2/1 -> 2/2. Giving black a little more bulk.
It's weird how quickly colors go from "Doesn't get a 2/2 for 1C" to "Let's give it something better than a 2/2 for 1C".
It's fine though. Despite my observation I think this is a good card mechanically.
Needs flavor text - make the casual visitor of your world know things better.
This is an example of a card, where using an unfamiliar term makes you uncertain what the card is. Is Jiangshi a race of undead? Is it a profession like mythical garbage disposal specialist? Is it a proper name? (If you just hear the name, will you assume it's a generic creature or a proper character and hence maybe a legendary?)
Wouldn't the name "Jiangshi Corpseeater" set up a more accurate expectation than "Corpse-Eater Jiangshi"?
Name & Flavor Text.
That's a good point, one that I've admittedly been thinking about less and less as the set design goes on.
Hopefully this combination of name and flavor text is a bit more understandable.
Are there any other terms or names that you guys find confusing or not understandable?
