You know, if we didn't have a ton of cards leak before spoiler season, days like today would at least be a touch more interesting. Shane Wizards doesn't change their schedule around leaks eh?
Faerie Miscreant "I r dissapoint". Ravnica faeries are garbage though, so its expected. But Lorwyn is a plane covered in this set, so can we get some good blue faeries please? lol a 2/1 flyer for UU would be fine

I much prefer Miscreant over a 2/1 for UU. I know I've considered Zephyr Sprite more than once in the past, and this one is a strict upgrade.
I'm thinking the mono-U Ninja deck would benefit extremely well from this little guy
You could get 4 if you can kill this with the trigger on the stack.
To keep things in perspective: you're sacrificing a 3/2 so you can get an extra 2/2. Generally not what you want to do unless you're about to cast another of these guys.

This is the first 1 mana flyer ever printed with an upside and no drawbacks (including less than 1 power as a drawback) at common. It's a COMMON. A very good one.
Common cycle seems pretty good for Limited. I'd keep an eye especially on the Red one. Madcap Skills and Dragon Mantle taught me to keep an keen eye on solid Red Enchantments that work well in Aggro. Shame Heroic won't be able to use it.
I first thought that Cleric was the worst one, but once I noticed it counts itself as well, suddenly it became alright. Now the Faerie seems the worst one, but still pretty playable if the set has the right tools. Drafting lots of Faeries and some Equipments seem like a winner.
The only unplayable common out of those is the blue one. The red one will be format dependent and the black one will require multiples.

This guy, would either eat up several turns worth of mana to get a slow permanent that relies on your already have some board presence (after wasting said mana), or dies without generating any advantage.
The faerie might actually be modern playable. It seems really good in faeries a splinter twin faerie hybrid shell. It's a turn 1 faerie to keep spell stutter sprite on curve while representing card advantage. At the very least it's going straight into some pauper decks. Infectious blood seems good in standard. It reminds me of rancor but with haste and more toughness (but cost more and is better for delve).
Edit: Why so much hate for the blue one? It has flying, a VERY relevant creature type and gets better in the late game rather than worse.

In what format is a 1 mana 1/1 flyer good? Maybe if you had like 4 or more of these in a limited deck, sure, I'd think about it. Other than that? Sb filler.

good for the card itself, its designed mostly for limited. I am allowed my opinion, but I'd prefer a faerie similar to welkin tern than another 1/1 faerie or a groundling pouncer that didnt rely on an opponent's creature to gain flying, even if the ability to only gain flying were to cost 3 mana.

Yeah, to turn on the upside, you need to fill your deck with 1/1 fliers. The green one seems like the best of the cycle (black is close); blue, worst.

Well, 1/1 fliers for U were a pretty important part of MUD last standard, they played like 10 copies (though the evolve one, clouding raptor, was usually bigger pretty quickly, and judge's familiar ' s sac ability was pretty relevant). The possibility of drawing a card 8s probably worse than either of those, but a blue deck with a ton of 1-drops could abuse Days Undoing.
Also, Infectious Blood is a bad Rancor, but might still be decent. Giving haste isn't bad, it can allow 2-drop+this to be decent on t4, and finding copies eliminates the biggest downside. Not as damage - efficient as Madcap Skills, but Skills showed that aggro is willing to play good cheap auras, and this is close enough that it might be worth testing (especially if red doesn't get some more goodies this set, it might want this at rotation). Also, while Chandra herself may or may not be great, this does work well with her (by making double 2-drops t4 to flip her better, as well as pumping her if need be)
Edit: forgot to add, the other three are solid in limited, constructed unplayable)

The faerie could be good enough for mono blue in pauper or even for modern faeries.
The soldier isn't too bad either. Collected company into two nets you 8 life

The only bone I have to pick though is that the green card of the cycle is an old card, not to say it is a terrible one, just that it is old news.
