What this means is that we consciously put in cards that took on an extra meaning when you started mixing and matching the various guilds. Stolen Identity works very well as a Dimir card but it has a secret second use. It's also good when splashed in a Selesnyan deck. Huh? Just a little taste of things to come.
Okay, what? How would Stolen Identity be good in a Selesnya deck? Something in Dragon's Maze is apparently going to make Selesnya and and Stolen Identity best buddies, but what? How? Speculate away.

I just think MaRo is referring to the DGM-GTC-RTR drafting format, where you can (barely) splash Stolen Identity in a Selesnya deck.
You're right, I'm an idiot.

Specifically, he's referring to the whole "copy artifact" portion of it.
