There was some side story about how a woman who wore the mask in Hedgewitch's Mask


who was possessed by Saryth and began dumping human bodies into large eggs or something so I'm guessing that's where the Serpent Egg is going to come from? Maybe?

Also since Saryth is dead.. maybe she is the Legendary Spirit Warlock.
Edit: Oh just realized Katilda is also a Warlock. So probably her instead.

Katilda's soul left her body during the big ritual at the end of Midnight Hunt so even though Olivia murked her body there's a chance Katilda shows up as like the new Soul of Innistrad or something so Spirit Warlock/Shaman would make sense.

Odric seems fine during Midnight Hunt so I'm guessing Thalia might show up as the new Vamp Legend. What other significant characters are left on Innistrad that aren't Planeswalkers? Maybe the Skaab guy?

Nope never did. And they kind of wrapped up Lilliana's story at the end of Strixhaven without revealing who it was. I'm a bit miffed as that's the longest running unresolved storyline in the entire game afaik. The top theory is he's Leshrac who was hanging out on Shandalar where she got the chain veil.

According to Lore Professionals the two characters on one card is probably whoever is getting married, Thalia and Odric (this would be sick but I’m hoping for sexy vampire Thalia personally) or Alena and Halana, a pair of “sister” on two cards I’d never seen or heard of before. It could also be Gitrog and Craterhoof.

Sadly Cratehoof isn't legendary, because that's a lovely idea.

just like there is Gold, Treasure and Etherium Cells that all do the same thing they could also just make a Food token and rename it just for this set

Yeah, there are lots of options, but any of them that affect an opponent instead of just providing a resource are not going to be fun as a keyword.

Maro wouldn't put it in the hype-generating teaser if this were the case. It's gotta be something new. I could envision something like "[1], Tap: Deal 1 damage to any target" and call it a Mob Token or something.

so we get about ~1.5 months of crimsom vow, then about 1 month of double feature, then kamigawa. jeez that feels very fast.

It's just the combined set but the art will be all black and white and also only at WPN stores. I just checked the date though the release for double feature is jan 28th. so about 2 weeks before kamigawa pre-release.

so just a guess maybe that means is some stores may alternate draft nights to get rid of their midnight hunt supplies.

"That must weigh heavily on your soul. Let me purge it for you."
Yeah I don't feel like Double feature is it's own thing, kind of a pain of it's good and I want to draft Kamigawa though.

Is Geralf accounted for. Don't think he's candidate for a double card (already has one with Gisa) and I don't think he's becoming a vampire, but his sister got a card in Hunt.

Don't remember where, but they confirmed Geralf is going to have a card in Crimson Vow. He might be the one giving zombies flying, actually.

• A new mechanic that removes something never removed before

I just thought of something terrible. What if Crimson Vow has a new, stupid, narrow permanent type; and this new mechanic destroys that new permanent.

I'm going to guess the new permanent is "invitations". I'm also going to guess that it's just an Aura that can enter the battlefield before your creature.

I think the previous dude meant a card that removed the card type 'creature', not creature subtypes.

Offhand I'm not aware of any one card that does that, although it can happen.
