- Marit Lage, from Dark Depths - "Badass"
- Pegasus, from Pegasus Refuge, Pegasus Stampede, Sacred Mesa, and Storm Herd - "Flap flap flap."
- Plant, from Avenger of Zendikar, Evil Comes to Fruition, Khalni Garden, and Nature Shields Its Own - "“Let it grow, let it grow. Let it blossom, let it flow.”—Eric Clapton"
- Prism, from Diamond Kaleidoscope - "Shine on you crazy diamond.—Pink Floyd"
- Reflection, from Pure Reflection (unimplemented) and Spirit Mirror - "Mirror, mirror on the wall . . ."
- Rukh, from Rukh Egg (though, strictly speaking, that should reuse Bird) - "Called “stonefeathers” by many lowlanders, rukhs are thought to descend from a phoenix that sacrificed its flame for a body of stone." (copied from Rukh Egg's 8th- and 9th-edition flavor text)
- Wood, from Jungle Patrol - "“Burn, baby, burn !”"
