he actually got these a day earlier so here we go!
Before previews for March of the Machine 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:
• Numerous cards that mechanically care about Phyrexians
• A double-faced token (one that transforms)
• A card that costs XUUUU
• A variant of a mechanic returns to a premier set for the second time since it originally appeared
• A legendary creature returns not seen since Homelands
• A creature capable of dealing eleven poison counters
• Some planes show up in card names that have never done so before
• Wrenn returns with a new partner
• Two draft archetypes that have a creature type matters component (one of which is Phyrexians - see above)
• The tenth _____ & _____ sword
Next, here are some rules text that will be showing up on cards:
• “You may cast spells with flash or flying from the top of your library.”
• “an Aura, God or Demigod card”
• “where X is the excess damage dealt this way.”
• “This spell can’t be copied.”
• “Activate only if you’ve cast two or more spells this turn.”
• “Each player can’t cast more than one non-Phyrexian spell each turn.”
• “X twice, where X is the number of lands you control.”
• “Whenever a permanent you control transforms or a permanent enters the battlefield under your control transformed,”
• “If the opponent protects it, remove a defense counter from it.”
• “At the beginning of your upkeep, if you haven’t been dealt combat damage since your last turn, you draw a card and you lose 1 life.”
Finally, here are some Phyrexians in the set:
• Creature – Phyrexian Bear Rhino
• Creature – Phyrexian Devil
• Creature – Phyrexian Dog Warrior
• Creature – Phyrexian Jackal
• Creature – Phyrexian Samurai
• Creature – Phyrexian Shade
• Creature – Phyrexian Shark
• Creature – Phyrexian Treefolk
• Creature – Phyrexian Viashino
• Creature – Phyrexian Weird
And some creature type lines of denizens fighting them:
• Creature – Moonfolk Ninja
• Creature – Aetherborn Vampire
• Creature – Fungus Rabbit
• Creature – Dwarf Pilot
• Creature – Raccoon Warrior
• Creature – Goblin Spellshaper
• Creature – Wolverine Dinosaur
• Legendary Creature – Elder Giant Dog
• Legendary Creature – Ape Dinosaur Turtle
• Legendary Creature – Cyclops Homunculus
For answers to these and more, tune into March of the Machine’s Debut March 29th at 9:00 am on YouTube and Twitch.
Is Baron Singer alive in cannon I could see him being the character returning from homelands. That’s if commander legends isnt counted as a return.

Embrace the dark you call a home,
Gaze upon an empty, white throne
A legacy of lies,
A familiar disguise
Sing with me a song of conquest and fate
The black pillar cracks beneath its weight
Night breaks through the day, hard as a stone
Lost in thoughts all alone
• A creature capable of dealing eleven poison counters
I would ask why, but why bother?

Please, mill me. Mill my important cards. Mill my lands. Mill it all. Because I will still deal 20 damage before you can mill 45 cards most every time.
• Numerous cards that mechanically care about Phyrexians
now we know phyrexian tribal support/legend is gonna be here in mom
first we know phyrexian tribal archetype is WB because of this
however I'm 100% sure we are gonna see phyrexian tribal support in GUR as well (jin-gitaxias is literally proof with his saga side chapter 2 being whelming wave for phyrexians)
the reason red will get support because going back to lore Urabrask has trouble controlling his phyrexians case and point with Slobad, Iron Goblin disobeying his orders
so Despite the orzhov deck I’m pretty sure we are gonna see atleast witch-maw/5-color legend for phyrexian tribal
(Either Atraxa 3.0 or a different legend that got compleated that’s definitely 5-colored so far that’s omnath, locus of all but we could get another 5-color legend compleated for the tribe.)
Would it be Autumn Willow perhaps? I'm guessing people like Chandler, Joven, Reveka, Wizard Savant et al would have died since Homelands took place. Oh, maybe it's Ravi? I mean she did survive in the enclosure for how many years.
The story (chapter 2) seems to suggest Wrenn's new partner is the World Tree.
Or Wrenn and Chandra from the image they posted today on Facebook with the story stuff. I didn't read it, but I just saw the photo of Wrenn and Chandra standing together. Could be a dual planeswalker card??

look at chapter 5
it looks like another big fat failure for strike force but wrenn is practically right there she just needs to use her power to talk to it now (it backfired a hair for her since it was a lot bigger than she thought)

Anyone immortal.
Baron, Autumn Willow (essentially a maro-sorcerer/worldsoul), Ihsan's Shade. Ravi as an once-oldwalker would be nice too.

“If the opponent protects it, remove a defense counter from it.”
So battles probably use defense counters and can be "protected"?
Does seem likely to be battles, yeah. This text kinda seems like a battle hate card also? It's the opponent protecting 'it', not text for your own battle or a battle support card. Unless battles create something for your opponent as like some kind of reward for you to try and take or something?

Ohh, that might make more sense actually, it feels pretty odd flavorwise to protect a battle.
Edit:"Legendary Creature – Ape Dinosaur Turtle" = Kogla and Yidaro
Ooh good one. I was at first thinking "wasn't ape dinosaur turtle already a creature type in Ikoria" but I think you've got it. We already have Yargle and Multani being the largest power creature ever so I doubt they'll make this one bigger, but it could come close.
The story (chapter 2) seems to suggest Wrenn's new partner is the World Tree.
Well, it seems like she was trying to / about to join with the Invasion Tree, which would be scary... would she be able to control it or would she become Phyrexian herself?

Tribal support could occur in bits across all 5 colors, but MaRo's teaser is about draft archetypes, which are 2 colors. I don't think the fact that there is a W/B Phyrexian commander deck confirms that the limited archetype has to be W/B, just like I don't think Jin-Gitaxias (a mythic rare) being part Phyrexian tribal confirms anything in that regard either. I think we just have to wait and see, though the archetype having white in it matches with Elesh Norn and white/black seems like a pretty good choice given old-Phyrexians were historically thought of as mostly black.

Oh shoot, they're probably attacking Kylem!

teaser
that creates the mardu color combo
but At the same time maro said “team-ups” is in the tool box for future sets (deciduous since there’s atleast 11 done before MOM)
and I have a tin foil this is the golden ticket on making 4-color legends more often with that said so it could be
for the “witch-maw” colored team up
I would ask why, but why bother?

Probably as a reference to Blightsteel Colossus.
the Elder Giant Dog is probably Kroxa, Titan of Death's Hunger and Kunoros, Hound of AthreosSuper ninja'd
oh well
HEY A NEW BEAR, that I would want to get.
A demigod?

Wonder what planes we'll see?

What could the second be? Knights? Allies?

Allies is a good idea. I was thinking Rebels, after ONE.

One notably immortal character is Eron the Relentless.
Ohh, that might make more sense actually, it feels pretty odd flavorwise to protect a battle.
Wrenn and Doran. Wrenn and Doran. Wrenn and Doran.
Let's go!
I really think it's gotta be Borborygmos and Fblthp! :):):)

Would also be amazing, but don't see how that fits given the template for team-ups we have seen.
