Wizards of the Coast
Earlier this month, Wizards of the Coast teased that they will announce an upcoming Magic: The Gathering product made for the Modern format, and now, it looks like the name of that product has been revealed thanks to what seems like a description from the ChannelFireball Events.
According to Redditor MagicDan25, the registration page for Grand Prix Seattle on the CFBE website revealed that the new Modern product will be called Modern Horizons, and Grand Prix Seattle's format will be Modern Horizons Sealed.

It looks like that page from CFBE has already been updated to hide that information. Note that the price of the Grand Prix entry is $99.99 which is close to the regular price of a Limited format Grand Prix with Standard sets.
Yesterday, it was announced that NFL star Cassius Marsh and Magic pro Matthew Nass will be making a new Magic: The Gathering product announcement at 2 p.m. Pacific today, so it's likely that it will be the new Magic product for Modern that Wizards of the Coast have been teasing. Magic head designer Mark Rosewater is calling the it "this year's innovative product."
Modern Horizons is probably a "straight to Modern" product that will contain new cards for Modern as well as reprints that are Modern-legal. Earlier this month, Rosewater said that it's going to have an impact in the Modern format.
We'll share the details of the announcement later today so stay tuned.
What do you think of the name Modern Horizons? Are you a fan of it?
