Daxos the Returned
“Daxos of Meletis was killed by a Planeswalker he loved, but he was freed from the Underworld in a cruel bargain with the god of the dead. Now he is one of the Returned, traveling across the plane of Theros in an endless search for his beloved Elspeth Tirel — but she has taken his place in the realm of the dead. His blank, featureless face is hidden behind a golden mask twisted into a grotesque caricature of his grief.”

Kalemne, Disciple of Iroas
"The giants of Theros are born from the land itself, drawing their strength from the ancient rocks of the hills, the roots of old-growth trees, the surging waters of great rivers, and even the darkness of echoing caverns. Kalemne, though, has turned to a different source to refine and hone her power: she offers her devotion to the god of victory and heroism, mighty Iroas. Anything but a savage brute, Kalemne is a true disciple of the soldier’s god, leading superhuman troops — angels, giants, and even dragons — to glorious triumphs."

Flashback
Flashback is a new Graveyard mechanic that allows players to cast spells directly from their Graveyard.
It works in a similar way to Escape, but instead of focusing on gaining mana from Graveyard gems only, it benefits from having other cards with Flashback in your Graveyard, playing well with self mill and self discard.
Flashback ability hint reads:
“When this card enters your Graveyard from anywhere, the last first card with Flashback in your Graveyard gains 2 mana. When you cast this card from your Graveyard, exile it.”
Flashback Evergreen
Experience Points
Experience reads:
“Experience points can empower certain abilities of cards and Planeswalkers.”

Ability Hint Change - Graveyard Gems
The description has changed from: “When you match a Graveyard Gem, the last card in your graveyard with Buried, that can gain mana, gains 3 mana.” to: “When you match a Graveyard Gem, the first card in your graveyard with Buried, that can gain mana, gains 3 mana.”Mechanic Change - Vigilance
The current Vigilance hint reads:
“This creature blocks your opponent's creatures but lets creatures with Defender or Reach block first."

Card Changes
Exclusive Card Nantuko Monastery (Mythic) has been buffed. The amount of cards for the second and third Threshold ability has been reduced from 4 to 3 and from 7 to 5, respectively.
The following former promotional cards are now available in the Booster rotation From the Vault, Odyssey:
Barbarian Ring, Cabal Pit, Centaur Garden, Cephalid Coliseum, Nomad Stadium.
And all 5 cards have been buffed. The amount of cards for the first and second Threshold ability has been reduced from 3 to 2 and from 7 to 4, respectively.
Due to the Vigilance ability change, some cards lost some of their written abilities that were emulating Vigilance, and gained the evergreen instead:
Questing Beast (ELD) reads now: “While this creature is on the battlefield, your opponent's creatures lose Defender. Whenever this creature deals combat damage to an opposing Planeswalker, an opposing Vanguard loses 3 shield.”
Realm-Cloaked Giant (ELD) gains Vigilance and the former description has been removed.
Linden, the Steadfast Queen (ELD) now reads: “Leader: Human, Knight. Whenever this creature attacks, gain X life. X is this creature's reinforcements.”
Faeburrow Elder (ELD) now reads: “When this creature enters the battlefield, it gets +1/+1 for each color among nontoken cards you control. Activate 3: For each color among nontoken cards you control, convert 1 gem to that color.”
To avoid potential misunderstandings, the description of the following cards with Adamant was changed:
Searing Barrage (ELD) now reads: “Deal 4 damage to target opposing creature. Adamant - Red: Then, deal 4 damage to your opponent's Planeswalker.”
Slaying Fire (ELD) now reads: “Deal 5 damage to any target. Adamant - Red: Then, an opposing Vanguard support loses 3 shield.”
Turn into a Pumpkin (ELD) now reads: “Return target creature to its owner's hand. Then, draw a card. Adamant - Blue: Then, create a Food Token.”
Arcades, the Strategist (M19) now reads: “Whenever a creature with Defender or Vigilance enters the battlefield under your control, draw a card. While this creature is on the battlefield, your creatures with Defender or Vigilance get +X/+0, where X is their toughness.”
Infuriate (M20) has its Power and Toughness bonus increased and reads: “Target creature you control gets +6/+3 until end of turn.”
Tezzeret, Master of the Bridge (WAR) Vanguard Card has changed the second active ability to “Exile the first 4 cards from your library. Then, move the first 2 non-spell Artifacts from your exile to play under your control.”
In order to align some cards, there has been a change to the following cards: Razia, Boros Archangel (GRN), Underrealm Lich (GRN) and Ugin's Conjurant (WAR) are losing Prevent Damage for 3 turns, instead of 2. This is an effort to standardize with other cards that have the same ability: Polukranos, Unchained (THB) and Oathsworn Knight (ELD).
Card Emry, Lurker of the Loch (ELD) has changed to not interact with Artifact Spells and reads now: “This card's cost is reduced by 1 for each Artifact you control. When this creature enters the battlefield, destroy the top 5 cards from your library. At the end of your turn: Return the first Artifact creature or Artifact support from your graveyard to play under your control.”
Card Molderhulk (GRN) has changed to not interact with Land Spells and reads now: “Undergrowth: 8: This creature’s cost is reduced by X. When this creature enters the battlefield: Return the first Land Support from your graveyard to the board under your control.”

The following cards gained Berserker:
Murderous Rider (ELD)
Silverback Shaman (M20)
Goblin Cratermaker (GRN)
Debtor's Transport (RNA)
Orzhov Racketeers (RNA)
Cauldron Familiar (ELD)
Giving defender or berserker to various commons/uncommons that have "on-death" beneficial effects and no particular way to trigger them makes perfect sense (so even though this nerfs Cauldron Familiar in the one deck I use it in, I understand). However, this seems like an unnecessary nerf to Murderous Rider and a major nerf to Orzhov Racketeers.
In order to align some cards, there has been a change to the following cards: Razia, Boros Archangel (GRN), Underrealm Lich (GRN) and Ugin's Conjurant (WAR) are losing Prevent Damage for 3 turns, instead of 2.
