Shadowmoor's enemy colors
What this set is
Eventide closes the Shadowmoor block and does for the enemy color pairs what Shadowmoor did for the allied ones: 85 of its 180 cards are hybrid, and the set is built around white-black, blue-red, black-green, red-white and green-blue.
It added retrace, which lets you cast a card from your graveyard by discarding a land, and its cards count colored mana symbols with chroma. The five enemy filter lands, Rugged Prairie, Cascade Bluffs, Flooded Grove, Fetid Heath and Twilight Mire, finished the filter-land cycle.
Bloom Tender, which taps for each color among your permanents, is its most played Commander card after the filter lands. Its two legends are Sapling of Colfenor and Ashling, the Extinguisher.
