I think blue is probably the color short of 1 monocolored card - that's because of Aether Spellbomb - the only 1 artifact with a colored cost.
Then it all makes perfect sense and balance
White - 35
Blue - 34
Black - 35
Red - 35
Green - 35
Multicolor - 11 -- that's 10 color pairs and 1 Progenitus
Hybrid - 10 -- all 10 color pairs
___
that's 195
and #196 is Aether Spellbomb

Although blue has 35 spans, your solution looks very convincing,

Oh right, I completely forgot/ignored the spans. Now looking for a logical explanation on why would another color lack 1 mono card, perhaps there's none.
I counted 50 rares in the OP, so that leaves us with 3. Considering how red and green have 7 rares each, I'd guess that the other 3 colors have 1 remaining rare each.
I apologize for my lack of keeping up, i had to leave town for a family emergency.
I hope things are okay- I've had some of that myself lately
In other news, it looks like Red is Gettin' the Shaft Again (Gettin' it in the End).
I guess Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker is one of the only expensive R cards that could be included (and Sarkhan Vol),
but the Rares feel so weak... Countryside Crusher? Really?!

Crusher is a house in limited, and has seen a non-zero amount of modern play. Not that surprising, really.
Edit: That "T" slot between Goyf and TnN has a very likely possibility in Tilling Treefolk. GB Pox seems like a strategy that's being pushed for limited (which I love) and Tilling Treefolk supports that really well at common.
The "S" slot between Summoner's Pact (is this confirmed or just assumed to be a full cycle?) could be Sylvan Scrying but with Tron lands confirmed out, I don't see what archetype it really supports. I suppose it's decent colour fixing and can be useful for retrace purposes with Dakmoor Salvage.

Hope Damnation makes it in.
Already guarantees missing are mutavault and Urborg, Tomb of Yawgmoth, Vesuva......there are many good NB lands are not going to be in MM that are on Tier 1 deck lists.
Also still missing Crucible of Worlds, Thoughtseize, Sower of Tempation, Scapeshift, Prismatic Omen, Glimpse the Unthinkable (no longer fits the crunch), Fulminator Mage, Noble Hierarch, Master of Etherium....and a few others that I thought should be there.
For the 4 remaining.....hopefully, Thoughtseize, Noble Hierarch, and Damnation are in there.

Soooo, with both Thallid (#167?) and Thallid Germinator (#168?) where does that leave the number crunch? Was the Tooth and Nail fake or is the number just wrong?
Edit: I think I got the numbers wrong the first time. 167 and 168 make more sense.

Fixed
Hybrids: we are looking for a WU and a UR
Not sure I understand, why are we calculating up to 196 and not 229? There are no basic lands in this set.
Oh right, I completely forgot/ignored the spans. Now looking for a logical explanation on why would another color lack 1 mono card, perhaps there's none.

with Dredge&Retrace being drafted too
life Life from the Loam + Knight of the Reliquary + Worm Harvest + Dakmor Salvage +Greater Gargodon to support
if you open this in your pack this will be one of yours 1st picks or one of the chooses
if Flame Jab or Raven's Crime ends up in MM
I for sure would draft it
looking for Lightning Helix + Kitchen Finks + Manamorphose to make the deck better

I m happy that with RTR and MM people can built tier 1,5-2 decks over from packs or buying it at a low price

would be nice to have Gaea's Blessing too
like Dakmoor Salvage + Gaea's Blessing + retrace in the midgame
EDIT:also
looks all like good chooices for 1th pick
this set is looking soo good to draft
Hope Damnation makes it in.

just that it wasn't exactly in desperate need of reprint.
I suppose the whole limited thing explains it rather well.

whats the point of these cards without Valakut of Urza's lands?
yeah
- Noble Hierarch
- Master of Etherium
being out is sad but soo far MM is looking soo good to draftThe Urza's lands are very abundant if you don't mind white border cards. Valakut is very easy to obtain....and cheap on the wallet too.
i m not talking about availability of cards
cards in MM are draftable
what the point of putting the cards in if you can't use it in limited
Tombstalker is in
The only white modern legal cards that could be in MM and after Yosei, the Morning Star (33).
Personally, I'm hoping for the Knight, first strike bears are nice.
Edit: I think I got the numbers wrong the first time. 167 and 168 make more sense.
