[UNF] MaRo's Mega-Teaser

[void_nothing]

All-new, all-different.

Before previews for Unfinity 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. Because Unfinity is filled with more strangeness than the average set, I'm doing a mega-teaser where I tease even more than normal.

First up, here are some things you can expect:

• a card that can become over five hundred different cards for the turn

• a card that enchants your graveyard

• a card which requires you to use pantomime

• an enchantment subtype appears on an artifact for the first time

• a new subgame card in a color that's never had one

• a card that can make one of five different artifact tokens that each don't do anything

• an outside assistance card where the person assisting doesn't even know

• a common command

• over ten new named abilities including best in show, gear up, and parade!

• a card that can make multiple Storm Crow tokens

• a cycle of "fill in the blank" cards

• multiple cards that let you win a prize

• a creature ability gets converted to a land ability

• a planeswalker that doesn't do what you say

• a card that makes flying Cat tokens

• a cycle of cards that care about certain objects you can see from your seat

• another spell that lets you open a booster pack

• a card that gives you a resource to pay costs that no card has ever granted before

• a card that asks an outside person to rate something on a scale from 1 to 5

• between cards and stickers, over twenty-five nonevergreen/nondeciduous mechanics are returning

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

• "An opponent tells you a statement about themselves and secretly notes whether it's true or false."

• "Each player in an Un-game who can hear you may bid life."

• "where X is the greatest number of stored results on it of the same value."

• "except by creatures with flavor text"

• "for each item in its art that's not touching CARDNAME, another item, or the card frame."

• "As long as CARDNAME remains tapped, that effect doesn't end."

• "As CARDNAME enters the battlefield, choose a word with five or more letters."

• "target non-Brushwagg creature"

• "Ask a person outside the game to choose which of them is most like a rock band."

• "using the first letters of the names of permanents you control,"

• "As long as three or more hands are touching CARDNAME,"

• "first strike and a sword, vigilance and a shield, menace and mean eyes"

• "with the same artist and different names"

• "with #GuessThatMagicCard and no other text."

• "any number of printed Clown Robot tokens that aren't touching each other, that you hid on the battlefield"

• "choose A through M or N through Z."

• "If the cracks in CARDNAME's art are completely covered,"

• "An opponent chooses 'the fastest', 'the scariest' or 'the weakest.'"

• "As CARDNAME enters the battlefield, choose a named Magic character."

• "When you draw yourself, you win the game."

Here is some reminder text that appears in the set:

• "Anything with two or more capitalized words in its name that begin with the same letter is alliterative."

• "A top is an outerwear garment worn on the upper body."

• "the card, not your head"

• "They can't be blocked except by creatures with horsemanship."

• "Align the tops of both cards to check."

• "Don't explain anything else. You choose targets."

• "This creature has first strike as long as it's blocking or being blocked by a creature that comes after it alphabetically."

• "The vowels are A, E, I, O, U, and Y."

• "This spell costs 1 less to cast for each Clown you control."

• "It has their total power, total toughness, combined mana costs, all text boxes, names, art, and so on."

• "Something is hot if it has hot things in its art, like fire or explosions."

• "CARDNAME divides the battlefield into alpha, beta, and gamma sectors."

• "Each time you gobble, take a bit of food or sacrifice a Food token."

• "You can have two commanders if both have partner."

• "It becomes 2/2, then 1/1, ½ / ½ , and so on."

• "about 0.3 meters"

• "Creatures in a log together can't be blocked unless they're all blocked."

• "Don't touch other people's phones without permission and be careful if you do."

• "Places everyone! The first creature in line gets +0/+0."

• "They continue to exist after they leave the battlefield."

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

• Creature - Rat Rogue

• Creature - Alien Insect

• Artifact Creature - Clown Robot Mime

This is a LOT to take in - a lot of teasers - of course, but I will note that I'm sure that the sentence containing "first strike and a sword, vigilance and a shield, menace and mean eyes" begins with "The same is true for" and follows a sentence with "Creatures you control with wings in their art have flying" or similar.

a planeswalker that doesn't do what you say

This must be like the prototype planeswalkers when they cycled through their abilities like a Saga. Otherwise they might just activate abilities at random.

"If the cracks in CARDNAME's art are completely covered,"

Stickers matter!

"Each time you gobble, take a bit of food or sacrifice a Food token."

Someone page @Pygyzy, this is what they've been looking for.

Artifact Creature - Plant Mutant Food

If you know anything about Rosewater, then you know that this is absolutely a monstrous BANANA!

Artifact Creature - Plant Mutant Food

Some kind of blasphemous banana, one that defiles something Mark does like - so it's an animated chocolate-covered frozen banana?

[Sporegorger_Dragon]

Legendary Creature - Human Gamer

Whoa WHOA this here is the major thing! Either Mel or Vorthos incoming!

Edit: Based on seniority, I guess Vorthos takes (receives?) priority.

[Krishnath]

• "Places everyone! The first creature in line gets +0/+0."

Obviously you're making a conga line. Everybody Conga!

If you know anything about Rosewater, then you know that this is absolutely a monstrous BANANA!

Nah, it's Broccoli. It's an Sci-Fi themed set, and evil space broccoli has a long history in comedic Sci-Fi stories, and MaRo loves his tropes.

My god. What a list! If we got teasers like this for every set, there'd be no need for spoilers.
