The WUBRG Enchantment may be a Saga showing the New Gods taking control from the old ones. Ah no, who would a Saga be Legendary...could just show the act of achieving Godhood?

Many possibilities but three come to my mind: A Hunted creature so opponents get tokens too; something like "Whenever a creature you don't control dies, its controller gains 2 life." or the same but you lose the life maybe; or defender.

It could just be a card that have a poison theme but I think we'll get a one off with Poison counters. Not likely Infect or any keyword though.

Door to Nothingness reprint. I mean could be a new card but hey it'd be neat.

I'm still banking on this being Rabid Butt or Butt of the Hammer, maybe Butt Fling

Hard to guess on "Noncreature tokens" since most are probably card or theme specific.

The copy of target permanent is probably gonna be an ETB on some wizard, but you sac the token if it leaves the battlefield (and probably gonna either say "Another" or have it be a like Attack Trigger)

Two guesses for the black Clone: Can copy stuff that dies, can copy stuff from grave. I know very generic but I doubt they'll just straight up color shift Clone and especially not into Black.

What type have people been wanting?

I find it most interesting the "Activation cost" ability says Activation cost, not Activated abilities. So is it one ability with three ways to pay? Maybe one is smaller but taps and two more expensive but repeatable ones?

The Protection from God creatures could be some sort of giant monster, maybe that Legendary Wolf as a reference to Fenrir.

Yep Magda has been shown.

Three or more creatures is probably on a Valkyrie. I bet it'll be like 5 drop y'know just Serra Angel in WB but get an extra copy if three creatures have died that turn.

The at Random is interesting. Hard to guess at what. Maybe a Tormenting Voice variant. Discard a card, choose at random, draw that many cards.

The "except for Giants, Wizards, and lands" makes me imagine it'll but a Giant Wizard that freezes down everything except those three. "Permanents don't untap during their controller's untap step, except for Giants, Wizards, and lands." I was gonna guess it bounces everything except those but hey "Frost giants" ya'know?

I'm still banking on Rune being an Instant/Sorcery type so this'll be a probably Human maybe Giant or Spirit Wizard that fetches one on ETB.

I expect the "Three or more Legendary creatures" to be on an artifact or enchantment for some reason. Could be the five color Legendary Enchantment.

“X is the number of Vehicles you control plus the number of Equipment you control” I'll call it: Legendary Boros Dwarf that makes that many Dwarf tokens on attack.

7 or more life is probably also a Valkyrie, maybe it's a like two drop that gets a boost when you're at it. Not as strong as Serra Ascendant but maybe like Concordant Pegasus with Lifelink for WW up to a Serra Angel?

As always hard to guess for the "X of those tokens instead" but I really want it to be a Dwarf that makes your token producers into making making tokens equal to the number of Dwarves and Vehicles you control. Maybe a Shapeshifter with "If you would create one or more creature tokens, you may create X of those tokens instead where X is the number of creatures you control that share a type with those tokens."

Angel Warrior isn't the impressive after Zendikar. I expect multiple.

Zombie Rogue not existing surprises me. How even? I assume it'll mill on etb and/or attack and maybe become a copy of something milled this way?

Dwarf Cleric is so unimpressive how did he even think it was noteworthy? But the Skald at least has been one.

Horse Spirit eh? Could just be the set's Pegasus Courser which is always a nice card in limited.

Vampire Dragon is an awesome type. Hopefully it doesn't disappoint. I expect flying and haste and/or lifelink.

The Wolf is probably a mixture of like Fenrir and other large Wolves. I kinda expect a low CMC card with a huge body but limits for when it can even attack or block.

Not much to guess for a Bird Spirit, WU probably, flying, either aggro or control, will have people go "Oh a card for my Bird/Flying tribal decks", end with less than 200 decks on EDHRec. No idea why I got so negative lol

Giant Wizard could easily be the Winter Orb Giant I mentioned above.

Legendary Demon Berserker is such a cool typeline that if the card disappoints I will be pissed. I could see something recursive but also with a downside.

Squirrel is Ratatoskr. Maybe we can finally get another 1-drop Legendary.

Butt Fling might be a bit too good with Charix, the Raging Isle in standard.

Vampire dragon is probably our Nidhoggr stand in.
Similarly, the bird spirit could be the eagle atop yggdrasil.

The legendary Wolf is indeed Fenrir.

Pretty flavorful design, too.

I'll be honest, I've long held that I get irritated that giant is a race instead of a template. I've accepted it.
However, just this once, they had an excuse to make it a giant wolf. Because Fenrir was part jotunn.

What type have people been wanting?

Seal people perhaps? Flavor texts have mentioned Tuskeri, and I don't think we've actually seen Tuskeri. Bit odd for seal folk to explore searing hot places though, admittedly.
(Now personally I want Giraffe, but Kaldheim is not quite the right world for them, I have to acknowledge.)

I think the type people have been asking for may be Bard.

There’s been a Bard shown (something Skald, with Skalds being Norse bards) who is just a Cleric. I already considered that

Choose at random might be something like this

Choose 2, 3, or 4 at random.
Search your library for a card with converted mana cost equal to the chosen number, reveal it, and put it into your hand. Then shuffle your library.

Butt Fling might be a bit too good with Charix, the Raging Isle in standard.


Given the newest design philosophy trends and the fact Charix has a ridiculously high toughness for its CMC and abilities, I think Butt Fling might just be possible.

"a card that lets you use a creature’s toughness to perform an action normally using a creature’s power"

maybe a card that lets you crew with toughness.

I got the same idea too, but only posted it in Discord. It makes sense with the Vehicles being important to Dwarves.

The whole "choose, 1, 2 and 3 at random" in Tibalt's Trickery just seems so pointless.
