It's that time again.
Before previews for Dominaria United 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 evergreen counter

• a popular planeswalker card gets a reprint

• a blue card with "destroy all creatures"

• a five mana value creature that can be a 10/10

• three original Weatherlight crew members are in the set

• an ability word that didn't start as an ability word returns

• rare cycle of +1/+1 granting lords

• a card that grants poison

• a new artifact with Lotus in the name

• a character players have been requesting get a card for years finally gets one

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

• "As long as enchanted creature is legendary"

• "You may exile an instant or sorcery with mana value X or less from among them."

• "exile each nonland permanent with mana value 2 or less"

• "Enchantment creatures you control have"

• "if X is 3 or less"

• "For each opponent who doesn't, that player loses 2 life and you draw a card."

• "instant or sorcery card with mana value 1 or 2"

• "Pay any amount of mana."

• "Vehicles you control have crew 1."

• "where X is the number of legendary creatures you control."

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

• Creature – Dryad Warrior

• Creature – Phyrexian Horse

• Creature – Elf Archer (in red)

• Creature – Lhurgoyf

• Creature – Human Kor Soldier

• Legendary Creature – Elemental Demon

• Legendary Creature – Frog Beast

• Legendary Creature – Elf Artificer

• Legendary Creature – Viashino Warlock

• Legendary Creature – Phyrexian Merfolk Wizard

August 18th will be an exciting day for Magic fans. Tune in on the official Magic YouTube channel or twitch.tv/Magic at 9AM to watch Wizards Presents where you'll learn about the exciting releases and announcements both Magic and D&D have in store for fans in 2023, followed by Dominaria's debut day and preview stream!

Original Weatherlight crew members are straightforward based on web fiction: Karn, Ertai, Squee.

Popular planeswalker is interesting: Teferi, Hero of Dominaria, maybe? But it led to some unfun play patterns in its standard format so I don't know if they'd want to put it back into the format.

The "ability word" has got to be threshold.

The character players have been requesting for years might be the Raven Man, although now we know that he's actually Lim-Dûl the Necromancer does that not count?

The blue card with "destroy all creatures" is an odd one -- the first thing that comes to mind is a mass-transformation card, but recently they've been moving towards Witness Protection-type effects in blue and away from Pongify.

Maybe its a blue card with a black kicker like Temporal Firestorm

im interested anytime the word lotus comes up. I was wondering if they were going to have this or mox.

my vote is Karn, he can be the answer for two things. and hopefully its the good karn. Karn Liberated haha lol

im hoping the phyrexian nightmare is actually a compleated Nightmare of some nature.

Liliana of the Veil -- a bit of an odd choice flavorwise since she no longer has The Chain Veil, but definitely a spicy one.
Plus the ability word is Domain, not Threshold.

My call for the legendary Phyrexian Merfolk Wizard is a new card for Ambassador Laquatus.

I just hope Ertai is the same arrogant prick he was during the Tempest era, and him getting phyrexianized, killed, and then revived (I assume by Sheoldred), hasn't mellowed him out.
