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:

  • a legendary character best known for having his name on a powerful card (that’s been banned) finally gets a legendary creature —
  • a theme on only a handful of cards in Modern Horizons gets a larger presence — Squirrels
  • a Frog twenty-six years in the making —
  • new split cards —
  • a Future Sight mechanic reused for the first time —
  • 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 —
  • 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> or another <CENSORED> you control triggers, that ability triggers an additional time.” —
  • “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.” —

Here are some type lines from the set:

  • Artifact Creature – Assembly-Worker —
  • Creature – Dinosaur Illusion —
  • Creature – Dauthi Rogue —
  • Creature – Skeleton Shaman —
  • Creature – Elemental Incarnation — Grief
  • Artifact Creature – Clue Myr —
  • Tribal Artifact – Lhurgoyf —
  • Legendary Creature – Merfolk God —
  • Legendary Creature – Snake Elf Scout —
  • 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.
