Maro's Wilds of Eldraine Teaser

Mark Rosewater gave his traditional teaser with the following hints.

First up, here are some things you can expect:

• A new type of token (at least done as a cohesive theme):
• A card that can activate to copy enchantments:
• Adventures on a new permanent type:
• An artifact that has two different artifact subtypes normally associated with artifact tokens:
• A creature type from Alpha gets a draft archetype:
• Fairy tale Sagas:
• Multiple legendary Foods:
• A new card with a lobotomy effect:
• A creature with two triggers, one for artifacts entering the battlefield and one for enchantments:
• A new mechanic that batches together three items that have been in the game since Alpha but never batched before:

Next, here are some rules text that will be showing up on cards:

• “If a permanent entering the battlefield causes a triggered ability of a permanent you control to trigger, that ability triggers an additional time.” —
• “Look at the top twenty cards of your library.” —
• “it produces three times as much of that mana instead.” —
• “Sacrifice all Reflections you control.” —
• “Creatures you control with +1/+1 counters on them have all activated abilities of all creature cards exiled with CARDNAME.” —
• “have base power and toughness 4/4 and flying.” —
• “exile up to one other non-Fox creature” —
• “Land creatures you control” —
• “Whenever you tap an untapped creature an opponent controls,” —
• “X is 2 plus the number of cards in your graveyard that are instant cards, sorcery cards, and/or have an Adventure.” —
