This seems really good! It can attack from your Mana Elves Splicers, Young Pyromancer tokens, and Recruiters. Again, it depends on how adventures work, but this might be a great green aggro creature.

Food doesn't look that great.
This is neat tho
fair lightning greaves is probably bad.
Not sure I like this, but it's an interesting idea. Fetchable!
That tastes terrible.

I like the card design though! It's worse Birds of Paradise, but it is Yet Another Mono-Green Artifacts Synergy Piece (TM).

The fact that the Golden Goose makes Food into Treasure is kind of cute.
-----FOOD IS A SUBTYPE ON ACTUAL CARDS- IT'S MECHANICALLY MEANINGFUL------
Yeah, that's good, clean design for Food. The token templating change is probably good on balance. It's a bit inconsistent that "artifact" is omitted but "creature" is included. I would have expected Lovestruct Beast to be "create a 1/1 white Human token." But creature subtypes and artifact subtypes do kind of play different roles. Edit: Apparently M20 introduced "predefined tokens." I missed that change.
I don't think any of the cards get there for me except Oko and maybe Lovestruck Beast. Depending on how Adventure works, I could see Lovestruck Beast getting played out as a 5/5 blocker early and then turned on to attack later.

Well... Nothing exciting so far. Oko is just going to be extremely annoying as a 3 cmc walker with that Beast Within (I know, it "only" hits artifacts and creatures...) as a freaking +1 ability. Not my cup of tea. There's two other commons spoiled that aren't worth mentioning, so we're 10 cards in, and not a single one piques my interest. That has to be the worst start of preview season in years. I'll be patiently waiting for something better.

This on the other hand!
A bunch of other interesting faeries as well.
Rankle seems like a super sweet cross-over between the UB Madness-less Madness and the WB Smokestack Tokens archetypes in my cube

Oooooh, this is golden!
I run a cube with 3 cmc arifact acceleration, so this is right up my alley! Strong effect for a control deck as well! Note, each upkeep, that's only six turns between two players, and the 12th counter is put on the clock at the start of your own turn, giving you a fresh full grip of seven sweet cards.

The put-a-counter ability is also a nice mana sink for a draw-go control deck.
Mana sinks are nice, but I still think this is way, way too slow for a 1v1 situation. It looks tailor made for commander where it should only take a couple turns to go off. In 1v1 this is like 4-5 turns even if you're dumping a bunch of mana into it, and that's just an eternity.
But it's just a mana rock. If the rock is playable in your environment the other stuff is just an upside.

I believe we need an admin for that. I can't change the title
Jason?

Wait... "Then exile this card. You may cast the creature later from exile."? What? Clicks link...
Oh! That's actually quite neat! So you can choose between casting the creature and casting the sorcery, then the creature, but you can't cast the creature and then later the sorcery.
Too many words!
Holy shit, that alternate art! o_O Also... That's actually a need adventure, because you're getting back, presumably, another adventure. Hey, Raise Dead effects gain some value with this mechanic! Also, straight up 2/2 flying for
with two relevant creature types is not too shabby! A lot of these are going to be great for limited/cube, simply because they offer options. Order of Midnight is a great two drop that can apply some pressure, but it's also a great topdeck as a flying Gravedigger in the mid to late game. Also, all of these are great with stuff like Monastery Mentor for being creatures that are able to trigger prowess-like abilities. Great stuff actually. Love to see more!
Kinda funny with these cards as well
Adventure has been revealed
You may either cast the creature side on the right or cast the adventure side on the left. If you cast the adventure side, then you exile the spell upon resolution. Then you get to cast the creature side from exile later in the game. You can only cast the adventure from your hand.

In case anyone didn’t notice: Wizards is counting down to something. Or Eldraine is?
We are at 6 now. For reference, this is what was attached with most spoilers today:
Anyone care to guess what will happen when we reach 1 or 0?
My humble guess would be the official invitation to a Royal event.

I'm gonna have to say that I like the flavor of the adventures!

Knights across colors! Hmm... Can't decide if these are jank or good. Embereth Shieldbreaker reads like a worse Manic Vandal.
Waitasecond....
*pulls the mask off of Throne of Eldrane*
Old Man Shadowmoor! I should have known!

You mean like an almost always better Manic Vandal right?
You can cast it for 2 instead of 3.
You can also pay the full 3 mana like Vandal and then they have the same ETB effect.
You can also cast it for 1 for a removal. And then much later get a small blocker/attacker
Only upside to Vandal is the 1 extra toughness. This is a deal but not a big deal. And it doesn’t outweigh the tempo you can choose at 2 mana.
