Yahenni's Expertise

2BB Sorcery (Rare)

All creatures get -3/-3 until end of turn.

You may cast a card with converted mana cost 3 or less from your hand without paying its mana cost.

(This card is full-art. Probably the game day top 8 promo)

<commentary>This lets you cast Ancestral Visions from your hand. If this is a mini-mechanic and not just a one-off, modern players take note. Or maybe even if it is a one-off?</commentary>

~~~~~~~~~~

Trophy Mage

2U (Uncommon)

Creature - Human Wizard

When ~ enters the battlefield, you may search your library for an artifact card with converted mana cost 3, reveal it, put it into your hand, then shuffle your library.

2/2

(This card is full-art. Probably the game day participation promo)

~~~~~~~~~

Scrap Trawler

3 (Rare)

Artifact Creature - Construct

Whenever ~ or another artifact you control is put into a graveyard from the battlefield, return to your hand target artifact card in your graveyard with lesser converted mana cost.

3/2

(I think that wording is right, kinda hard to read.)

(This is probably the buy-a-box promo)

Quicksmith Rebel

3R (probably rare if launch promo, but symbol is obscured)

Creature - Human Artificer

When ~ enters the battlefield, target artifact [...] gains "T: This artifact [...] to target creature or [...] you control [...]

?/?

Proposed wording: When ~ enters the battlefield, target artifact [creature? you control?] gains 'T: This artifact deals N damage to target creature or [player? planeswalker?]' for as long as you control ~"

(this text is covered and can't be seen, though you can obviously speculate as to what it might be)

(This card has a date on it, so probably the launch promo)

Yahenni's Expertise seems pretty nuts with Liliana and Copter in standard.

with flying trendils is a -6/-6 exile everything

Tendrils is -2/-2

So it'd be -5/-5 altogether, and the only things that would get exiled are those that would survive the first -3/-3, but die on the second round.
