Maro's MH2 Teaser

Mark Rosewater gave his traditional teaser with the following hints.

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 — "mix-and-match" mechanics
• 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
• a card with the number words "four" and "fourteen" — Fractured Sanity
• a fan-favorite animal character finally becomes a legendary creature — Ragavan, Nimble Pilferer
• a white enchantment with a trigger that investigates — Search the Premises
• 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,” — Captain Ripley Vance
• “for each other Ooze you control.” — Aeve, Progenitor Ooze
• “If an ability of a <CENSORED> or another <CENSORED> you control triggers, that ability triggers an additional time.” — Harmonic Prodigy (Shaman, Wizard)
• “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” — Geyadrone Dihada
• “choose a number between 1 and 5. Flip that many coins.” — Yusri, Fortune's Flame
• “instead create one of each.” — Academy Manufactor

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).
