bard Flying You may have this creature enter as a copy of any creature on the battlefield with mana value less than or equal to the amount of mana spent to cast this creature, except it’s a Bird in addition to its other types and it has flying. “Laughing at you? No, no, I’m laughing as you!” 1/1 Illustrated by Aurore Folny Lantern of the Lost {1} Artifact When this artifact enters, exile target card from a graveyard. {1}, {T}, Exile this artifact: Exile all cards from all graveyards, then draw a card. Illustrated by Chris Cold Garruk, Cursed Huntsman {4}{B}{G} Legendary Planeswalker — Garruk 0: Create two 2/2 black and green Wolf creature tokens with “When this token dies, put a loyalty counter on each Garruk you control.” −3: Destroy target creature. Draw a card. −6: You get an emblem with “Creatures you control get +3/+3 and have trample.” Loyalty: 5 Illustrated by Eric Deschamps Brainstone {1} Artifact {2}, {T}, Sacrifice this artifact: Draw three cards, then put two cards from your hand on top of your library in any order. One day, it might provide a flash of insight that turns the tide of battle. Meanwhile, it looks lovely on an end table. Illustrated by Drew Tucker

I don't even go here (FF14) but I have nothing normal to say about this robot
Machinist's Arsenal {4}{W} Artifact — Equipment Job select (When this Equipment enters, create a 1/1 colorless Hero creature token, then attach this to it.)

There's also a smaller subset of these cards that have never been on an *in-universe* card before, which is quite funny to me.
Weird bonus fact: both our game's Elevators are in-universe.
Quantum Riddler {3}{U}{U} Creature — Sphinx Flying When this creature enters, draw a card. As long as you have one or fewer cards in hand, if you would draw one or more cards, you draw that many cards plus one instead. Warp {1}{U} 4/6 Illustrated by Izzy Zookeeper Mechan {1}{R} Artifact Creature — Robot {T}: Add {R}. {6}{R}: Target creature you control gets +4/+0 until end of turn. Activate only as a sorcery. Infinite Guideline’s “Fauna from Sothera” exhibit proved popular. Unfortunately, the biological zookeepers kept getting eaten. 1/3 Illustrated by Justyna Dura Petting Zookeeper {2}{G} Creature — Elf Employee Reach When this creature enters, open an Attraction. (Put the top card of your Attraction deck onto the battlefield.) Calling it a “petting zoo” really saved on the cages. 0/4 Illustrated by Sebastian Giacobino Quantum Misalignment {4}{U} Sorcery Create a token that’s a copy of target creature you control, except it isn’t legendary. Rebound (If you cast this spell from your hand, exile it as it resolves. At the beginning of your next upkeep, you may cast this card from exile without paying its mana cost.)

Edge of Eternities was an interesting set for real words that have never been on Magic cards before due to their very modern nature.
Among them: Vocalist, Torpedo, Nutrient, Relations, Atomic

My personal favorite though: Download
#MTGEOE
Cerebral Download {4}{U} Instant Surveil X, where X is the number of artifacts you control. Then draw three cards. (To surveil X, look at the top X cards of your library, then put any number of them into your graveyard and the rest on top of your library in any order.) All Uthros networks are routed through an ancient relic called a memory vessel, which converts data into thought. Illustrated by Antonio José Manzanedo

Still thinking about Capenna's Humors-Based-HRT
A screenshot of text from the Magic the Gathering story "No Tells" by Isaac Gellman. It reads: "I don't get it, Yuma," said Elnor. She was cool for a woman with thunder pointed at her; I could smell the power, like the smell of rain coming to the desert. "Weren't we good to you? Didn't we accept you when nobody else did? Didn't we hook you up with the best body-man in the city to change your humors, to make you a fella?"
