Oh yeah please, the m15 frame is the ugliest ever. I prefer the amonkhet invocation to that
But maybe this new one is worse. I don't know how I feel
Re Maros list - This... Doesn't feel that inspiring?

I think a lot of these hints are more for big Forgotten Realms fans more than anyone else. I think WOTC was going for reactions like this:
...Which is a perfectly valid way to sell a crossover set. I have no idea who Minsk and Boo are, but I'm excited to find out!It's Minsk and Boo!

The bestest recruitable NPC from the Baldur's Gate video game series
I just googled it and it turns out that Giant Space Hamsters are a thing in D&D. Oh my.The bestest recruitable NPC from the Baldur's Gate video game series
Never played Baldur's Gate, but BG3 was made by Larian, who does the Divinity series that I love, so I might check it out some day.The bestest recruitable NPC from the Baldur's Gate video game series

Noah Caldwell Gervais does a good series retrospective if you want to dive into the games strengths and weaknesses, plot and impact on the medium without playing....what 4 separate 200 hour RPGs?
It's not short, but I highly recommend him. Wonderful human with a knack for narration and a solid grasp of game design.
Link for the intrigued
Now to be fair, these teasers are always a bit weird.
“You may cast [THIS CREATURE’S NAME] from your graveyard if a creature not named [THIS CREATURE’S NAME] died this turn.”
• a creature with a death trigger that make an equipment token
• “Ward – discard a card.”
These all seem sweet gameplay wise
• Creature – Bird Bear
There's an owlbear!
• cards that let you decide where the story goes
I am intrigued what this means

Ooo that seems interesting!
Clues in the Woods - 1U
Instant - Mystery Wilderness
Investigate. (Create a colorless Clue artifact token with “
, Sacrifice this artifact: Draw a card.”)Advance the plot. (Search your library for a Mystery and/or Wilderness card. Reveal it, put it into your hand, then shuffle.)
hoo boy i really wanna see the “enter the dungeon” and “choose your own adventure” mechanics. even if it’s pretty cheesy, it’s gonna be fun

They did say there was a new Enchantment subtype. Maybe this is closer to reality than you thinkOoo that seems interesting!

I am very much looking forward to the finished game. I haven't pick up BG3 yet, because I'm not the kind of player to play through the story twice, and the beta version doesn't include all chapters yet, as I understood it.
Had me in the first half...
Kinda compareable to learn, as this will probably be a great tool for limited as well, but it's so much extra complexity for a pretty parasitic mechanic. At least this time we don't need A+B.
Also, some of these rooms barely make any sense, flavorwise. Why do all the creatures I'm running into in the dungeon suddenl appear on my site of the battlefield?

What in gosh darn flippin tarnation is this mechanic....... It's cool, but man does it add complexity to individual cards. I guess it makes a venture creature have this cool cascade of various triggers, so Nadaar does [insert dungeon thing] on ETB or attack, instead of the same thing each time.
I dunno. Cool. Weird. Complicated.

I'm the absolute opposite. This is a nightmare for people with analysis paralysis, but I fricking love the mechanic! Provided you can venture into a dungeon multiple times a turn, the mechanic can be pretty strong too! It helps a lot that you get the dungeons for free, and that you get a lot of options. Should provide some sweet, sweet gameplay!
That butt-ugly dungeon module showcase frame though... : puke :
The one thing I find really cool about dungeons is that the player can choose which direction to go on the dungeon when venturing it.
Also I find it pretty strange we do not have a card type on the dungeon cards. Example: Nowhere on Tomb of Annihilation does it say that it is a dungeon.
