#maro teaser

Before previews for Aetherdrift officially begin, I thought it would be fun to do another of my Duelist-style teasers where I give tiny hints of things to come. Note that I’m only giving you partial information. 

First up, here are some things you can expect: 

• 13/13 Vehicle with Crew 2 that costs one mana to cast

• Mechanic called Start your engines!

• Three planeswalker native to one of the worlds visited, and one non-native, gets a desparked legendary creature version

• Cycle of vanilla legendary creatures

• Cat and Dog Mounts

• An old God returns and new Gods are introduced

• New Lotus

• Cycle of multicolored Gearhulks

• Numerous mechanics from the worlds visited get cameos

• New Vehicle artifact token

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

• “This creature saddles Mounts and crews Vehicles using its toughness rather than its power.”

• “Whenever you draw a card, each opponent mills two cards.”

• “Other Dinosaurs you control get +1/+1.”

• “Whenever a player casts a spell they don’t own,”

• “{T}: Add {R} for each Goblin you control.”

• “During turns other than yours, this Vehicle is an artifact creature.”

• “Whenever you activate an exhaust ability, draw a card.”

• “Put any number of permanent cards from your hand onto the battlefield.”

• “Whenever you attack, if a Pirate and a Vehicle attacked this combat,”

• “Creatures you control have base power and toughness 6/6 and are Oozes in addition to their other types.”

 Here are some creature type lines from the set: 

• Creature – Seal Pirate

• Creature – Lizard Berserker

• Creature – Insect Archer

• Creature – Kor Pilot

• Artifact Creature – Robot Turtle

• Creature – Ape Druid

• Creature – Zombie Cat Knight

• Creature – Vedalken Ranger

• Creature – Dinosaur Dragon Mount

• Legendary Creature – Aetherborn Rogue

 Finally, here are some names in the set: 

• Adrenaline Jockey

• Flood the Engine

• Gas Guzzler

• Maximum Overdrive

• Pedal to the Metal

• Road Rage

• Roadside Assistance

• The Speed Demon

• Spin Out

• Syphon Fuel

• A popular and powerful creature card from an Innistrad set gets reprinted.

• A new legendary creature card that combines two characters that previously each had their own legendary creature card.

• A legendary character returns, but now as a Vampire.

• Legendary Creature – Human Peasant

• Legendary Creature – Spirit Warlock

• Legendary Creature – Slug Horror

• Legendary Creature – Kraken Horror

• Legendary Creature – Vampire Noble (two new ones)

---------------------------

The popular and powerful creature from an Innistrad set has to be The Gitrog Monster. Unless it's a nonlegendary card, in which case I have no idea.

Innistrad sets have contained so many Legendary Creatures, I wouldn't know which two would be on one card. Gisa and Geralf have already been on a card together. I could see Odric and Thalia on the same card, though.

A legendary character returns, but now as a Vampire? Again, with all the legendary creatures in Innistrad, this could be anyone. I don't remember any side stories where someone might become a vampire.

Before previews for The Lord of the Rings: Tales of Middle Earth ™ officially begin, I thought it would be fun to do another of my Duelist-style teasers where I give tiny hints of things to come. Note that I’m only giving you partial information.  

First up, here are some things you can expect:  

• five different card types get the legendary supertype

• a decently sized “legendary matters” theme

• new nonmana ward costs  

• a mechanic returns but now references a different creature type

• a card that makes a Smaug creature token  

• two three-color and one four-color legendary creature to go along with the five-color one already previewed

• a lot of one-of “creature type matters” cards

• a mechanic returns that I had to fight tooth and nail to get into the set it premiered in

• a new creature type gets its own equip cost

• some counters in the set: burden, deathtouch, first strike, hope, indestructible, influence, lifelink, lore, stun, verse, vigilance, and +1/+1

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

• “Whenever you attack with Merry and another legendary creature,”

• “Then create a Food token for each creature you control.”

• “Remove an indestructible counter from Arwen:”

• “Copy any number of target instant and/or sorcery spells.”

• “Whenever you draw a card during an opponent’s turn, create a 1/1 blue Tentacle creature token.”

• “Whenever a creature an opponent control dies, put a +1/+1 counter on Legolas.”

• “Target opponent gains control of target Horse you control.”

• “When this ability resolves for the third time this turn, Gimli fights up to one target creature you don’t control.”

• “You may pay 0 rather than pay the equip cost of the first equip ability you activate during each of your turns.”  

• “Whenever you put one or more counters on Aragorn, put one of each of those kinds of counters on up to one other target creature.”

Here are some legendary creature type lines in the set:  

• Legendary Creature – Avatar Demon

• Legendary Creature – Bird Noble

• Legendary Creature – Halfling Knight

• Legendary Creature – Halfling Soldier

• Legendary Creature – Horse

• Legendary Creature – Kraken

• Legendary Creature – Nymph

• Legendary Creature – Spirit Noble

• Legendary Creature – Spider Demon

• Legendary Creature – Wraith Noble

Finally, here are some card names from the set:

• Birthday Escape  

• Breaking of the Fellowship

• Fear, Fire, Foes!

• Grond, the Gatebreaker  

• Horses of the Bruinen

• Lembas

• One Ring to Rule Them All

• Oliphaunt

• Second Breakfast

• There and Back Again

I'm going to need this to be cleared up a bit more. Parts of it contradict other parts of it. Will there be three planeswalkers, one from each plane visited, plus one non-native, and a desparked one?

The desparked planeswalker is Basri Ket.

So again, will there be a planeswalker from each of the three planes plus a non-native planeswalker?
