Could also be mirage enemy fetches, thatd be a cute throwback given brushwagg
Gavin did ask about the Mirage Fetches on Twitter recently but it would have been too late for inclusion in Ikoria. I do expect them to pop up in a set this year or next.
People complained bitterly about them being too slow for Commander and I was like, outside of cEDH, I know loads of people who use Terramorphic Expanse and Evolving Wilds and they are just as "slow" as Mirage Fetches (i.e. Flood Plain). The only real problem with them is that they cannot be cracked before your next turn (i.e. you need to crack it on your turn, which does take a second to find the land and shuffle your deck). Which is why if we are not going to get direct enemy fetch versions, I would prefer if they reworked them so they work like Evolving Wilds (that way you can crack them on your opponents' turn to save time).
A few more enemy colored lands with basic land types like the BFZ and Amonkhet duels and enemy slow fetches would do a lot to improve budget mana bases for enemy colors imo. They're something I think should have been printed long ago.
I wish that they'd introduce them in commander decks as "new" cards but not actually have them take up "new card" slots, to be totally honest. Then maybe reprint them for other sets down the line. Maybe that's not a great suggestion though, but at least the problem would be somewhat solved. Maybe for the draftable commander set?
MaRo should do this more often, just like he used to do way back when. I think it's a good way to get the fans excited without really spoiling anything important. Thanks MaRo!
Also, some very interesting stuff going on here. Demon Kraken? Nightmare Squirrel? Lol what
I also miss the times when we would get a handful of art from the set, on which we could speculate, without spoiling much. I loved it, when they done that for Eldraine, it gave as a first taste of the world.
Part of that has to do with how many products WotC makes now.
You mean how many Secret Lairs they make Bur joke aside, I would be happy if we only got that for sets with new worlds. Last year they did it for Eldraine, this year they would only have to do it for Ikoria, because we know the two other worlds. Still happy that we got that teaser, never understood why they stopped having those sites, where you could put in a word and it would show you, how often that word appeared in the set, does anyone know what I mean?
And I hope maro will preview the squirrel in his first article

What could be interesting is that Marit Lage isn't the only of her kind and there is another on Ikoria. Maybe the male looking for the female Marit Lage.

If you claiming marit lage because of “demon kraken” your all incorrect
Her typing is only avatar and modern horizons did the token again
Marit lage it's not a kraken. it's an ancient god.

How i feel about competitive players and casual players in EDH: The competitive are german tourists, the casual are italian tourists, both in a italian beach. The italians asking themselves "why are the germans here?" make a legitimate question, the answer is because the beach is beautiful, no matter the country you came from. The italians wanting to ban the germans are dumb, because if the germans pay for their stay and follow the rules like everyone else, they have the right to be in the beach. Hovewer, if the germans started to ask themselves "why are the italians here?"... they would be dumb as hell.
Creature types change. Magnificent creatures have always been thought as gods or avatars of gods throughout history. Do I think we will see another Marit Lage species creature, no. But it isn't out of the realm of possibility, especially in FANTASY.

If you guys are into custom card creation at all, I made a thread here at the CCC forum to brew some ideas for MaRo's hints here. I posted my idea of a potential demon kraken! Go check it out if you have a good idea or want to see some.
I imagine the avatar figure we see for Marit Lage May not even be her true appearance or final form
I feel that getting from avatar to demon kraken is a downgrade. also if that's really her, she'll be smaller than a 20/20 indestructible. So she will be smaller than her avatar and just kaiju #X in a world of kaijus.... disappointing
We have more chance of seeing Marit Lage in Commander Legends

IIRC on the Dominaria story podcast Ethan and Kelly said the current idea (and note this isn't hard canon so can be changed) creative has is Marit Lage is still currently frozen. Dark Depths still has ice counters, and it and Marit Lage's Slumber are a possible/sneak peak of the future.

Their courtship ruined worlds, their first touch extinguished suns, their coupling snuffed galaxies...
Anyway, Marit Lage can planeswalk, right?
Also, if you look at both Dark Depths arts, she does look very Kraken-like, and quite demonic too.
One more week till we learn the bigger picture of maro and Gavin’s teasers
But chances are we see the mechanics and trailer this week though
Usually the trailer drops exactly 1 month before the set is released
Then that means there’s either no trailer or there’s a mega/big reveal in the trailer
Because the Eldritch Moon trailer wasn’t shown till the exact day of preview season because it unmasked emrakul as the culprit of causing the madness in innistrad
War of the spark is the same case near preview season day trailer big reveal is Lilliana turns on bolas and was probably gonna die (but they hid the part who really died from that)
Now not related to my trailer theory but going back to the Marit Lage = “demon kraken”
Their courtship ruined worlds, their first touch extinguished suns, their coupling snuffed galaxies... Mad
Your description conjured images of Roseanne Barr and Tom Arnold in my brainbox. Why, I say why?

Hound that generates fetch counters
"Whenever you cast a spell with X in it's mana cost" do something
Cycle of cards that is a reimagining of an old,popular multplayer cycle
There's a creature that generates mana you can ONLY use to activate abilities
8 non-evergreen returning mechanics
Whale Wolf,Cat-Dinossaur Tokens
Single legendary card that brings back and uses experience counters
A whale wolf? Oh my gosh these creature types are getting more insane by the minute
I’m offical gonna hope for a “Cat turtle” as a type in this that would reference “avatar the last airbender”

Ah yes. "Make Reel Beeg", the spell we've been waiting for since Become Immense.

(It’s not a “can I get maybe response”
There’s a chance there’s a creature with 3 or 4 types in it
Ludevic's Test Subject got the Egg subtype after it was reintroduced. So we only get one additional Egg.
Hands to the sky
Give a round of applause
For the great Miss Y!
The program I use didn't have the newest errata for Test Subject so my list didn't include it.

Can go between planes
Is based on the Cthulhu just like the eldrazi’s
Dominaria not home plane
Kraken figure
But I think it’s all a coincidence and she’s not there
