several people are missing this but the teaser of the character name on a banned card is specific on the character being a male.
Why can't Marit Lage be a male and a female? Eldritch Horror.
Other than that we can probably make a educated guess that Vy Covalt, Sarnvax, Javad Nasrin, and Quoz are probably male chacacters

It would be referred to as a "They."
In lore, Marit Lage is referred to as a "She." So that leaves Marit Lage out

• A card with the number words “four” and “fourteen”.
Fourteen seems like such an oddly specific number. Maybe it's a 2/2 that grows to a 6/6 using four +1/+1s due to some specific condition, then can trigger in even more specific conditions to become a 20/20. Another possibility could be a reference to a sonnet.
• a fan favorite animal character finally becomes a legendary creature
I can't recall, is Squee's Toy sentient? For me it sounds like the most likely candidate, unless we go in "well technically" territory - like Ajani and Voja - or "just plain memes" territory - like Kenrith-as-Elk or The Bear Punched by Surrak.
• Legendary Creature – Squirrel Warrior
Assuming this one is another teaser for the Unnamed Aesop/Anthro plane, home of Archelos and Kwain. If so, it's interesting just how many teasers for this we're getting. Maybe this means we'll be going there soon?
ok i understand the first one better now the characters name is on a card that's banned in (a) format(s)
I'm gonna do a really gonna push it a little and potential loop hole
Could phyrexian form yawgmoth be eligible for the teaser? i'm asking because Yawgmoth's Will and Yawgmoth's Bargain are banned cards and both those cards are while hes phyrexian and not Pre-phyrexian.
Another Tricky loophole could be Dark Depths With "Marit Lage" on the cards ability text and a token potentially not a official card.
second does banned cards with that characters name in the ability/flavor text on banned cards count (thus Marit lage)?
Looking at Wizards's Banned and Restricted lists, the most likely candidate for "a legendary character best known for having his name on a powerful card (that’s been banned) finally gets a legendary creature" is, perhaps sadly, Tourach of Hymn to Tourach fame. Hymn to Tourach is banned from Pauper and is powerful enough to still see play in Legacy.
Alternately, Oko technically fits the above statement and has had a card of his banned in multiple formats...but Oko has no nostalgia trip value, so I'm cheering for Tourach.
Yeah, I would think this instead of Quoz, from Amulet of Quoz, seeing as how that wasn't a powerful card.
10. *facepalm* Mark! I told you before don't do ones we already know about that's automaticly confirms Dakkon Blackblade is the walker he became a planeswalker in the story and he's the box art character
Shrug, maybe he didn't know it would be public information by the time he posted his teasers? It's not like he has complete knowledge of everything that goes on behind the scenes when it comes to the release of sets.
And besides, a lot of people who read his blog aren't invested enough that they would know that Dakkon was announced as a planeswalker card, or even know who Dakkon is at all.
A cycle of Shriekmaw style Evoke Elementals where you exile a card from your hand to Evoke them.
it's not exiling but maybe switched to sacrificing a basic land could be a evoke cost?
Even if that was the case, it wouldn't be formatted as "You may sacrifice a Mountain rather than pay this spell's mana cost." It would say "Evoke — Sacrifice a Mountain."
If you ask me, it might just be a new-to-Modern reprint of Thunderclap, Downhill Charge, or Crash.
The problem with defining this format by what is "fun" is that everyone seems to define fun as what they don't lose to. If you keep losing to easily answered cards, that means you should improve your deck. If you don't want to improve your deck, then you should come to peace with the idea that you are going to lose because you chose to not interact with better strategies.
I hope we finally see some interesting lands in this set. The Enchantment Land is an indication we might. I'd love more Legendary Lands like the Kamgigawa mono-color cycle. Old MTG had some amazing lands. Feels like a lot of innovation with lands has fallen by the wayside "because draft"
I really hope Tribal makes another appearance beyond MH2. Can’t wait to see how Prowess and Ward is used for this set. And Sliver(s). MH2 is just a cool concept for the Modern format.
Oooooooh I didn't think this through for the novel character
I did more digging and I made a whoops
the answer was right there in front of us for the novel character card
theres A particular character who’s in the big rumor and we go to a novels there’s one called “Distant Planes”
guess who’s in it....
there’s a story in “Distant planes” called.............
Chef's surprise
Lore on Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar and the leakers say she’s in the set.
This makes the most sense, though I'm always hoping for a Greensleeves card from the OG novels. And technically speaking, Distant Planes is an anthology of short stories, not quite a novel. But I'm sure Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar is the character Maro's referencing, since she came up in the unofficial leak that also said we'd get Counterspell and Prelate as a BaB promo.

now with some very big hope I did some research but I think I got the answer
I believe gix is the answer the phyrexian Praetor Demon
Here’s the explanation
first introduced in the brothers war novel
https://mtg.fandom.com/wiki/The_Brothers'_War
Please correct me I believe this story is on “Urza's saga” block but here’s the key
“The brothers war” release in May 1998....5 months....Before “urza's saga” block
all Cards involving Gix were printing in urza's saga block or later.
https://mtg.fandom.com/wiki/Gix
This shows all cards
If not this guy then my other guess is pre-spark Garth one-eye
I'd dig it, but the clues definitely suggest otherwise (which I'm sure is, for most people, a blessing.)
The character originaly introduced in novel... well, Gix has his card long, LONG overdue. The word "finally" would hint this way.
The novel Planeswalker was released a month before the set Urza's Saga.
The animal character... Voja on a separate card?
Regarding Quoz, I always thought it a place, not a character.
Let this great clan rest in peace (2001-2011)
1. Yes
2. i do one better gix was mentioned in "the Brothers war" Novel that was 5 months before Urza's Saga (may 1998)
3. it might be Ajani No pre-spark creature card and he's a lion very popular character
Silly me, totally forgot his involvement in Brothers's War... as stupid as it sounds.
Let this great clan rest in peace (2001-2011)
Sick of her being ignored. It's time for her to be the #1 Multiverse villain.
Yikes, nothing on this list interests me. Merfolk god. Not sure how I feel about that one. What plane even has this? Can't be Ula.
Hope this set isn't another bust. This year really hasn't been too great for sets IMO.

Cards I still want to see created:

Svyelunite Priest mentions a "Goddess of the Pearl Moon" in its flavor text. Not sure if this would be a "Merfolk God" though.

I think I found the Merfolk god
https://mtg.fandom.com/wiki/Svyelun
Svyelun is a Merfolk God in Dominaria
IDK, MH2 had Serra, Snow, a Marit Lage card and more. I hope this set is at least as impressive.

ooooooh 2 things popped into my head
“Saga or another Enchantment”
And B
There was Rumor about a Azorius sliver that functions without its tribe so it could fit for this.
I think it would just say "another enchantment" in that case, unless they've changed their minds about the "cycle or discard" thing again.
MaRo used the word finally, so I wouldn't count someone who just got a legendary card in the last MH2 set. I think Tourach is a good guess for this.
And is Ugin really *BEST* known for having his name on a powerful card (that's been banned)? I would say no, absolutely not.
Yeah, I would think this instead of Quoz, from Amulet of Quoz, seeing as how that wasn't a powerful card.
You mean Sensei Golden-Tail?

The number isn't part of the mechanic, it's just there to signify how many letters are in the word.
On that note, though, it looks like jump-start might be returning?
