Dropped the "Minion" type from the tokens.
Shortened the flavor text
So I have once made a file filled with just cards that make exactly two 2/2 creature tokens and I approve this design.
Hmm, that does sound somewhat intriguing however simple the premise might seem. What were the constraints you set for yourself? Ie. would Talrand's Invocation and Knight Watch "qualify"?
Any card that now would contain the phrase "create two 2/2" has been accepted e. g. Maalfeld Twins. That means both the cards you mention qualify.
I am going to assume that Orc tribal is gonna be a thing in the later sets. Is this set meant to be drafted alone or is it a "you should only draft the full block"? I mentioned this earlier, but the low amount of commons may make drafts a bit same-y, like Coldsnap draft was (though that had mechanics that encouraged picking up as many copies of certain cards as possible).
Love this card.
