Mechanics

Connive

Connive lets you draw a card and discard a card, then if you discard a nonland card, you put a +1/+1 counter on the creature that connived.

Casualty

Casualty allows you to sacrifice a creature with power equal to or greater than the casualty number in order to cast a copy of that spell.

Blitz

Blitz is an alternate casting cost that gives the creature haste and allows you to draw a card when it dies, which is great since blitz also requires you to sacrifice the creature at the beginning of the next end step.

Alliance

Alliance rewards with triggered abilities for casting other creatures.

Shield Counters

“Shield counters provide two benefits. First, if a permanent with a shield counter on it would be destroyed by an effect, a shield counter is removed from the permanent instead of the creature being destroyed.”

Hideaway

The returning mechanic hideaway is an enters-the-battlefield triggered ability. “When a creature with hideaway N enters the battlefield, look at the top N cards of your library, exile one of them face down, then put the rest on the bottom of your library.” The set’s update to hideaway allows N to be any number, changed from being inherently four previously.
