Revision as of 16:15, 27 May 2021
Mark Rosewater gave his traditional teaser with the following hints.[1][2][3]
First up, here are some things you can expect:
- a legendary character best known for having his name on a powerful card (that’s been banned) finally gets a legendary creature — Tourach, Dread Cantor
- a theme on only a handful of cards in Modern Horizons gets a larger presence — Squirrels
- a Frog twenty-six years in the making — Jade Avenger
- new split cards — Road // Ruin
- a Future Sight mechanic reused for the first time — Wizardcycling (Step Through)
- a character that first appeared in a Magic novel finally becomes a legendary creature — Garth One-Eye[4]
- a card with the number words "four" and "fourteen" — Fractured Sanity
- a fan-favorite animal character finally becomes a legendary creature — Piru, the Volatile
- a white enchantment with a trigger that investigates —
- a planeswalker from the past that has previously only had a legendary creature card — Dakkon, Shadow Slayer
Here are some snippets from rules text that appear in the set:
- “Whenever you cast your third spell each turn,” —
- “for each other Ooze you control.” — Aeve, Progenitor Ooze
- “If an ability of a <CENSORED> (Shaman) or another <CENSORED> (Wizard) you control triggers, that ability triggers an additional time.” — Harmonic Prodigy
- “This ability costs 1 less to activate for each +1/+1 counter on creatures you control.” —
- “you may sacrifice a Mountain rather than pay this spell’s mana cost.” —
- “Trample over planeswalkers” — Thrasta, Tempest's Roar
- “If an Insect card was milled this way,” — Grist, the Hunger Tide
- “Protection from permanents with corruption counters on them” —
- “choose a number between 1 and 5. Flip that many coins.” — Yusri, Fortune's Flame
- “instead create one of each.” — Academy Manufacturer
Here are some type lines from the set:
- Artifact Creature – Assembly-Worker — Academy Manufacturer
- Creature – Dinosaur Illusion — Phantasmal Dreadmaw
- Creature – Dauthi Rogue —
- Creature – Skeleton Shaman —
- Creature – Elemental Incarnation — Grief, Subtlety
- Artifact Creature – Clue Myr —
- Tribal Artifact – Lhurgoyf —
- Legendary Creature – Merfolk God — Svyelun, God of Sea and Sky
- Legendary Creature – Snake Elf Scout — Lonis, Cryptozoologist
- Legendary Creature – Squirrel Warrior — Chatterfang, Squirrel General
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 are not part of the MH2 set but are numbered separately.
