==Set details==
[[File:MH2_Sketch_showcase - Dakkon_Shadow_Slayer.png|right|thumb|200px|Sketch showcase treatment.]]
Like ''Modern Horizons'' before, this set introduced new cards into [[Modern]] and [[Eternal (format)|eternal]] [[format]]s without them ever being legal in [[Standard]].<ref name="and More"/> It features a host of powerful new toolbox cards, strong themes to try out, and several throwbacks. The set was unique in its development in that it brought in four high-profile ''Magic'' personalities (Zac Elsik, [[Sam Black]], [[Brian Braun-Duin]], and [[Brad Nelson]], the latter two of whom were in the [[Magic Pro League]] at the time) to consult;<ref name="Approach 2">{{DailyRef|making-magic/modern-approach-part-2-2021-05-31|A Modern Approach, Part 2|[[Mark Rosewater]]|May 31, 2021}}</ref><ref>{{WebRef|url=https://articles.starcitygames.com/select/cataloging-my-work-on-modern-horizons-2/|title=Cataloging My Work On ''Modern Horizons 2''|author=[[Sam Black]]|date=June 3, 2021|publisher=[[StarCityGames]]}}</ref> Normally, those who have seen card files of future releases are forbidden from competitive play lest they gain an advantage by having foreknowledge of those cards.

This set contains 303 regular cards {{curmb|101|100|78|24|}} and includes randomly inserted [[premium]] versions of all cards.<ref>{{DailyRef|feature/modern-horizons-2-release-notes-2021-06-04|''Modren Horizons 2'' Release Notes|[[Jess Dunks]]|Jun 4, 2021}}</ref> New cards and in-Modern [[reprint]]s are numbered #001-#261, while the New-to-Modern [[reprint]]s are numbered #262-#303. Alternate card frames have another card number than the original version. [[Borderless]] planeswalkers are numbered #304-306, followed by the other borderless cards #307-326. The (54) [[showcase]] "sketch cards" are numbered #327-380. The (61) [[retro frame]] cards are #381-441 and cards with [[extended artwork]] are numbered #442-480 and [[Bundle]] [[basic land]]s are #481-490<ref name="Overview"/>, the [[Buy-a-Box]] card is #491 and the [[Bundle promo]] is #492. MH1 retro frame cards (only found in Collector Boosters) are numbered separately #1-40 with set code ???

All five [[enemy color]]ed [[fetch land]]s appear at [[rare]] in the set and can be found in regular [[Draft Booster]]s.<ref name="Recap"/> The Set - and Collector Boosters include [[extended art]] versions and retro (pre-[[Modern]]) [[card frame]] treatments for the fetch lands and many other cards.<ref name="Summer"/><ref name="BF">{{DailyRef|feature/booster-fun-modern-horizons-2-2021-05-21|Booster Fun of ''Modern Horizons 2''|[[Clayton Kroh]]|May 21, 2021}}</ref> Another frame treatment is seen on the showcase "sketch cards". These feature the [[artist]]'s sketch of the main card artwork and only is featured for new cards.<ref name="Summer"/><ref name="BF"/> Instead of [[flavor text]], they feature fragments from the [[art]] description that was sent to the artists when creating each card's artwork if space provides.

''Modern Horizons II'' is also released on [[Magic Online]]. While the set was not released on [[MTG Arena]], 128 cards included in ''[[Jumpstart: Historic Horizons]]'' were reprints from ''Modern Horizons II''.

===Storyline===
[[File:MH2 Bundle.png|thumb|right|MH2 Bundle featuring [[Dakkon Blackblade]] [[key art]]]]
There is no storyline associated with this set, but there are several [[Dakkon Blackblade]]-related cards.<ref name="Decadent"/>

===Marketing===

==Themes and mechanics==
[[File:MH2 Draft Archetypes.png|thumb|right|''[[Modern Horizons II]]'' draft archetypes]]
The set was announced to have a higher power level and greater complexity with even more of what players loved in ''Modern Horizons''.<ref name="and More"/><ref name="Decadent"/> It had access to more mechanics, eventually featuring 59 named non-evergreen mechanics (listed [[Modern Horizons II/Trivia#Finally, here are some of the mechanics in the set|here]]).<ref name="Teaser">{{EzTumblr|https://markrosewater.tumblr.com/post/651531290028457984/maros-modern-horizon-2-teaser|title=Maro’s Modern Horizon 2 Teaser|May 18, 2021}}</ref><ref>{{EzTumblr|https://markrosewater.tumblr.com/post/651533649238474752/sorry-i-need-to-clarify-my-question-a-bit|title=Sorry, I need to clarify my question a bit.|May 18, 2020}}</ref> Some of them are [[Mix-and-match|mixed and matched]]. In addition, it makes more use of [[legendary]] creatures and leans a little heavier into [[multicolor]].<ref name="Decadent"/>

A new variant on an evergreen mechanic is '''[[Trample over planeswalkers]]''' ''(This creature can deal excess damage to the controller of the planeswalker it’s attacking)''. 

With <c>Caprichrome</c>, the set also introduced the keyword variant '''[[Devour artifact]]''', that changes the type that can be [[devour]]ed from creatures to artifacts.

<c>Junk Winder</c> is the first card to feature '''[[Affinity]] for [[token]]s'''.

''Modern Horizons II'' features the following [[limited]] [[archetype]]s:<ref name="Twitch">[https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1029499176 Weekly MTG: Modern Horizons 2 Previews on Twitch]</ref>

===Notes===
:{{note|MH1 reprint|*}} MH1 reprint

==Notable cards==
*<c>Aeve, Progenitor Ooze</c> is the first creature with [[storm]].
*<c>Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar</c> is the first creature spell with no mana cost, due to its name being too long.<ref>{{DailyRef|card-preview/challenge-accepted-2021-05-26|Challenge Accepted!|[[Aaron Forsythe]]|May 26, 2021}}</ref>
*<c>Dermotaxi</c> is the first [[vehicle]] without [[crew]].
*<c>Fast // Furious</c> may be seen as a nod to [[Wikipedia:Fast & Furious|the series of movies of the same name]].
*{{card|Imperial Recruiter||MH2|#=314}}'s new borderless art depicts <c>Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker</c> and <c>Pestermite</c>, a well known [[combo]] with the recruiter.
*<c>Parcel Myr</c> is the first nontoken [[Clue]].
*<c>Power Depot</c> is the first non-creature [[artifact]] with [[modular]].
*<c>Urza's Saga</c> is an [[enchantment land]] and another in the line of cards with the [[Magic: The Gathering/Statistics and trivia#Sets named after cards|name of a set]]. Its [[subtype]]s create a stealthy pun that also forms the name of the set and refers to the [[Urzatron]] lands.

===Banned and restricted cards===
*<c>Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer</c> stood out as a powerful first-turn play that is often considered to be extremely dangerous to be hit with even once due to the Treasure given. While still hugely impactful in Modern and Vintage, Legacy's specific line of <c>Volcanic Island</c>, Ragavan, and <c>Daze</c> was considered too much to bear. It was banned in January 2022, and later pre-emptively banned in Historic when it was introduced to ''Arena'' through ''[[March of the Machine/Multiverse Legends|Multiverse Legends]]''.
*<c>Fury</c> was a format-defining card immediately, along with its cycle of Elementals, as a manaless anti-creature measure. However, unlike the other four, it was also an extremely fast clock, especially in conjunction with <c>Undying Evil</c> and adjacent effects; games could be stolen by simply casting a 4/4 double strike on turn 1 for the price of two other cards. The opportunity cost to do so meant that any creatures it could also kill were driven from the format, so it was banned in December 2023 from Modern.
*<c>Galvanic Relay</c> and <c>Chatterstorm</c> were lower-powered Storm payoffs for various formats, weaker versions of <c>Mind's Desire</c> and <c>Empty the Warrens</c> respectively. That said, Pauper's storm engine is still sufficiently powerful that these needed to join the list of common Storm cards that were banned. <c>Chatterstorm</c> was banned in September 2021, and <c>Galvanic Relay</c> was banned in March 2022.
*<c>Sojourner's Companion</c> is a strictly better <c>Myr Enforcer</c> through its landcycling ability, which upped the consistency of Pauper Affinity decks by finding the new Bridge lands. While in itself not the biggest threat, it was banned in September 2021 to slightly depower Affinity decks in a way that doesn't neuter them entirely.

|-
|<c>Abundant Harvest</c>
|<c>Abundance</c>
|A single triggering of Abundance in sorcery form.
|-
|<c>Aeromoeba</c>
|<c>Aquamoeba</c>
|A larger, flying Aquamoeba, with a similar flavor text scheme and abilities.
|-
|<c>Altar of the Goyf</c>
|<c>Tarmogoyf</c>, {{Card|Akroma's Memorial}}
|A [[tribal]] [[Lhurgoyf]] card, which boosts it for most of Tarmogoyf's stats. Tribal was the least-populous type at the time and all were poor fits for a Tarmogoyf deck, giving an extra way to do so. It's also an artifact that grants creatures the ability of a popular card, similar to how {{Card|Akroma's Memorial}} grants creatures the abilities of {{Card|Akroma, Angel of Wrath}}.
|-
|<c>Arcbound Javelineer</c>
|<c>Icatian Javelineers</c>
|Javelineers, with similar artworks, enter with a counter that can be removed to deal 1 damage.
|-
|<c>Arcbound Slasher</c>
|<c>Slash Panther</c>
|4M, 4-power red artifact cat creatures with haste. The Slasher can trade haste for an extra +1/+1 counter.
|-
|<c>Arcbound Whelp</c>
|<c>Furnace Whelp</c>
|An artificial <c>Furnace Whelp</c>.
|-
|<c>Archfiend of Sorrows</c>
|<c>Drown in Sorrow</c>
|A [[Demon]] that casts <c>Drown in Sorrow</c> at your opponents. The color scheme is similar.
|-
|<c>Archon of Cruelty</c>
|<c>Cruel Ultimatum</c>, <c>Grave Titan</c>
|A 6/6 [[Archon]] that casts a portion of <c>Cruel Ultimatum</c> with a "Titan trigger."
|-
|<c>Batterbone</c>
|<c>Batterskull</c>
|Both are [[living weapon]]s with [[vigilance]] and [[lifelink]]. The new card is a cheaper and smaller version of the older card, with a diminutive naming scheme to match. 
|-
|<c>Blacksmith's Skill</c>
|<c>Karametra's Blessing</c>
|{{W}} pump spells that are identically powerful for particular dual-typed creatures, but with the primary and secondary effects inverted.
|-
|<c>Blazing Rootwalla</c>
|<c>Basking Rootwalla</c>
|Both are one-mana 1/1 [[Lizard]]s with [[madness]] {{0}} and a once-per-turn pump ability.
|-
|<c>Blessed Respite</c>
|{{card|Fog||EMA}}, <c>Gaea's Blessing</c>, <c>Respite</c>
|A merging of Fog and Gaea's Blessing, both in art and abilities; with its name taken from Respite, which also has a [[fog]] effect.
|-
|<c>Bloodbraid Marauder</c>
|<c>Bloodbraid Elf</c>
|Another Bloodbraid creature that can cascade, if you have delirium.
|-
|<c>Blossoming Calm</c>
|<c>Blossoming Defense</c> 
|Effectively casts <c>Blossoming Defense</c> on a player, the two life mirroring the +2 toughness.
|-
|<c>Bone Shards</c>
|<c>Bone Splinters</c>
|A more versatile Bone Splinters.
|-
|<c>Bottle Golems</c>
|<c>Bottle Gnomes</c>
|3-toughness artifact creatures that gain life upon death with similar art, flavor text and abilities.
|-
|<c>Brainstone</c>
|<c>Mind Stone</c> and <c>Brainstorm</c>
|A Mind Stone for Brainstorm.
|-
|<c>Breya's Apprentice</c>
|<c>Breya, Etherium Shaper</c>, <c>Loyal Apprentice</c>
|A <c>loyal apprentice</c> to Breya that is smaller, less flexible, and mono-red (ironically, the color not present in Esper, Breya's birthplace). The way Breya's Apprentice makes Thopter tokens is similar to the similarly-named Loyal Apprentice.
|-
|<c>Break The Ice</c>
|<c>Sinkhole</c>
|{{B}}{{B}} land destruction spells.
|-
|<c>Cabal Initiate</c>
|<c>Putrid Imp</c>
|Black creatures that can discard cards for a keyword and gain stats when [[Threshold]] is achieved.
|-
|<c>Calibrated Blast</c>
|<c>Erratic Explosion</c>, <c>Explosive Revelation</c>
|An <c>Erratic Explosion</c> that swaps the choosing and revealing, allowing it to be calibrated to the appropriate target - ironically, the new version randomizes the revealed cards whereas the previous template allowed selection. The same mana cost as <c>Erratic Explosion</c> and the card advantage of the flashback ability is reflected in the flashback cost being the same as <c>Explosive Revelation</c>, which drew the revealed card.
|-
|<c>Captain Ripley Vance</c>
|<c>Vance's Blasting Cannons</c>
|Both triggering after the third spell, with the Captain's damaging effect similar to <c>Spitfire Bastion</c>'s activated ability.
|-
|{{Card|Caprichrome}}
|{{Card|Atog}} and [[Atog|its family]]
|A more conventional play on the urban legend of goats eating tin cans - this rumor was the inspiration of the Atog mechanical lineage.
|-
|<c>Captured by Lagacs</c>
|<c>Saddleback Lagac</c>
|Green spells that [[Support]] 2 upon entry. The name was intended to semi-rhyme like the original, but the playtest name ended up sticking<ref>{{TwitterRef|Murk_Lurker|1399953402658885634|author=[[Andrew Brown]]|title=Captured By Lagacs|date=June 1, 2021}}</ref>.
|-
|<c>Chatterstorm</c>
|<c>Chatter of the Squirrel</c> and <c>Crow Storm</c>
|A [[storm]] version of <c>Chatter of the Squirrel</c>, similar to {{Card|Crow Storm}}
|-
|{{Card|Chef's Kiss||MH2}}
|{{Card|Wild Ricochet}}
|Spells that copy and reselect the targets of a spell. Given the blowout potential, it seems to be named after the memetic phrase of when something goes perfectly.
|-
|<c>Dakkon, Shadow Slayer</c>
|<c>Dakkon Blackblade</c>
|The number of loyalty counters <c>Dakkon, Shadow Slayer</c> enters with is determined by the number of lands you control, like the original <c>Dakkon Blackblade</c>'s power/toughness.
|-
|<c>Damn</c>
|<c>Damnation</c>, <c>Wrath of God</c>
|A smaller version of Damnation, which can [[overload]] into Wrath of God.<ref>{{DailyRef|card-preview/damn-2021-05-28|Damn|Editors of the Coast|May 28, 2021}}</ref><ref>{{TwitterRef|EthanFleischer|1398423399488122880|author=[[Ethan Fleischer]]|title=DAMN|date=May 29, 2021}}</ref>
|-
|{{Card|Dauthi Voidwalker}}
|{{Card|Dauthi Slayer}}, {{Card|Leyline of the Void}}
|An aggressive shadow creature coupled with a graveyard hate ability.
|-
|<c>Diamond Lion</c> 
|{{card|Lion's Eye Diamond||MIR}}
|Both artifacts force the controller to sacrifice the permanent and discard their hand to add three mana of one color. References [[List of secondary characters/Dominaria|Afari]], author of the ''Tales'' of [[Jamuraa]], for the first since ''[[Visions]]''. The lion's pendant matches the earring in the original art.
|-
|<c>Disciple of the Sun</c>
|<c>Sun Titan</c>
|Sun Titan's disciple with lifelink and a cheaper cost but a downgraded ability from the titan itself.
|-
|<c>Drey Keeper</c>
|<c>Deranged Hermit</c>
|Both create [[Squirrel]] tokens and pump Squirrels. "Drey" and "deranged" are partial homonyms.
|-
|{{Card|Dress Down}}
|{{Card|Snakeform}}, {{Card|Turn to Frog}}
|Reverses the trope where a polymorphed person no longer fits their clothing from the change in size, in that the creature doesn't change size but loses its "clothing" all the same. Has Flash as a pun regarding the exposing of oneself in a quick manner.
|-
|<c>Echoing Return</c>
|<c>Echoing Decay</c> et al
|Another spell dealing with cards of the same name, a first to target off the battlefield.
|-
|<c>Endurance</c>
|<c>Gaea's Blessing</c><ref name="Horizons 2"/>
|A graveyard-removing pitch spell that affects all the cards in the target player's graveyard, instead of just three.
|-
|{{Card|Esper Sentinel}}
|{{Card|Ethersworn Canonist}}, {{Card|Thalia, Guardian of Thraben}}
|A new hatebear modeled after two of the most iconic; an artifact creature with conservative Esper leanings, and a Human Soldier that taxes noncreature spells.
|-
|{{Card|Etherium Spinner}}
|{{Card|Thopter Foundry}}
|Almost an anti-reference in flavor text: Etherium Spinner encourages expensive spells to make thopters, deriding the cheap, expendable artifacts desired for a Thopter Foundry.
|-
|<c>Faithless Salvaging</c>
|<c>Faithless Looting</c>
|A draw-and-discard spell, but rearranged to fit Red [[looting]], or rummaging. Salvaging compensates for Looting's cheaper cost by being an instant, while the Rebound ability mimics Flashback.
|-
|<c>Flame Blitz</c>
|<c>Curse of Opulence</c> et al
|Depicts [[The Unluckiest]].
|-
|<c>Flametongue Yearling</c>
|{{card|Flametongue Kavu||PLS}}
|A young Flametongue Kavu who can pump itself to deal higher damage when it enters the battlefield. The picture matches the original art.
|-
|{{Card|Flay Essence}}
|{{Card|Parting Thoughts}}
|3-mana black sorcery removal spells with a bonus based on the target's counters.
|-
|<c>Fodder Tosser</c>
|<c>Fodder Cannon</c>
|Damaging artifacts that (directly or otherwise) cost cards, with instructions to use cousins as fodder.
|-
|<c>Foundry Helix</c>
|<c>Warleader's Helix</c>, {{Card|Sacred Foundry}} 
|A cheaper Warleader's Helix if an artifact is sacrificed; the name refers to the Boros [[shockland]], whose name generally had little to do with the Boros.
|-
|<c>Fractured Sanity</c>
|<c>Sanity Grinding</c>, <c>Decree of Justice</c> et al
|A card that if [[cycle]]d has a similar but lesser effect than if it was hard cast, like the decrees. The spell takes the mana cost, name, and effect (milling) from <c>Sanity Grinding</c>.

|-
|<c>Marble Gargoyle</c>
|<c>Granite Gargoyle</c>
|A color shifted version (and also made an artifact) of the original Gargoyle, which was a color bend in ''[[Alpha]]'', as Red does not get small fliers nor the toughness pumping ability. A second paragraph on gargoyles from Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar's Underworld Cookbook makes up the flavor text.
|-
|{{Card|Mine Collapse}}
|{{Card|Cave-In}}, {{Card|Thunderclap}}

|-
|<c>Out of Time</c>
|<c>Parallax Wave</c>

|Another of the Elder Dragons of Dominaria, with the same styled mana cost and upkeep cost, who was the life partner of [[Chromium Rhuell]] and slain by [[Dakkon Blackblade]]. The template used for the elder dragon cycle in ''Legends'' is updated to modern power level standards to give players a reason not to pay the upkeep cost of the costly creature. In Piru's case, is to cause a board wipe to nonlegendary creatures, making the downside a way to gain access to the upside.
|-
|<c>Profane Tutor</c>
