Mark Rosewater gave his traditional teaser with the following hints.[1]
First up, here are some things you can expect:
- A white creature that can make an opponent lose the game simply by attacking them no matter how much life they have
- A multicolor creature that lets you repeatedly reanimate permanents out of your opponent’s graveyard for no mana
- Three creatures with five creature types
- An artifact granting +2/+2 to a subset of creatures that first appeared in Alpha
- X being used for a variable it’s never been used for before
- a 6/6 artifact creature that costs 3 and a 7/5 artifact creature that can cost 3
- The return of four mana symbols that have each only ever been used on two cards before
- Lands that come with a choice you’ve never had before
- Targeted enchantment removal in black
- A red/white creature with a line of rules text that starts with “Whenever” and ends with “draw a card”
- A card with three different activated abilities that all copy something
Here are snippets of rules text, you’ll see:

- “equal to 20 minus”
- “Cowards can’t block Warriors”
