As one preview set ends, the hype for another begins! Innistrad: Midnight Hunt will be the next Standard set after D&D Forgotten Realm‘s release. Midnight Hunt will be released this September and will be the first of two Innistrad sets, with Crimson Vow the second entry being released in November.
The Innistrad Japanese packaging was leaked on the MTG subreddit earlier today. While these aren’t confirmed to be real, they do look genuine enough. As per with a set release, there are Draft, Set, and Collector Boosters available to purchase upon release.
Innistrad: Midnight Hunt Draft Boosters
As you can see on the Draft Boosters, Teferi is going to visiting the plane of Innistrad. We’ve seen a smattering of powerful Teferi cards such as Teferi, Hero of Dominaria
Teferi, Hero of Dominaria+1: Draw a card. At the beginning of the next end step, untap up to two lands.
−3: Put target nonland permanent into its owner's library third from the top.
−8: You get an emblem with "Whenever you draw a card, exile target permanent an opponent controls.", and Teferi, Time Raveler
Teferi, Time RavelerEach opponent can cast spells only any time they could cast a sorcery.
+1: Until your next turn, you may cast sorcery spells as though they had flash.
−3: Return up to one target artifact, creature, or enchantment to its owner's hand. Draw a card.. With that, Teferi, Master of Time
Teferi, Master of TimeYou may activate loyalty abilities of Teferi on any player's turn any time you could cast an instant.
+1: Draw a card, then discard a card.
−3: Target creature you don't control phases out. (Treat it and anything attached to it as though they don't exist until its controller's next turn.)
−10: Take two extra turns after this one. from Core Set 2021 has seen little play due to the lower power level. Maybe, we’ll see Teferi will return to form on Innistrad.
Interestingly, the Werewolf in the Draft Booster pack could suggest the return of Arlinn Kord. Arlin first featured in Shadows Over Innistrad and then in War of the Spark, both cards support the Werewolf theme well. Since Innistrad: Midnight Hunt focuses on Werewolves, Arlinn’s return could be quite likely.

Innistrad: Midnight Hunt Set Boosters
Looking at the Set Boosters, it’s likely we’ll get another Wrenn and Six
Wrenn and Six+1: Return up to one target land card from your graveyard to your hand.
−1: Wrenn and Six deals 1 damage to any target.
−7: You get an emblem with "Instant and sorcery cards in your graveyard have retrace." (You may cast instant and sorcery cards from your graveyard by discarding a land card in addition to paying their other costs.)-style card. Printed in Modern Horizons 1, the planeswalker sees extensive play due to its ability to recur lands. It’s unlikely we’ll see a direct reprint in Innistrad: Midnight Hunt, but maybe an evolution on the card. However, it’s likely we’ll see a Wrenn & Seven as Wrenn uses the Treefolk as an organic host. Through planeswalking, the Treefolk can deteriorate, and currently Wrenn is on her sixth host.

−7: You get an emblem with "Instant and sorcery cards in your graveyard have retrace." (You may cast instant and sorcery cards from your graveyard by discarding a land card in addition to paying their other costs.) with another anonymous character which we’ll see once preview season begins.
