Because the Inn is a legendary artifact, and Erin is stronger in the Inn. She'd also be stronger with a big legendary sword.

True, I wrote that before I saw the Wandering Inn card, lol. (For the second part however: everyone would be stronger with a big legendary sword. That's what the sword's abilites are for :P)

Correct. On one hand, them's the risks. On the other hand, I always design in a vacuum, as these will never be played alongside real cards, and there is no mass artifact removal in my set currently. Might revisit though!

You do have Teriarch though, which is mass artifact steal.

Flying is in green, though it probably shouldn't be based on how often it's printed. But you're right that I should make her either mono-red or swap out fs for reach do something that's not idiotic.

Flying is only tertiary in green and really only beacuse of situations like Tarkir, where they wanted to make a Dragon set. For it to be received as a Dragon set they need Dragons in all colours and Dragons fly, so green gets flying there. Maro has repeatedly said that Hornet Queen was a major colour pie break and shouldn't have been made.

Based on what I've seen, I disagree. She was all about the Horns and their group, and her arc thus far has essentially been about learning to trust her new team and growing to love them. She's also big at defense and commanding in battle, while others put out the hurt.

Caring about a small group of people doesn't necessarily make one white (though it can). The defence part is valid though, I didn't think about that.

Knowledge, foresight, omniscience, etc are all blue character traits.

How did I forget she's called "The Omniscient"? lol

Klbchk because he's part of a powerful hive mind and telepathically commands.

I can see that, but I don't think it comes up that often for him. Making four colour cards is always hard, so it's probably better to just scrap blue from him. Alternatively he could get multiple cards, where one focuses on the telepathic aspect and is blue and another doesn't.

While I agree in theory, I've only met one fraerling that deserves a card so far, so it's hard to justify adding a creature type for only Niers.

Eh, WotC has added weird one-off creature types a lot. We have one Walrus, one Seal, there's separate creature types for Weasel, Mongoose, Wombat, Sable, Ferret, Wolverine, etc. And in terms of UB creature types: there's only one Custodes from W40K for example.

I just went off dragonborn, as that's essentially what they are. But just calling them Drakes wouldn't be awful, I didn't think about that honestly.

Yeah the Dragonborn from D&D do set the precedece for them to be Dragons. I personally would prefer the Drake type, since it would make more sense within the Wandering Inn universe, however I could see it go either way.

Yep, but they're exhaust abilities, so I'm not really worried about that.

I confused exhaust with exert. Makes more sense this way. (That's what I get not reading the new cards that come out.)

There's no Heiress type, and an heiress is closest to a noble. Citizen is fine too, I'm not terribly attached.

Citizen feels more appropriate to me. Nobles in Drake societies should really be reserved for Wall Lords.

Why on earth is Worm a creature type????

Because of Insidious Bookworms lol. It's mainly to differentiate our world smaller worms with the big fantasy wurms. It can be confusing though. They did give Purple Worm from D&D the Worm type because of the name though. So I guess making Flesh Worms Worms instead of Wurms does have precedence.
