Kaldheim "sneak peak previews" will be happening this week, then proper previews will start on January 7. Unclear if this means cards, or just art and flavor.

New planeswalker: Tyvar Kell
magic.wizards.com
Elves used to be the gods of the plane, but then the current gods took over and kicked them out. Elves then split into wood elves and shadow elves, but the new elf king has united the two. Tyvar is his boastful and warlike brother, notable for going shirtless even in the freezing cold. His magic allows him to transform himself and other objects into materials that are nearby, so he can turn his skin to rock, or into lava if any is nearby.
New planeswalker: Niko Aris
magic.wizards.com
Niko actually comes from Theros, and is nonbinary. An oracle foresaw that they would be a great athlete who would never lose, so then they purposely lost a competition to show fate has no power over them. Klothys sent an agent after them, and during the confrontation, they sparked and fled to another world. They are newly sparked and are trying to figure out their path on Kaldheim. Niko can summon mirror-like daggers that can trap living things in a pocket dimension on contact, though normal people can break out in minutes and strong people in seconds. This can be used to surprise enemies with a summoned ally out of nowhere, though. Niko is blue-aligned, and is an attempt to explore a different characterization space from other blue planeswalkers. Niko questioning fate and breaking away from it was meant to mirror the nonbinary experience. "Niko is helping to express some of the more positive and aspirational sides of blue: the desire to learn, the dedication to improve oneself, the discipline to practice skills, and the curiosity to question the parts of the world other people might take for granted." Chris Mooney and Katie Allison, both nonbinary, played big roles in their development.

The next sneak peek is a new Boros Saga via the band Angra. (source post)
There should be one more spoiler today and then four more tomorrow.

First of today's spoilers via Smoulder (source), a dwarf lord.
There's also several cards previewed in today's article, but I can't grab them on my phone.

Collecting Kaldheim
Here's an early look at what you need to know about the truly epic card treatments available in the upcoming Kaldheim set.
magic.wizards.com
No new cards spoiled, but they go over how many of the showcase arts and what not there are. Also, a new mechanic they'll reveal during the Jan 7th spoiler stream.

Person at the end is Tibalt, captions confirm.

Before the Kaldheim full previews officially begin, I thought I'd have some fun with another Maro teaser where I give you tiny hints of things to come. As always, be aware that I'm only giving you partial information.
First up, here are some things you can expect to see in Kaldheim:
• a five-color legendary enchantment
• 2{B} for a 6/6 with deathtouch
• a card that allows you to kill someone with poison
• A card with a {W}{W}{U}{U}{B}{B}{R}{R}{G}{G},{T} activation
• a card that lets you use a creature's toughness to perform an action normally using a creature's power
• numerous new noncreature tokens
• a card that can make a token that's a copy of target permanent for no mana
• a black creature that can copy other creatures
• the introduction of a creature type that players have been wanting for years
• a card with three activation costs, one that's only ever used once before and the other two have never been used before
Here are some snippets of rules text you'll see:
• "protection from God creatures"
• "Sacrifice five Treasures:"
• "if three or more creatures died this turn"
• "Choose 1, 2, or 3 at random."
• "except for Giants, Wizards, and lands"
• "you may search your library and/or graveyard for a Rune card"
• "As long as you control three or more legendary creatures"
• "X is the number of Vehicles you control plus the number of Equipment you control"
• "As long as you have at least 7 life more than your starting life total"
• "create X of those tokens instead"
And finally, here are some creature type lines you'll see:
• Angel Warrior
• Zombie Rogue
• Dwarf Cleric
• Horse Spirit
• Vampire Dragon
• Legendary Creature – Wolf
• Legendary Creature – Bird Spirit
• Legendary Creature – Giant Wizard
• Legendary Creature – Demon Berserker
• Legendary Creature – Squirrel
~~~
Surprised to see poison return seemingly as a one-off.
Legendary Squirrel! We did it!
Not sure what creature type could be introduced, if it isn't Viking.

Looks really good, and can wreck some shit in Legacy with their fetches and rocks. Plus, you know, you can play it just as a growing wolf boy.

Also, some crazy Rebecca Guay collaborations with other artists coming up

No one talking about the potential leaked card on Reddit?

Phyrexians were only a matter of time! I hope it's real, even if i don't love this card

Time Spiral Remastered is physical and MTGO, not Arena, as a reminder. Its big gimmick is old-frame cards.
Also, I suppose I should start asking for Kaldheim thread titles.

First actual reveal in a while
Decent uncommon
Also, making the new thread tonight. Going with Thor 2: The Dark World.
