Mark Rosewater's Tumblr wrote:Commander Legends previews are about to begin which means it's time for another Maro teaser. For those that don't know how this works, I'm going to tell you incomplete information about some cards in Commander Legends. Everything I'm telling you is true, but I'm purposefully not telling you everything.

First up, here are some things you can expect in Commander Legends:

• A card that lists fourteen creature abilities

• A card that returns three different cards types from the graveyard to the battlefield (and not a combination we've ever done before)

• A card that basically turns one evergreen keyword action into another evergreen keyword action

• A card that temporarily steals a creature from a new place

• A card that's stronger the fewer colors in your commander's color identity

• Multiple legendary creatures of siblings of previous legendary creatures

• A card that grants certain kinds of protection based on what permanents you have on the battlefield

• A card that references both beginning phase and postcombat main phase

• A legendary creature that shares four of the five words in its name with three other legendary creatures

• A creature with four words of rules text and fifty-two words of reminder text

Next, here is some rules text can you expect to see on cards in Commander Legends:

• "damage doesn't cause you to lose life"

• "any number of Auras and Equipment you control"

• "except for commanders"

• "where X is the number of attacking creatures with flying"

• "Whenever a token you control leaves the battlefield"

• "Whenever one or more Pirates you control deal damage to your opponents"

• "Commanders you control have"

• "X is the number of artifacts you control plus the number of artifact cards in your graveyard"

• "chosen at random from among your opponents"

• "You and permanents you control have protection from Salamanders"

Finally, here are some creature type lines that will appear for the first time in Commander Legends:

• Legendary Creature - Horse

• Legendary Creature – Elemental Lizard

• Legendary Creature – Spirit Pirate

• Legendary Creature – Elephant Warrior

• Legendary Creature – Chimera

• Legendary Creature – Naga Druid

• Legendary Creature – Turtle Shaman

• Legendary Creature – Imp

• Legendary Creature – Faerie Knight

• Legendary Creature – Rabbit Wizard

I hope you all have a lot of fun guessing what some of these teasers might mean. Previews for Commander Legends will start next Monday (October 26, 2020).
Time to start guessing.

The rabbit matches Gavin's teaser for a creature type that hasn't Been used in 20 years

Exclude ones

The theft might be command zone

The closest reminder text to 52 is bands with 55

• A card that lists fourteen creature abilities
This is a Concerted Effort-style card for sure.

- A card that returns three different cards types from the graveyard to the battlefield (and not a combination we've ever done before)
Could be anything. "Target artifact, target creature, and/or target land"

• A card that basically turns one evergreen keyword action into another evergreen keyword action
"Evergreen"? Mill into scry.

• A card that temporarily steals a creature from a new place
There's a lot of places that could be new for temporary theft specifically. Possibly opponent's hand? They reveal it, you put a creature card onto the battlefield with haste, it bounces at end of turn?

• A card that's stronger the fewer colors in your commander's color identity
"Protection from every color not in your commander's color identity", something like that? It'll make Karn players happy for sure.

• Multiple legendary creatures of siblings of previous legendary creatures
The known new Jeska has to count for this because there are multiple past Kamahls.

• A card that grants certain kinds of protection based on what permanents you have on the battlefield
This is pretty vague, but... domain?

• A card that references both beginning phase and postcombat main phase
Beginning phase, not the draw, untap, or upkeep steps? Bizarre. How does that work?

• A legendary creature that shares four of the five words in its name with three other legendary creatures
All of the obvious phrases aren't enough words or appear on more than three legends. Hm.

• A creature with four words of rules text and fifty-two words of reminder text
Not unprecedented - think Time Stop - but on a creature? This one's a puzzle too.
Psst, check the second page of Custom Card Contests & Games! Because of the daily contests, a lot of games fall down to there.

Incorrect. Vizzerdrix was in 9th. Vizzerdrix is a rabbit beast, and the set was released in 2005. Making it roughly 15 years old.

Edit: Whatever the creature is, it needs to not have gotten a card since prior to Invasion. So unfortunately, that disqualifies the Volver's as well.

There is a difference between "hasn't been used" and "reprint". A reprint means it was used.

Yeah, but Gavin's hint said that they haven't done a NEW ONE in over 20 year, so the '05 reprint of VIzzerdrix doesn't count

That is a good point actually. I guess we'll see. Wouldn't surprise me if it turns out to be a Sponge or something. Lol.

some of these are unhelpful clues but it's easy to see an Act of Treason which targets a creature card in an opposing command zone.
looking forward to the legendary Elephant but paired with Warrior it's gonna be some kind of Loxodon rather than a four-legged beasty.
sorta mad at magic right now

That's alright though, we need us some legendary loxodon.
