Even if it's art shows it flying a bird can not have flying.

lol I just noticed that Gatherer still lists "converted mana cost" instead of "mana value".
And ratings and comments are still broken.
They really did just give up entirely on Gatherer and rely on third-party sites to fill the gap.

It's worse. The 'type' field was broken when they added un-sets; now types include "scariest" and "eaturecray". It's been that way for at least a year.

You can't. All subtypes are associated with a particular card type, and Plague Engineer requires you to select a creature type, while Equipment is an artifact type.

No. One of the tricky things about cards with multiple types is that each subtype is associated with one of the types but not both.
Like equipment is never a creature type, so you can't name it off engineer. But you'll notice these reconfigure creatures are also "cats" or "jellyfish" which are creature types you can name.
Other than "just know it" there is no way to know which type goes with which subtype. You'll have to look it up in the rules of you don't know. (the rules contain a full list of all legal types and subtypes.)

Clarity on reconfigure:

MaRo posted:

"How do reconfigure cards work with cards that can directly attach equipment?"

Here’s what Jess Dunks, the Rules Manager says, “Effects like Sigarda’s Aid or Stonehewer Giant can attach Equipment creatures with reconfigure, and in that case they stop being creatures until they become unattached.”

Doesn't look like he's touched on getting the Equip ability, if that's handled differently.

this "attacking alone" thing makes me feel queasy about whatever color pairs have that as a theme

also I can't imagine the best common in the set will be anything other than a 1/1 unblockable or flier

I've been thinking more about this card and I think it's really powerful. I'm not sure if it can find a home given how restrictive the mana cost is, but it can play a simultaneous ritual and card advantage role. While you don't want to be casting cards from your hand with it, that clause means that it's rarely dead.

It's not a meta issue. It's a card that I think current magic has kind of passed by.
