It's not too far out of pie. White does get help for paying equip costs. Auriok Steelshaper, Auriok Windwalker as examples, also that lion guy whose name I forget. (Taj-Nar? Ah, sort of. I was thinking a different one though, I think)
Its certainly a stretch though. Is it a stretch too far? Probably not; since even colourless is allowed to make mana. Although when my best example is Mishra's Workshop I think we might have just found a small power-level problem.
@Tahazzar- I may have just misinterpreted what white could do when white cares about artifacts. Mainly, this was conceptualized as being support for Monuments in this set while still being applicable to equipment that white cares about. For that simplicity in look, I just generalized artifacts rather than specify subtypes, not considering versatility.
This is clearly a blue effect (Vedalken Engineer, Renowned Weaponsmith, Grand Architect, and Dalakos, Crafter of Wonders) and one of the clearest weaknesses white has it its lack of mana acceleration. Is there something in this set context that justifies this?
Or is it perhaps a suggestion to expand white's color pie? Considering that white is already like the "jack of all trades" in terms of its color pie, I'm personally really not into making its effect pie even more fuzzy.
Pegasus
Creature - Flying Horse
Regarding the creature itself - seems like a reasonable build-around "go make the artifact deck".
Amusingly, that's going to end with a huge stack of equipment - and hey, you already have a creature to stack it onto. So you end up with a very greedy donkey toting a lot of gear - playing back into the name in a different way. Very fun.
I mean, Pegasus shouldn't be a separate creature type any more than Isamaru is a separate creature type. Pegasus was the name of an individual horse that happened to have wings.
Unicorns could be considered just horned Horses as well since felidar are just horned Cats and the Lorwyn-variant ae just horny Elves.
According to silver borders this would be an Ass though.
Equid should replace the Horse creature type (it could include pegasi and unicorns too?).
