Original Card: Joven
See also: Chandler.
There aren't enough Legends in this set to really warrant uncommon Legends, assuming five of them are bumped up to Mythic. Joven and Chandler were only commons by way of accident. Lots of Legends in a small set ending up bumping these guys down to Common 2. Back in a day when people didn't know what the rare in the pack was, it didn't seem like such a big deal. Now it looks weird.
I wanted to keep these two similar to each other, because they're mirrors to each other. In contrast, Clockwork Steed and Clockwork Swarm don't mirror each other, so I had to mess with them to make them feel like two different cards. Since Chandler destroys artifact creatures, I figured he might need to take a round to block first, so I gave him the Earth Elemental stats. Joven might be sided in against a creature light board, and could instead choose to swing with his Fire Elemental stats.
It's kind of sad that the rares seem to be the most simple cards in the set.
It is weird, I admit. I can do a better job rectifying this when all the cards are here, and I can see which cards need to be swapped for what. But Joven and Chandler aren't likely to move... and neither is a string of Legendary creatures with very straightforward abilities...
