MaRo has posted his teasers for Adventures in the Forgotten Realm.
MaRo wrote: Before previews for Dungeons & Dragons: Adventures in the Forgotten Realms 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:

• a new enchantment subtype

• a card granting -11/-11

• a creature with a death trigger that make an equipment token

• a legendary creature that makes a legendary Hamster creature token

• something only seen previously in Un-sets comes to black border

• an artifact that's a musical instrument that creates harmony counters

• a card that can keep your opponent from winning the game

• an ability that cares about attacking with a certain amount of power of creatures

• cards that let you decide where the story goes

• a card that creates a legendary creature token named Vecna

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

• "Enchanted permanent is a Treasure artifact"

• "Ward – discard a card."

• "Exchange your hand and library"

• "Skeletons, Vampires and Zombies"

• "Spend this mana only to cast Dragon spells or activate abilities of Dragons."

• "for each different mana value among nonland cards in your graveyard."

• "Then if you have fewer than three cards in hand, draw cards equal to the difference."

• "Whenever you cast a creature spell that doesn't share a creature type with a creature you control or a creature card in your graveyard,"

• "You may cast [THIS CREATURE'S NAME] from your graveyard if a creature not named [THIS CREATURE'S NAME] died this turn."

• "When its power become 20 this way,"

Finally, here are some card type lines in the set:

• Creature – Dwarf Citizen

• Creature – Tiefling Wizard

• Creature – Human Elf Monk

• Creature – Elf Spider

• Creature – Gnome Warlock

• Creature – Halfling Rogue

• Creature – Bird Bear

• Legendary Creature – Dragon Knight

• Legendary Creature – Devil God

• Legendary Creature – Beholder

been listening into some D&D stuff just recently to get in the mood for this. I'm way more into science fiction roleplaying scenarios but I still got the Minsc reference giggle. finding it interesting that Tiefling's a new type when I thought it mainly meant Half Demon but it might be gnice.

Liking the "doesn't share" card, sounds like it could be a reason to avoid designing down tribal lines for casual

Tieflings are *not* halfdemons, that is vile propaganda. Cambions are halfdemons, tieflings are just descendant from half-fiends several generations back. They are no more prone to good or evil than the average human.

Edit: Btw, if it wasn't obvious because tone is hard to convey in text form, that was mock outrage. But seriously though, Tieflings aren't halfdemons.

This has gotta be D20s, right?

D6's is more likely, but dice seems like the answer to that one, yes.

d12s? Like a barbarian? Bah!

Anyway, I'm hype for Vecna stuff. Maybe <X> of Vecna as an equipment? Hmmm...

Turning a permanent into a Treasure is also pretty interesting.

So, what are the odds on a Polymorph reprint? It's a pretty important spell in D&D, indeed it is so crucial that any Wizard that isn't barred from the transmutation school learns it ASAP.
