Probably not
I debated making vanilla 1/1s, but as copies these would get the aerial supertype. Depending on what I do, the tokens could be vanilla 1/1 green insects in the future.
I actually see it as a benefit not to enable such a complex/"meh" combination.
Does this need the aerial qualifier?
If there's (going to be) something in set that puts sky tokens on things as they arrive then entering as a copy allows you to make nearly twice as many tokens.
XX is fairly confusing, especially when it's not mana cost (). Might be preferable to remove X counters then create half X 1/1 tokens, rounded down. Also no reason to make them copies rather than vanilla 1/1s
I forgot Menace existed for a minute. Is "Can't be blocked by creatures with mana value 2 or less" something that is currently used? I've seen green get evasion from creatures less than two power. Evasion of mana value two or less didn't give me anything when I checked Gatherer (admittedly, I searched the whole phrase and I might've needed to break it up for better results). I'm not opposed to that, but it gives me vibes too close to green's power 2 unless it already exist.
"Whenever you cast an Aerial spell, Black Cloud gains "Cannot be blocked by non-aerial creatues until end of turn."" to Menace. Increased power and toughness from 3/3 to 4/4
But why give evasion that is flying to a creature that has flying? Menace is evasion. "Can't be blocked by creatures with mana value 2 or less" is evasion.
Yes, however I think there's still value in having some evasion in the set. I tweaked to non-aerial creatures for this evasion, because black usually doesn't get "cannot be blocked" outright. Since swinging for discard would probably be blocked as often as possible, I needed to include some kind of evasion.
Didn't you write somewhere aerial creatures already implicitly have flying?
Nice. It's a seemingly random mishmash of effects, but it works. I can even see a creative justification for each effect, with the earth cracking open to release fire and fumes, covering the battlefield in a cloud of ash.
I cannot really tell when the anti-search effect would matter, so I wonder, whether this is trinket text or has a particular purpose in the set.
was missing supertype
"Sacrifice X tokens twice: You gain X life."?
This is so stupid-over-the-top that it could be mythic rare.
