Lone Goat posted:there's only been 120+ coloured artifacts and THAT'S WHERE I DRAW THE LINE 130. 86 of which are from Alara, where they were the gimmick. 5 of which also enchantments, so you're looking at 39, 12 of which don't actually require colored mana to cast. Versus the 1700+ non colored ones. Don't be disingenuous, in any previous set these'd been enchantments. They've been quite open that they see colored artifacts as a potential solution to the power level issues that plague artifacts, and they've similarly admitted that artifacts and enchantments aren't particularly distinct even before this change, but I haven't heard any proposals to address this. Face it, in a game who's biggest issue is being hard as hell to learn, having redundant card types just doesn't make sense.

I think they are just split cards in isolation, but that the Adventure type will be relevant for other stuff.

I realize there are like 300 of them, but I have to admit it still bugs me to see humans which are themed as one dude, and are 3/3 or bigger. It just seems wrong. It’s like a 2/2 dragon or something.

Witching well could be argued either way, enchantments don't normally have an activated ability that sacrifices themselves (yes I know they've done it before but its exceedingly rare compared to artifacts with that ability) and the slipper is literally an equipment

The WAR planeswalkers were a test run for getting rid of artifacts, enchantments, instants, and sorceries and replacing them with planeswalkers

Intuitively, from the way it’s framed, they’re creatures that have a spell in their own hand that they can cast once if they’re on the battlefield.

"(2), tap, Sac: gain 3 life" isn't great but I'm pretty sure they did that just so the tokens had SOME innate value. Looking at the Goose, I'm pretty sure it's going to be at least somewhat easy to create a Food token. The interesting thing to me is how Food is going to interact with some of the artifact and proliferate strategies out there.

Wishful merfolk is good flavour. Does the 5/5 lovestruck guy get to attack if there's an intangible virtue on the field? Seems to me like 1/1 tokens are still 1/1, but get +1/+1 afterward.

If alternate uses for food are the primary way the mechanic works then it's basically an energy variant.

His discard and sacrifice effects sound really irritating since Faeries look like they'll have a lot of ways to plus and are small enough to be expendable. He can also do them both at once.

Card seems good if you want a 3/3 Flying Haste with a whole ton of optional effects - if you're playing against a control deck, you smack them for 4 and both of you draw a card, or maybe hit them for 3 and choose discard and get rid of some dead removal spell. The edict seems fine as a situational effect if the opponent just has a big ground idiot or two and you get to trade a faerie for a much larger creature. If you're empty handed you can make only them discard a card and then both of you draw a card, which seems good.

In any case, if fairies follow their usual theme of having crappy bodies with powerful etb effects, "each player sacrifices a creature" is going to feel pretty close to "your opponent sacrifices a creature", which is very nice on a hasty evasive thing. The discard mode being optional is especially nice (you only need to use it when you're hellbent or have a card you don't mind discarding - while your opponent needs to choose whether they answer it before they find out whether you intend to use it or not), and the draw mode doubles as a secret +1 damage mode to help close out the game if you think you can answer whatever your opponent draws.
