Before previews for March of the Machine 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:
• Numerous cards that mechanically care about Phyrexians
numerous cards, indeed• A double-faced token (one that transforms)
the incubate mechanic• A card that costs XUUUU
Transcendent Message• A variant of a mechanic returns to a premier set for the second time since it originally appeared
landcycling• A legendary creature returns not seen since Homelands
Invasion of Ulgrotha• A creature capable of dealing eleven poison counters
Etali, Primal Conqueror• Some planes show up in card names that have never done so before
several examples in the
battles• Wrenn returns with a new partner
Wrenn and Realmbreaker• Two draft archetypes that have a creature type matters component (one of which is Phyrexians - see above)
Phyrexians and Knights
• The tenth _____ & _____ sword
Sword of Once and FutureNext, here are some rules text that will be showing up on cards:
• “You may cast spells with flash or flying from the top of your library.”

Glistening Dawn• “Whenever a permanent you control transforms or a permanent enters the battlefield under your control transformed,”
Corruption of Towashi• “If
the an opponent protects it, remove a defense counter from it.”
Portent Tracker (MaRo had a typo in this one, which made it
really hard to predict, because the wording made no sense)
