I thinking have multiple supertypes is self-defeating. A supertype should be the broadest possible category something [a card] can fall under, so having two supertypes doesn't make any sense to me. I also dislike it aesthetically.

The idea of making instant a subtype seems much more natural to me, and the point of having Flash is that the subtype draws attention to the rules text and the two become linked, generally. This is the design Fantasy Flight Games (FFG) adopts with their Living Card Game (LCG) model. In Android: Netrunner, the subtypes almost always come with particular rules text associated with them. I will link you examples if you are curious.

This idea of making Instant a subtype of Sorcery is something I'd been thinking about for a while, as well as some other subtypes for the Sorcery type. Cantrips always have 'draw a card' after all other text. Arcane cards could have something unique to them... I'm not quite sure yet. Charms could always be on cards that offer two or more modular options; Rituals always play with mana, either adding it or filtering it, etc. Trap is another example - it always has a specific rules text associated with it.

WotC does a lot of weird things I don't understand. For example, the only subtypes of Enchantments are Auras and Curses, and as you'll notice Auras always come with specific rules text: "Enchant X". Curses work much the same way, always affecting a specific player. But then there were the 'Quest' Enchantments from 1st Zendikar block which would've been a really cool subtype for Enchantments except they weren't legitimized as a subtype.

(IDK, I've always wanted to design my own card game, and I do a lot different from WotC. That's exactly why I've been out of Magic for so long and I've gotten more into FFG's LCG model. I think they've learned a lot from WotC, but WotC is in such a position that they can't really change their model or retcon cards. I think their model is toxic for players, but it sure makes them a ton of money. /rant)

Instant as a subtype and flash? Instant as a supertype is the usual suggestion. What's up with this? I would get one or the other, but both?

Also, REPRINT: Deflecting Palm.

Mistblade Shinobi is a pretty powerful card, so +1 power and flash seems unnecessary.

Yes. Western-style dragon vs Eastern-style dragon.

This is just the Targaryen emblem isn't it?
