Maro's Neon Dynasty Teaser

Mark Rosewater gave his traditional teaser with the following hints.[1]

First up, here are some things you can expect:

  • two different pairings of creature types get tribally connected — Samurai and Warrior; Ninja and Rogue
  • a black instant with “Destroy target creature or planeswalker” that can be cast for two mana —
  • a popular legendary creature from Champions of Kamigawa block returns in a new form —
  • an unnamed mechanic that cares about you having two things that Magic has had since its beginning — "Balance", a threshold ability where you need to control an artifact and an enchantment.
  • finish of a five-card cycle many years in the making — Kodama of the West Tree
  • one of Tamiyo’s children gets a legendary creature card — Nashi, Moonsage's Scion
  • a new creature token with an ability not seen before on a card —
  • two popular cycles from Champions of Kamigawa block return each with a new twist — Legendary dragons and ...
  • a creature that makes a legendary Frog creature token — Tatsunari, Toad Rider (Keimi)
  • two new Yamazakis

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

  • “you may cast target enchantment from your graveyard this turn.” —
  • “where X is the number of times this ability has resolved this turn.” —
  • “Whenever you cast an artifact, instant, or sorcery spell, copy that spell.” — Jin-Gitaxias, Progress Tyrant
  • “The first activated ability of an artifact you activate each turn costs 2 less to activate.” —
  • “Then repeat this process for an enchantment and a planeswalker.” —
  • “You may sacrifice a permanent that shares a card type with the chosen card.” —
  • “you may tap any number of untapped creatures you control.” —
  • “The ‘legend rule’ doesn’t apply to permanents you control.” —
  • “that ability triggers an additional time.” —
  • “if it has dealt 10 or more damage to that player this turn, they lose the game.” —

And finally, here are some creature type lines you’ll see:

  • Creature – Fox Pilot —
  • Creature – Turtle Ninja —
  • Creature – Moonfolk Samurai —
  • Artifact Creature – Goblin Artificer — Enthusiastic Mechanaut
  • Artifact Creature – Ogre Warrior — Unstoppable Ogre
  • Enchantment Creature – Rat Rogue —
  • Enchantment Creature – Egg —
  • Legendary Creature – Kirin Spirit —
  • Legendary Creature – Goblin Samurai — Goro-Goro, Disciple of Ryusei
  • Legendary Enchantment Creature – Snake Druid —

Other

  • The Beadle & Grimms metal counters are designed after a bronze Japanese coin from the years 1835 to 1870, which had a value of 100 Mon.
