Maro's MH2 Teaser

Mark Rosewater gave his traditional teaser with the following hints.[1][2][3]

First up, here are some things you can expect:

Here are some snippets from rules text that appear in the set:

Here are some type lines from the set:

Finally, here are some of the mechanics in the set

(I replaced all the letters with X's.) Each listed keyword is a different non-evergreen keyword. No promise that it will appear in the set more than once, but some do appear in number. Spaces or punctuation didn't get X's. Note: the MH1 reprints don't count as they are not officially part of the MH2 (they are numbered separately).

Notes

  1. Mark's teaser lists only two four-letter mechanics.
  2. Mark's teaser lists only eight eight-letter mechanics.
