Question: Maybe instead of a preview card you could preview snippets of new CR entries .....or even just a spoiled new subnumber. Imagine the wild and amusing speculation that would create. Throw the masses a bone ;-) - tijmenndg
Answer: 702.103. Go. (That’s not the keyword. That’s me telling you to go ahead and start imagining.)
The 702.x series of the Comprehensive Rules is the list of Keyword Abilities, from 702.1 (Haste), to 702.101 (Fuse). Assuming Matt Tabak isn't being untruthful, that means there's at least two upcoming keyword abilities in Theros, since he's referring to 702.103.
Not that this is a huge revelation, but I don't think we had confirmation that the Theros mechanics weren't ability words.
Bushido isn't even remotely close to Greek mythology.
When they talk about retweaking that also comes with a name change. Bushido is very likely because they stated how the mechanic was good but they hated how the flavor limited its application.

Sometimes I feel like the word "interactivity" around here is akin to the word "electrolytes" in sports drinks. The public doesn't really know what it means, but they figure it's a good thing to have.

Bushido was already a re-tweaking of Flanking. I seriously doubt Bushido would come back.
I was going to list why they were different, but making a list was as stupid as thinking they are the same.
It's like saying -1/-1 counters and Untamed Might are the same.
I'm curious, please enlighten me.
Flanking, blocking creature get's -1/-1 until EoT (unless it also has flanking) vs
Bushido, blocking or blocked creature get's +1/+1 until EoT (Cancels out just like flanking, but in a cleaner way)..
I know my sight isn't what it used to be, but these appear to be pretty similar on paper, much the same way that Flying and Horsemanship are similar.
Edited descriptions of Flanking and Bushido to be more accurate.
Flanking and Bushido work pretty differently against creatures with one toughness. Bushido also works on defense. Those two things make the effects at least somewhat different in play. I wouldn't put them in the same block or anything, but they're much less similar than they appear to be superficially if you've never played with them.

Which is why I said that Bushido was a re-tweaking of Flanking...
The re-tweaking of a mechanic was what brought this whole thing up to begin with. I've been playing on and off since The Dark, so I understand that they are different. But, you can't honestly tell me that Bushido doesn't feel like a fixed or re-tweaked version of Flanking.

sorry mate but these are completely different and play out in a completely different way. their only similarity is that they revolve around blocking and stats

5 Mechanics 3 new 2 old
and now we know that 2 of them are new Keywords...
Choose one of these judge of creation:
Make Strionic Resonator shine!
You can not grasp the true form of Ashiok's attack!
This means, of the returning mechanics, none of them are keywords.
This is a good spoiler

/\
Rules section ( Keywords abilities)
No, this means that there is 2 new keywords
Art is life itself.

Banner ala Lymons
There Fuse as the last Keyword ability is 702.100, so do we get not 2 but 3 keyword abilities?
Bushido was already a re-tweaking of Flanking. I seriously doubt Bushido would come back.
Right.....2 new keywords means that since they are new they wouldn't be a returning mechanic.
What I mean is that we can have just an old ability turned into keyword like happened in Time Spiral
lol how dumb i m
yeah 3 new keywords ( maybe Hero , monster and god)
what you said:
having 3 new keywords don't mean that the returning mechanics aren't keywords.
Yup...
Three new keywords, that's more than what I was expecting. No complaining, though.
Except no?
I was going to list why they were different, but making a list was as stupid as thinking they are the same.

You understand that a new keyword means it isnt a returning mechanic, right?

Oh, here we go again. Might as well call Elvish Mystic a Llanowar Elf!
N/A
Modern:
Grishoalbrand / Grixis Death's Shadow / Jeskai Control / UW Control
right, and you understand that having 3 new keywords don't rules out returning mechanics to be old keywords...
indestructible ...
Those two are completely different. Jeez, whats the world coming to.
