It’s that time again for maro giving us stuff to look forward to in the upcoming set
next Is dragon storm so Here we go
Before previews for Tarkir: Dragonstorm 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:
• A cycle of Dragonstorm enchantments
• Two planeswalkers
• Some counters in the set: decayed, lifelink, and time
• A card that can tutor for one of two other cards
• A legendary enchantment
• A Hydra that uses a clan keyword
• A common archetype theme gets an ability word
• An instant the generates five effects
• Dragons get a new typal enchantment based on a popular Zombie one
• A new instant and sorcery subtype
Next, here are some rules text that will be showing up on cards:
• “Whenever you cast a Turtle spell, untap this creature.”
• “As long as there are three or more different kinds of counters among creatures you control,”
• “You may cast it without paying its mana cost if that spell’s mana value is 8 or less.”
• “If you put +1/+1 counters on five Dragons this way, you win the game.”
• “Whenever a creature you control enters, if you cast it, destroy that creature”
• “At the beginning of combat on your turn, if you’ve case both a creature spell and a noncreature spell this turn,”
• “Then if creatures you control have total toughness 20 or greater,”
• “During your end step, Warrior tokens you control have ‘This token can’t be sacrificed.’”
• “Whenever this creature deals combat damage to a player, you may search your library for a card named <CARDNAME>, reveal it, put it into your hand, then shuffle.”
• “Spells you cast have delve.”
Here are some creature type lines from the set:
• Creature – Dog Monk
• Creature – Elephant Druid
• Creature – Yeti
• Creature – Djinn Cleric
• Creature – Zombie Advisor
• Creature – Kirin
• Creature – Snake Shapeshifter
• Artifact Creature – Chimera
• Artifact Creature – Ape Snake
• Legendary Creature – Zombie Snake Warlock
Finally, here are some names in the set:
• All-Out Assault
• Cruel Truths
• Desperate Measures
• Dragonologist
• Hundred-Battle Veteran
• Lightfoot Technique
• Rescue Leopard
• Seize Opportunity
• Stillness in Motion
• War Effort
Tune into the Tarkir: Dragonstorm Debut stream on March 18th! Watch it on twitch.tv/magic at 10am PDT (Don’t forget, this weekend is Daylight saving time! So the US will shift their clocks forward 1 hour and the start time may be different than you expect as a result.)
"A card that can tutor for one of two other cards" - a callback to Renowned Weaponsmith
"Dragons get a new typal enchantment based on a popular Zombie one" -Call to the Grave or Endless Ranks of the Dead seem to fit best. maybe add counters similar to devour

Some counters in the set: decayed, lifelink, and time
ooooh I know what this is, I’m willing to bet this will be deciduous or evergreen counter, this is that Decayed zombie token ability from Midnight hunt, they doing this to make it Offical for non token creatures so it can be used so that can make more attackers with beyond obnoxious abilities of either attacking or damaging a player on damage step. (Just like with “only once each turn”)
The second walker is three culprits (we know the first is Ugin from first look)
Ajani
Elspeth
And Jace
it’s one of the three
Well, with the preview of Stormplain Detainment we already know that Elspeth is present on Tarkir, so I'd say it's all but guaranteed that she's the second walker.

The story clearly has both Ajani and Elspeth there.

and for Jace he could be doing the same trick as on Thunder junction where he was disguised as ashiok this time it could be taigam
I know there’s way more options but the quickest guess could be “when you draw your second card each turn.”
As the temur ability? I'd expect that more in Jeskai, but it seems like their archetype is storm. Maybe "wherever you attach with 3 or more creatures" as a slightly more open battalion for mardu?
“During your end step, Warrior tokens you control have ‘This token can’t be sacrificed.’”
you see this goes back to my decayed theory I think there’s gonna be warrior tokens with decay (zombie warriors)
Decayed sacrifices at end of combat so these have to be unrelated unless they're changing how decayed works. Could relate to some kind of dash variant.
"Dragons get a new typal enchantment based on a popular Zombie one" - I wonder if its something like Dawn of the Dead which i forgot about. Its technically a zombie enchantment from its flavor.

I'm personally wondering if Zombie Infestation is it. (People do try going back to it in Loam and occasionally Necro in my Modern-leaning experience...)
“If you put +1/+1 counters on five Dragons this way, you win the game.”
“LIGHTBULB!” OOOOOOH!!! OOOOOOOOH!!!
This is probably the art for this teaser and what is it art of I think it’s “The Stormnexus Ritual.” Which is the birth of FIVE spirit dragons that got the clans back and caused the dragonlords to go into hiding (story indicates a “they are no bodies” type of thing.)
So the teaser card is based on the birth of the five new spirit dragons
"An Omenpath. But not like one I've ever seen before," said Elspeth. It had the same coruscating light she recognized, as well as a vaguely triangular shape, but this one was ragged at the edges. The Omenpath resembled a wound gouged into reality, like something had bitten down and torn a hole through Tarkir itself. "It seems—"
"The Meditation Realm. I've been here before. I just did not expect to ever return. I think the voice called us here. But—"
"Believe me, I'd have kept him home if I could. But without Loot, I'd have never found my way here. His mind …" His voice gentled. "His mind is like nothing I've seen before. It contains all of the Multiverse, every Omenpath that exists, each plane as it exists and as it is born and as it dies. He is a map of everything. Loot is remarkable. I could spend centuries in his mind, putting his knowledge to paper, and, still, it wouldn't be enough."
Narset realized then that Loot was cocooned in the faintest patina of blueish light.
"Did he agree to be kept in this state?" asked Narset.
"He consented the very first time when we released him from the vault. That was how I learned of the knowledge he held inside himself."
"But did he agree to this?" Narset persisted.
She heard the clink of Elspeth resting the weight of her hand on the pommel of her sword, felt the archangel tense beside her. "You didn't answer me, Jace. What are you doing here?"
The other Planeswalker said nothing, only smiled a thin, strange smile, his eyes clouding with a bright blue light.
"What have you done, Jace?" Narset whispered.
"What I needed to."
o…m…g it’s happening
can any teaser I mean any teaser connect to Nicol bolas
"A card that can tutor for one of two other cards" - a callback to Renowned Weaponsmith
"Dragons get a new typal enchantment based on a popular Zombie one" -Call to the Grave or Endless Ranks of the Dead seem to fit best. maybe add counters similar to devour
After going through the list, Rooftop Storm caught my eye the most, simply due to A) how well it works with expensive dragons and B) how well it works flavourwise to represent a dragonstorm.
Thou shalt not have others of the same Legendary before me Thou shalt not frame images with the modern card face Thou shalt not change rules in vain Remember the Reserved List to keep it holy Honor thy Slivers and the symmetry of their abilities Thou shalt not kill mana burn Thou shalt not sacrifice depth for accessibility Thou shalt not steal combat damage from the stack Thou shalt tell a story through thy cards All must be one

My first thought was Necroduality.
Wonder how they're using decayed counters. Could be interesting as a persist variant or as a sort of pseudo-removal.
Ajani
Elspeth
And Jace
it’s one of the three
just simply look at the post above this one

culprits are these easily
one can hope its legendary to once and for all end the wait for a turtle typal/kindred legend could be a dragon turtle
Kathril, Aspect Warper is listening
oh boy
and ofcoarse do I even need to mention………… Ulalek, Fused Atrocity
this is either a “curse” aura or it after it’s destroyed it turns into two token versions of it.
Arcades, the Strategist is listening.
you see this goes back to my decayed theory I think there’s gonna be warrior tokens with decay (zombie warriors)
Second time they are doing this, the first time was titan's nest we will see if you can do colorless and x spells this time
will see if this is theft matters or not because this is the second time ever with a ape snake first was Thieving Amalgam which was theft matters
sidisi end of story we saw her in the first look
The story clearly has both Ajani and Elspeth there.
and for Jace he could be doing the same trick as on Thunder junction where he was disguised as ashiok this time it could be taigam

9:02 of this video
the Second walker is Elsepth
The “zombie typal enchantment” rehash is going to be Necroduality, I think.
[EDIT 18-3] Two of the teasers revealed here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9mXEA3Wkmg (Zurgo and Eshki)
Thou shalt not frame images with the modern card face

Remember the Reserved List to keep it holy
Honor thy Slivers and the symmetry of their abilities
Thou shalt not kill mana burn
Thou shalt not sacrifice depth for accessibility
Thou shalt not steal combat damage from the stack
Thou shalt tell a story through thy cards
All must be one
