Before previews for Edge of Eternities 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:

• repeatable activated ability that lets you draw two cards and create a 2/2 creature token

• white card that can return noncreature, nonland cards from the graveyard to the battlefield

• another “Arch” charm

• card that makes you choose odd or even

• new artifact token called Munitions

• variant on devour

• card that lets you take control of an opponent

• legendary five-color artifact

• poison card

• card that grants an ability to Slivers

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

• “Whenever you play a land or cast a spell, draw a card.”

• “If it’s not a creature, it becomes a 0/0 Robot artifact creature.”

• “You may play lands from your graveyard.”

• “you may instead create that many tokens that are copies of enchanted permanent.”

• “Artifact cards and red cards in your hand have”

• “put target creature from defending player’s graveyard onto the battlefield under your control tapped and attacking.”

• “The first spell each player casts during each of their turns may be cast without paying its mana cost.”

• “X is the number of differently named lands you control.”

• “Artifacts you control are Foods in addition to their other types”

• “Spells you cast have affinity for artifacts.”

Here are some creature type lines from the set:

• Creature – Jellyfish Scientist

• Creature – Insect Artificer

• Creature – Plant Scorpion

• Creature – Drix Assassin

• Creature – Elemental Lhurgoyf

• Creature – Mite

• Artifact Creature – Robot Pangolin

• Legendary Creature – Kavu Scout

• Legendary Creature – Lobster Citizen

• Creature – Eldrazi

Finally, here are some names in the set:

• Close Encounter

• Command Bridge

• Decode Transmissions

• Emergency Eject

• Invasive Maneuvers

• Lost in Space

• Nebula Dragon

• Space-Time Anomaly

• Systems Override

• Tractor Beam

Tune into Edge of Eternities’ debut at 10:00 am Pacific Time on July 8th on twitch.tv/magic.

“you may instead create that many tokens that are copies of enchanted permanent.”

Finally, legal squirrellink!

Space-Time Anomaly

End the turn or extra turn? What do we think?

card that lets you take control of an opponent

Presumably this will come at a cost, but I am intrigued

@killeronthecorner @MysticKetchup It's not like this effect wasn't in Alpha, it being in a new set shouldn't be that shocking.

another “Arch” charm

My guess is white. We already have blue and green as far as I remember, leaving white, red, and black.

card that makes you choose odd or even

Reprint of Extinction Event?

new artifact token called Munitions

Combat trick token? I doubt it does direct damage, but a combat trick (like tap+sac for +1/+0 until end of turn) seems possible.

card that lets you take control of an opponent

Definitely an Eldrazi card. New Emrakul?

card that grants an ability to Slivers

So a Sliver.

Edit since I got a chance to read the rest:

“If it’s not a creature, it becomes a 0/0 Robot artifact creature.”

New scissors card?

“You may play lands from your graveyard.”

Crucible of Worlds reprint would fit really well here.

“Artifact cards and red cards in your hand have”

... Warp X, where X is ??? I'm guessing.

“X is the number of differently named lands you control.”

Llurgoyf card probably, especially since it's an elemental. Probably 2-3 mana?
