This is Bill the Pony (Samwise's pony that he got in Bree). The GW mechanic for the set is Steadfast, which grants indestructible upon a trigger, and Sam is the marquee Steadfast card in the set, so I had the Packhorse care about indestructible by gaining vigilance and a P/T boost to show that it will continue traveling tirelessly if it has Sam to guide it.

Does this seem reasonable? Would 0/6 or 0/8 make more sense?

This... makes a lot of sense, and looking back on it I'm not sure that it is enough to use the Lore mechanic as justification for this. I may edit it.

You should downlink the images and upload them to your own online album (such as imgur or photobucket).

I think this site keeps (re)loading these broken image links which is why if you open the visual spoiler page of this set you notice a drastic rise in the browser's CPU usage. EDIT: Eh, nevermind that CPU usage rise also happens on my set's visual spoiler page.

REPRINT: Shadows of the Past.

Eh, this to me feels like a poster boy of how to NOT use that mechanic. You just kinda slapped it in there. IMO it should rather directly reference a notable character and/or have some kind of state switch if it's legendary (preferably something that just doesn't make it strictly better).

I think it's also appropriate if you link in the mechanics page to the mechanic's original creator.

2/1 with haste for {1} {r} is super-aggressive but considering cards like Valley Dasher and Rakdos Shred-Freak I guess it's within acceptable parameters for a common card.

Why does this hobbit have the p/t stats of a Giant (say Thundering Giant for example)? In general I feel most of the hobbits in the set are too large. Even 2/2 is pushing it IMO.

Also, did you ever consider using the Kithkin type instead of (new type) Hobbit?

I don't get it... What's the flavor here exactly?

2017-03-25 15:37:45: Tahazzar commented on Oak of the Old Forest

At common this seems like it would end the attempts of any aggressive decks. As of yet, there is not a single indestructible creature at common. Even at uncommon the indestructible creatures have been rather overcosted (Darksteel Myr, Darksteel Sentinel). This does have defender which is good, but it still seems much like a Fog Bank which is likely just too much bear at common rarity.

Of all the colors, {w} is the one that gets the least amount of drawing so I don't like this at all. {r} can use it's impulse draw to get something like Abbot of Keral Keep. {u} obviously can get a card like Merchant of Secrets and since it's a creature, green can get Elvish Visionary. {b} can draw as long as it has a drawback attached to it - most commonly life loss like in Phyrexian Rager.

But {w} ? Not likely. I also personally have a great distaste for WotC's rather recent experiments of {w} drawing at rare rarity with cards like Bygone Bishop, Mentor of the Meek, and Sram, Senior Edificer.

I consider this to be important since {w} has great threats and can answer basically everything so the two weaknesses it has (running out of gas and not having ramp) should be respected.
