Maro's Midnight Hunt teaser

Mark Rosewater gave his traditional teaser with the following hints.

First up, here are some things you can expect:

• three popular mechanics previously seen on Innistrad return — Flashback, Transform, and Investigate.
• a new drawback for creature tokens that lets us create them cheaper — Decayed
• a white card that could potentially draw you a card each turn — Sigarda's Splendor
• a popular Innistrad card gets reprinted — Delver of Secrets
• a curse that transforms into a creature — Curse of Leeches (Leeching Lurker)
• two permanents that can double something every turn — Unnatural Growth (Power/Toughness), Angelic Enforcer(Life total)
• a mythic cycle with “you may pay [COST] any number of times” — Bloodthirsty Adversary, Intrepid Adversary, Primal Adversary Spectral Adversary, Tainted Adversary
• a four mana blue aura with “You control enchanted creature.” — Grafted Identity
• A popular tournament card in multiple formats gets reprinted with its fifth piece of art. — Pithing Needle

• “At the beginning of your end step, if you have exactly 13 life,” —
