Mark Rosewater posted an article on WotC's website on the 22 about hits to new cards to be in our upcoming set, Innistrad.

1. a card based on a silver-bordered white card
2. a token-making sorcery that makes more than any token-making spell
3. an enchantment that lets you play all your creatures into play for free
4. a spell that deals 13 damage to multiple creatures for one mana
5. many cards inspired by famous horror stories
6. a card that turns a loss into a win
7. a 2 mana creature that lets you make a 2/2 every turn
8. a card that lets you exchange life with something you've never been able to exchange it with before

and, drumroll please
9. a planeswalker with 5 (I said 5) abilities

based upon multiple forums I've seen, here are some suggestions

1. AWOL or Staying Power (personally hopes its Frankie Peanuts)
2. with Nomads Assembly being the most tokens a sorcery can produce with 12, 13 might be the magic number
3. maybe another type of Dream Halls
4. deals 13 damage to each creature you control? sac a creature for each target? theres a lot
5. if 2 makes 13 tokens and burn spell deals 13 damage, Friday the 13th is playing a pretty big part
6. my favorite one I've heard would make you win the game if you cant draw any more cards instead of losing the game
7. nothing really new here. a tap or bitterblossom esq effect
8. switching your life total with a planeswalkers loyalty! gogo Sorin?
9. now for the big one.
"5 abilities is too much text for a card. where would the art go. maybe 2 of them are 'or' abilities"
Obelisk of Alara
"Liliana gets 4 and the Veil gives her 1"

Remember that Rosewater's hints arent always what they appear to be.

that being said, what do you guys think?

There's really no way to tell until it comes out. Some of these cards might sound insane now, but I'm sure that there's probably a major drawback that might make them unplayable for type 2 constructed. I can't wait for the previews that start next week! I can already tell that I'm going to love the set.
