Oh I forgot Lightning Bolt on my list!
... but they refuse to reprint any of the 5 boons but Giant Growth nowadays so I doubt it will happen.

We had Lightning Bolt as recently as M11. I'd say it's highly possible. Dark Ritual not being in Modern does suggest we won't see it though, and obviously Ancestrall Recall being on the no reprint list (and a member of the P9) means it's a no-go. Giant Growth is highly possible, though we have it in RtR block so at least it'll have the new art. And Healing Salve, well, that card just sucks, so it's arbitrary.

An updated version of the cycle could be really neat.

Healing Salve is just weak, so it doesn't make it worthwhile printing it since noone likes it.

Dark Ritual is no longer a black effect, it's red, and they probably won't print a red-shifted duplicate just because of how they'd have to autoban it in Modern and keep an exceptionally close eye on it in Standard. (Maybe in an upcoming Commander or Planeshift product).

Ancestral Recall is just too good by far.

Bolt has been and gone. It could come back in the future, but since Rancor only just replaced it I'd say it's unlikely.

They don't even print Giant Growth much anymore.

It should be about giving black cards to Niche.

Dark Ritual into Hypnotic Specter / Necropotence / Black Knight and Unholy Strength , just to name three common first-turn plays. Also, it's more red these days.

Healing Salve isn't about power, but modality. It has two modes, something Core Set commons usually don't do.

I don't know why no Bolt though.

Cloak of Mists would be a good evasion aura and a fine enabler for Cipher. Spreading Seas is a bit late for M13, but there's a chance Master of the Pearl Trident could see reprint, thus helping fish decks become a thing again. But there's also a chance Merfolk Sovereign will see reprint in lieu of the Master, possibly making ciphered fish decks a thing.

Nighthaze would work well with Contaminated Ground and thus also enable Cipher.

Flame Slash would be good anti-creature burn. Thunderbolt would be good if creatures with flying are a problem.

Predator's Strike would be a good replacement for Titanic Growth , swapping an extra +1/+1 for a relevant keyword bonus.

For what it's worth, it's not that the core sets CAN'T have multi-color, it's that they HAVEN'T YET.  It is a popular, intuitive mechanic that could easily be included instead of a keyword.

Except for Nicol Bolas, Planeswalker , because he can.

And it's also busted as hell on any fatty with hexproof.

That was kinda the point.

@Nivean: Technically, it's a mechanical theme. Multicolor isn't a mechanic itself, you have

* Abilities with a c trigger and a d effect
* Chinese menu multicolor (bonus as it's also a cycle)
* Domain
* Off-color kicker
* Off-color flashback
* Chinese menu domain
* Intersection hybrid
* Chinese menu hybrid
* Chinese menu hybrid for auras
* Hybrid that only works in monocolor or two-color decks
* Tribrid
* Multicolor as a wincon
* Off-color activation
* Does X, but also does Y if you pay another color
* Feng shui cards

To bad Miracle will be on it's way out the door by that time.

And as crazy as it might sound I'd like to see the Innistrad lands replace the current M13 lands.
