I'm super late on this one, but here are all the hints we got for Commander Legends! I'll try to match hints with cards as they get revealed.

We got... a lot of hints this time, so I'll split them into three parts:




And we're done!

Maro 3 is Eligeth, Crossroads Augur, turning "Scry" into "Draw"

There's a leaked card that already matches the "11th in a cycle" clue, but I'm waiting for an official reveal.

5. There's a cycle of five legendary creatures with Partner that are all animal familiars.
Keleth, Sunmane Familiar, Esior, Wardwing Familiar, Falthis, Shadowcat Familiar, Kediss, Emberclaw Familiar, Anara, Wolvid Familiar

(Added Esior.)

3) There are multiple legends that have only ever had one attribution in flavor text.
Breeches, Brazen Plunderer (Gamble), Hans Eriksson (Revenant), Jeska, Thrice Reborn (Browbeat), Malcolm, Keen-Eyed Navigator (Scapeshift)

I believe that the creature type we haven't gotten in twenty years is Kobold.

There's a leaked card that already matches the "11th in a cycle" clue, but I'm waiting for an official reveal.

Doesn't entirely feel right for a card that adds CC to be a member of a cycle that adds two different colors of mana, but I guess it fits. Kind of disappointed it's just a colorless version with nothing to compensate for it, personally.

Except that in this context, being able to go in any deck is a form of compensation. Opening something with a two color identity which doesn't match your commander in the third pack of a draft would be far worse than opening something colorless at any point, I think.

The full image gallery is now up, which means all the hints have been revealed! Here are the last seven:

• A card that lists fourteen creature abilities
Akroma, Vision of Ixidor

• A card that returns three different cards types from the graveyard to the battlefield (and not a combination we’ve ever done before)
Triumphant Reckoning

• “chosen at random from among your opponents”
Explosion of Riches

• Legendary Creature – Elephant Warrior
Hamza, Guardian of Arashin

• Legendary Creature – Rabbit Wizard
Kwain, Itinerant Meddler

1) There is an 11th member of a popular 10-card cycle.
Guildless Commons

6) There is a reprint of an uncommon card in the set with this brand new artwork by Chris Cold.
Revenant

Is Kwain the first non-moonfolk anthropomorphic rabbit we've seen? Never mind, I realized it's easy to check. We've got Kezzerdrix and Vizzerdrix, but I'll say they don't count. Also I forgot that Moonfolk are listed as "Moonfolk" so we only have 4 "rabbit" cards.

Anybody think the familiar cycle might be a hint at what's in Strixhaven?

Both the turtle shaman and the rabbit wizard feel like a direction Eldraine could've gone in, but decided not to. I wonder if we'll ever get a world with that niche.

Familiars do feel very wizard school.

Everyone keeps seemingly forgetting moonfolk means moonfolk while Soratami specifically means rabbit themed.

... criminy I want them to use stuff like moonfolk and nightstalker again. And Soltari and Dauthi.
And dammit, we should have gotten a Metathran here!
