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 — "mix-and-match" mechanics
- a Frog twenty-six years in the making — Jade Avenger, a riff on Chub Toad which had Bushido before the mechanic was named.
- 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 — 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.” — Deepwood Denizen
- “you may sacrifice a Mountain rather than pay this spell’s mana cost.” — Mine Collapse
- “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
Here are some type lines from the set:
- Artifact Creature – Assembly-Worker — Academy Manufactor
- Creature – Dinosaur Illusion — Phantasmal Dreadmaw
- Creature – Dauthi Rogue — Dauthi Voidwalker
- Creature – Skeleton Shaman — Clattering Augur
- Creature – Elemental Incarnation — Grief, etc.

- Legendary Creature – Merfolk God — Svyelun 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 don't count as they are not officially part of the MH2 (they are numbered separately).
