Before previews for Streets of New Capenna 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 mana costs, using existing mana symbols, that we’ve never used before
• a spell that costs 13BB
• a mechanic we’ve tried to get in numerous sets finally finds a home
• a creature type theme for a draft archetype that’s never been used before
• a red creature that can make token copies of creatures you control
• a card that adds WWUUBBRRGG
• a mechanic which first premiered in a Standard-legal set in the 00’s sees a return to Standard
• a card that makes Cat and Dog tokens
• a draft theme caring about a threshold in the graveyard we haven’t cared about before
• multiple white cards capable of drawing a card each turn
Next, here are some rules text that will be showing up on cards:
• “Then if you control ten or more creatures, you may play the exiled card without paying its mana cost.”
• “Copy target spell you control that wasn’t cast.”
• “As an additional cost to cast this spell, sacrifice a creature, discard a card, or pay 4 life.”
• “If exactly three colors of mana were spent to activate this ability,”
• “Create a 1/1 blue Fish creature token”
• “When you cast this spell, copy it.”
• “WUBRG, T, Sacrifice CARDNAME:”
• “where X is the number of permanents you’ve sacrificed this turn.”
• “Count the colors of the sacrificed creature,”
• “You may cast any number of the copies without paying their mana costs.”
Finally, here are some creature type lines in the set:
• Creature – Devil Warrior
• Creature – Raccoon Rogue
• Creature – Bird Assassin
• Creature – Plant Dinosaur
• Artifact Creature – Treasure Dog
• Artifact Creature – Angel Warrior
• Legendary Creature – Sphinx Demon
• Legendary Creature – Cat Citizen
• Legendary Creature – Cephalid Advisor
• Legendary Creature – Vampire Demon Noble
