I don't think there is one yet, at least not one posted recently. If there is, feel free to correct me.
Didn't see your second comment when I was writing mine, disregard.

Considering SOI's dual colored mythic rares would it be right to presume that Eldritch Moon will have Mythic Rares of the color combinations that were not mythic in the previous set? (Those color combinations being Dimir, Azorius, Izzet, and Simic.)
June 30, 2016 8:57 a.m.
T1: New 1-Drop 2/1 Werewolf
T2: Lambholt Pacifist
Flip, Swing for 2 (2 total)
T3: Shaman of the Forgotten Way, Swing for 2 (4 Total)
T4: Tap,Sac Shaman, Decimator, Swing for 16 (20 total)
All cards that I could see being played in a mono-green aggro.
Even if they kill the 1-Drop or 2-Drop, they will be in a tight spot with a 7/7 Trample Haste hitting the battlefield on T4.

PistonGolemStopShot Ludevic as Izzet mythic maybe?

How many mythics do we normally get per set? We currently know 8:
- New Tamiyo
- New Liliana
- Emrakul
- Decimator
- Ulrich
- Gisa & Geralf
- Tree of Perdition
- Gisela.

I'm currently hoping for a simic legend- such an under-loved colour in terms of potential commanders (which according to Duel Commander ban list, is probably a good thing, since most UG commanders get banned over there :L)
June 30, 2016 9:45 a.m.
There are normally 15 Mythic Rare per large set, and 10 per small set.
With DFC cards in a set, this can change.
DFC Mythics do not count toward the 15/10 per set.
(Note: SOI has 18 Mythic cards. 15 normal + 3 DFC's)
It is likely that EDM will have it's usual 10 + 2-3 DFC's
Gisela (DFC's into Half Brisela) if a DFC
Ulrich is a DFC Mythic.
We have seen 4 other Mythics so far:
Emrakul
Decimator
Tree of Perdition
Gisa / Geralf
So there should be 6 more Mythic non-DFC's, and possibly one more Mythic DFC (less likely).
Of those, we can be fairly certain of:
Tamiyo
Liliana

Kind of excited about this set. Was disappointed with Emrakul but many of the other cards have been top notch.
June 30, 2016 10:06 a.m.
2-Drop 1/1's aren't usually exciting... but...
Madness enabler, AND synergistic with other madness enablers.
Note that the tokens are Horror's... also synergistic with Thing in the Ice.
Unfortunately, Thing in the Ice Flip, This, and Jace, Vryn's Prodigy Flip all take up 2-Drop slots. Could be hard to use all these synergistic cards properly in a deck.

Oh damn. I like how it's any discarded creature and not just ones from its own ability.
June 30, 2016 10:21 a.m.
Discarding a Madness creature lets you cast the creature for it's madness cost as well as create a token...
T1: Mountain, Falkenrath Gorger
T2: Island, This
T3: Mountain, swing, discard and cast Insolent Neonate, and create a 3/2.
Seems like a nice aggressive line with multiple types of evasion as well as utility and synergy.
June 30, 2016 10:30 a.m. Edited.
This card almost plays itself...
With just this and a Mana dork in your opening hand (plus land)
T1: Forest, Birds of Paradise
T2: Forest, This, sac'ing Bird. - get Eternal Witness, return This...
...
blink
...
Oh damn.... RTFC! "Exile Eldritch Evolution."
Would have been great for a T3 5-drop from your Library needing only 2 specific cards in hand. - I guess they designed the card to be balanced. :-(
June 30, 2016 10:43 a.m. Edited.
Still... a T2: "Any 3-drop, from Library to Battlefield"... quite nice.

Hi_diddly_ho_neighbor says... #21
Wowwwwww! So we now have Natural Order in standard:
Name: Eldritch Evolution - SorceryCMC: 1GG
"As an additional cost to cast Eldritch Evolution, sacrifice a creature
Search your library for a creature card with converted mana cost X or less, where X is 2 plus the sacrificed creature's converted mana cost. Put that card onto the battlefield then shuffle your library. Exile Eldritch Evolution."
June 30, 2016 10:44 a.m.
Eldritch Evolution is AMAZING drools
It's a Natural Order that costs 
less, but exiles itself after cast. And instead of Green focus its now cmc focused? NEED.
June 30, 2016 10:45 a.m.
Hi_diddly_ho_neighbor Haha I got ninja'd three times myself XD
June 30, 2016 10:48 a.m.
Eldritch Evolution, sac'ing Matter Reshaper to get Reality Smasher... yay!
June 30, 2016 10:49 a.m.
JDMCRIB Oh god....
In other news Geier Reach Sanitarium looks good.
Legendary Land
T: Add colourless
2, T: Everyone loots.
Just what my Colourless EDH needed! :D
June 30, 2016 10:51 a.m.
Guftders And then you can Emerge a Decimator next turn, buffing your Eldrazi Mimic :)
And the Sanitarium looks good; essentially a looter version of Mikokoro, Center of the Sea. Madness synergies ensue!
June 30, 2016 10:55 a.m.
Sanitarium + Notion Thief was the first thing that came to mind...
: Draw 2, then each player discards a card.
Fun times.

Don't make me regret building a Standard deck more than I already do, JDMCRIB.
June 30, 2016 10:57 a.m.
It's the Eldrazi version of Desolate Lighthouse.
They probably could have named it in a more flavourful way to properly allude to that.
Image, for those who haven't seen it.

Geier Reach Sanitarium
Legendary Land
Tap, add a colorless to your mana pool
tap: each player draws a card, then discards a card
meh, i wish it didn't say each player

Oh god damn that is a nasty combo....wow!
A turn 4 Reality Smasher...that will suck for your opponent

I absolutely love the Sanitarium's art... its what Innistrad art used to and still should be primarily IMO.
Its an auto include in a lot of EDH decks obviously, Nekusar and group hug will love it.
Eldritch Evolution will hopefully become a budget version of Natural Order (a card I have been trying to get my hands on for a while). Its better in a lot of ways but far worse because it exiles itself so you can't recur it.
Decimator of Provinces.... hot damn. I was thinking green was boring so far in this set but I am reconsidering. Its got some serious EDH staples now and a couple of fun limited bombs.
Last, I find it slightly annoying that Eldritch Evolution appears to show a boar that could be the early stages of the Decimator of Provinces... its a minor gripe but only in extreme cases will you ever be casting evolution to search for Decimator... you would lose his cast activation!! lol
June 30, 2016 11:27 a.m.
I don't play Standard, so if someone wants to develop a 
Eldrazi deck with the combo I put up there, please do.
June 30, 2016 11:37 a.m.
ehh..
this card is nuts..
Kitchen Finks -> Goblin Dark-Dwellers -> flashback the card (targeting dwellers) -> find something for 7 or less and put into play.. What can you find for 7 or less that would increase this chain?
edit: Goddamit, it exiles :(

I've now read like a dozen posts across different places of people excited about Eldritch Evolution, then editing their post inside 15 minutes correcting themselves about the exile part.
Maybe they should add underlined text to the card templates :)

Eternal Scourge
3
Creature - Eldrazi Horror
You may cast Eternal Scourge from exile.
When Eternal Scourge becomes the target of a spell or ability an opponent controls, exile it.
3/3

Geier Reach Sanctum slots right in to Modern Turns. Sweet.

I don't get why everybody is trying to recur Evolution. The card is stupid by itself.
June 30, 2016 12:11 p.m.
Everything's falling into place for a sweet U/G emerge deck. I almost never play green, but I'd love to play it.
June 30, 2016 12:18 p.m.
The exile is fine. I'm totally ok to only turn a single Priest of the Blood Rite into a Dragonlord Atarka for 3 mana. If it has been milled, then Goblin Dark-Dwellers can recur it just fine. Definitely trying out an emerge/evolution deck after everything has been released. Also, we still have Den Protector, Deathmist Raptor and the new 3/3 to clog up the board with value and provide good sac targets.

ducttapedeckbox says... #47
In Modern,
- T1 Green source, mana dork
- T2 Eldrazi Temple, Matter Reshaper
- T3 'Eldrich Evolution', finding Reality Smasher and getting Reshaper trigger.
Meh.

Aw I was just about to post that, DarkLaw.
That's nuts with Madness decks or Modern 8-Rack.

Rayenous, Blisterpod could get the 10cmc guy T4... ouch. Donate in standard??? Will this see play in legacy? This set keeps getting better and better. Trees and cats and things and 13.
