Original card based on Homelands flavor text.
Devin was a bit of a pain to make. I couldn't make him a 'lord' since Faerie Noble already claimed that space (and probably needs to be changed. +2/+2 in Faeries doesn't strike me right.) I wanted to encourage 'play a lot of Faeries' though. Especially since I'd like to see whatever I made here to encourage U/G or U/B/G faerie decks outside of HR.
I also wanted Devin to be capricious, so I gave him ability that may be great, or may not fire. Funny thing... Devin started as
, but I slowly pared him down to 
. Since you're less likely to get anything good out of him on round 3 than round 5, though, he reads less powerful (at least to me.) Strange that. I suppose you could always wait till you get 
to cast him and get a Faerie token in response to his ability going off. Guess it depends on how much time you think you have.
The Fearies he makes are 1/3s to match up with HRs Willow Faeries.
Oh, and that picture... appropriate looking male fairy lords are hard to find, I guess. Glad I thought of Oberon.
I like it. It feels like it ought to be able to drop the lands straight onto the battlefield, if you wanted a little power bump.
Templating: If Wizards want to make tokens with complicated abilities, their standard phrasing is 'Put a 7/1 purple Alien creature token onto the battlefield. It has "Frobbling X, where X is the number of Aliens you control".' Most recently see From Beyond and other Eldrazi Scion-makers, but also Gild, Deathpact Angel, the ultimate from Nahiri, the Lithomancer, and so on.
