by Circeus:

PLEASE tell me there is a card (ideally red or black) named (((In with the New)))

by Visitor:

In with the new would be an artifact creature version of Dramatic Entrance.

by Alex:

Which is actually a fantastic suggestion. What colour should it be? Probably blue, but I could see red, white (given Scout's Warning and white's love for artifacts), or even green.

by The Humanity:

Seems blue green to me. Green is the most common place for dropping creatures free. Blue is the most common place for artifact love, and the closest current thing to free artifact entrance, the Master Transmuter, and also this sets Hammer and Nail. However, I wouldn't hold my breath. Maybe in Steam.

As weird and out of color as it sounds, the first color that sprung to mind when I read "In with the new" was black. I'm not saying that that means anything just my first thoughts.

Actually, I can see it going into a number of colors...

White would work pretty well as both would (probably) play well with each other and could go in the same deck.

Blue is the most "in color" for this as its actually put artifact creatures onto the field before and it would create a good pairing with white's wrath.

Green, however, is the one I find most interesting. A large majority of its creatures are artifact creatures and they all use +1/+1 counters giving them natural synergy with Out with the Old. While blue might be the "correct" choice, I think we might really want to consider green as a contender.

by Link:

Both names are very red to me. The last thing they are is white.
This card is not white to me at all. In fact, with this name, flavor text, and effect together, I would call this black. That, or a white card belonging in a black color-bleed set like New Phyrexia. But this isn't a black bleed set, it's a blue/red color bleed set, at least in flavor.

by Alex:

One option would be to just rename Hammer and Nail to "In with the New".

by MOON-E:

I don't really see what about this isn't white. White gets the most wrath effects, and white also uses +1/+1 counters often even outside of this set. If the flavor seems off, then that's easily changed.

Hammer and Nail is a reference to Tooth and Nail, but we could change it possibly.

by The Humanity:

Hammer and Nail is too good a name. I'd rather not trade it for In With the New, you kinda need to be obvious when you reference something. For example, the card Capashen Standard was designed as a cycling from play card. Who knew? I didn't.
