+ классический тизер от МаРо
Before previews for The Lost Caverns of Ixalan officially begin, I thought it would be fun to do another of my Duelist-style teasers where I give tiny hints of things to come. Note that I’m only giving you partial information.
First up, here are some things you can expect:
• a new card with the word “three times” in its rules text
• a new land subtype
• an aura card we’ve reprinted numerous times over twenty years appears with a new name and is one mana cheaper
• a redone version of a popular mechanic that first premiered in 2009
• a new mechanic representing crafting
• a card capable of animating both artifacts and enchantments
• a popular Tempest sorcery returns as an “enter the battlefield” effect
• a new ability word that cares about what is in your graveyard
• some counters in the set: bore, chorus, dread, finality, landmark, lore, net, point, stun, and time; one of which is a new deciduous counter
• some creature tokens: 0/1 green Dinosaur Eggs, 1/1 colorless Gnomes, 1/1 white Vampire, 1/1 blue Merfolk, 1/1 black Bat, 1/1 black Fungus, 2/2 black Skeleton Pirate, 3/1 red Dinosaur, 3/2 red and white Spirit, 3/3 green Dinosaur, 4/3 black Vampire Demon, 4/4 white Angel, 4/4 white and blue Golem (note that some of these tokens have additional abilities)
Next, here are some rules text that will be showing up on cards:
• “As an additional cost to cast this spell, tap four untapped artifacts, creatures, and/or land you control.”
• “Until end of turn, target artifact or creature becomes a Dinosaur”
• “Then destroy all other creatures if its power is exactly 20.”
• “When you <new keyword>, <new keyword> again for the same value.”
• “Whenever you’re dealt combat damage, the attacking player gains control of CARDNAME and untaps it.”
• “Equip – Pay {3} or discard a card.”
• “Whenever you cast a permanent spell using mana produced by CARDNAME, up to one other target permanent you control becomes a copy of that spell until end of turn.”
• “Skeletons you control get +1/+0 and have haste.”
• “If a triggered ability of another creature you control of the chosen type triggers, it triggers an additional time.”
• “When there are 1,000 or more time counters on CARDNAME, sacrifice it and each opponent loses 1,000 life.”
Here are some creature type lines from the set:
• Artifact Creature – Dinosaur Gnome
• Creature – Salamander Wurm
• Creature – Merfolk Warrior Scout
• Legendary Creature – Bat God
• Creature – Capybara
• Legendary Creature – Skeleton Spirit Pirate
• Artifact Creature – Nautilus
• Creature – Beast Horror Spirit
• Creature – Fungus Snail
• Creature – Dinosaur Skeleton Horror
Finally, here are some names in the set:
• Braided Quipu
• Calamitous Cave-In
• Careening Mine Cart
• Chupacabra Echo
• Diamond Pick-Axe
• Eaten by Piranhas
• Out of Air
