Innistrad: Crimson Vow's spoiler season has finally begun!
And right on the first day we had several revelations and news of what's to come in the new set, including new frames, reprints and more!
Innistrad: Crimson Vow's Lore
Innistrad: Crimson Vow continues the lore where we left off in Innistrad: Midnight Hunt, where Teferi and Arlinn's plan to regulate the day and night cycle went awry, and eventually took the plane to a perpetual night state.
Not far from there, begins the greatest wedding of the entire vampire community, Olivia Voldaren resurrected Edgar Markov from his grave using her own blood to marry him, thus becoming the most powerful and influential vampire in all Innistrad!

And vampires will receive a special frame treatment on this set, called Fang Treatment!
However, one who is not too pleased to see his family dishonored is Sorin Markov, planeswalker and grandson of Edgar Markov, who will attend the wedding to interrupt Olivia's nefarious plans.
And he also received special treatment from Ayami Kojima, artist and illustrator known for his work on the video game series Castlevania!
And Sorin isn't alone in his plan to stop Olivia, Chandra and Kaya will also be attending the wedding!
A Modern and Legacy Staple Reprint
One of Innistrad's most important characters, Thalia, was absent at Midnight Hunt, but will reappear in Crimson Vow, not with a new version, but with a reprint of its most powerful version, being a Modern and Legacy staple which will now enter Standard and Pioneer!
The Return of a Tarkir Keyword
Mark Rosewater mentioned that a mechanic belonging to a faction in another set would return in Innistrad: Crimson Vow.
The mechanic revealed itself as Exploit, featured in Fate Reforged and Dragons of Tarkir!
The Exploit mechanic allows you to optionally sacrifice a creature to get an additional effect from the creature you cast.
Innistrad: Crimson Vow's Mechanics
Innistrad: Crimson Vow has some mechanics of its own, and some that will be reused from Innistrad: Midnight Hunt.
It has been confirmed that Daybound and Nightbound will be present in Crimson Vow, as will the Werewolves.
Another mechanic that returns from Midnight Hunt is Disturb, which lets you cast a card that has this ability from your graveyard transformed, and as we can see above, Disturb's effect will now also be available to transform creatures into other types of permanents!
In the new mechanics, we have Blood, a token that can be sacrificed, paying one mana and an additional cost of discarding a card to make you draw a card, and that many additions from the new set will interact with them.
Another new mechanic is called Training !
Training says that, when a creature attacks with another creature that has a power greater than its own, it gains a +1/+1 counter.
Another new mechanic in Crimson Vow is Cleave, which lets you pay an additional cost to change the text of the spell cast, removing all words that are in square brackets.

For example, in Dig Up it's written to search for a basic land from your deck, reveal it to your opponent, and put it into your hand at its normal cost, but by paying its Cleave cost, it can search for any card from your deck and put it into your hand, without revealing it to the opponent.
