I'm glad they've been spoiling more of the commons this set. It's interesting to see for draft and in any case better than complete silence and then having the last 100 cards dumped on Friday.
Weaponcraft Enthusiast has some awesome artwork. My inner Starcraft player is just screaming "dark templar" when I see that.
I feel exactly the same way, only I see agents of the Conclave from the original game, personally. The more I see of the Aetherborn, the more they remind me of Protoss. I have a sudden urge to make an Aetherborn deck with all of my Swamps altered to look like Pylons. I can't be the only one, can I?
Fun limited stuff. Maybe the fabricating aetherborn could do a sub-optimal build, but mostly fun draft fodder.

Still waiting for the really good payoff cards for fabricate. Cool cards though just wanna see a really good way to use 1/1 servos or +1/+1 counters

The true mind can weather all the lies and illusions without being lost. The true heart can tough the poison of hatred without being harmed. Since beginning-less time, darkness thrives in the void but always yields to purifying light.
I invision a future where one is not mighty when he can silence a crowd with brutality,
but when he leaves them speechless with wisdom.
I like fabricate, but there will rarely be a time when Felhide Minotaur is actually better than getting an army of guys (2 1/1s and a 0/1 that can be recurred for another platoon). Every once in a while, you'll be afraid of a Pyroclasm effect, or something, but the whole mechanic feels largely like a false choice. Quantity is not always better than quality, but an extra guy (and an artifact, no less) is better quantity than a simple +1/+1 counter is quality.
Oooh, Restoration Gearsmith. A Hill Giant + Gravedigger. A Hill Digger? Grave Giant? Can't wait to draft two + of these and loop them together as chump blockers or sac outlets. Weaponcraft Enthusiast gives a lot of bodies for three mana. Hopefully the go-wide strategy has some decent support to really make this guy tick.
Nice Limited commons, Reckless Fireweaver in particular looks fun. The effect may be a bit slow for Constructed but it can easily get out of hand if you stick two of them on the board, I wonder if an artifact-heavy RDW will see play, it sounds fun at least.

Probably, except I'm betting there are enough +1/+1 matters cards out there that it becomes a false choice in the other direction for that limited build (which is probably in GW, since we haven't seen that uncommon yet). And while the choice might be 99% in favor of one option over the other, having the other option when you need it is fine.
Aviary Mechanic has some of the best Magic artwork I've seen in a long time.
Reckless Fireweaver is an Artificer.... I wanna find a way to make this work in R/W Artificer aggro so bad. I wonder if Thraben Inspector, Pia Nalaar, Inventor's Goggles and Bone Saw are enough artifact drops to make this worthwhile...?

Aetherborn really looks like Protoss. Adun Toridas!

Well I mean, anything can get out of hand if not dealt with, but you know what I'm getting at.
Reckless Fireweaver and Fabricate. Mmmmm....
Pity it doesn't hit creatures.
Man, this limited environment is gonna be a blast. These synergies look amazing.
Seriously, she might be exactly what that Modern deck needed to push it over the top.
