Storyline
Prophecy is set on the plane of Dominaria. Keld has declared war on Jamuraa. The city-states of Jamuraa form the Kipamu League and then repulse the invaders.
Tournament impact
Although contributing a few potent cards such as Avatar of Woe, Chimeric Idol, Foil, Mageta the Lion, and Spiketail Hatchling, Prophecy had an insubstantial impact on competitive Magic play and even had a paucity of playable cards in Limited. Mark Rosewater considers it the second worst designed set after Homelands, because it was too Spikey.
Themes and mechanics
Like Mercadian Masques, Prophecy had no new keywords. It did, however, introduce several new themes:
Anti-rebel — cards like Brutal Suppression and Rebel Informer. (see notable cards)
Rhystic magic — Discounted spells and abilities that work properly unless a specified player pays a set amount of mana.
A land theme, with several permanents having abilities involving sacrificing lands and several cards that gained bonuses when all of their controller's lands were tapped.
