this kills me vesperlark if there were more elemental cratures that had 1 power you would have be a hot toy for my horde of notions deck but hopefull more elementals like that pop out in future sets
Oh a Red dragon reflecting into a somewhat blue dragon, nice, if there was fire and thunder in the art would make it a 10/10.
The minilairk is nice prob soul sisters playable
Alright, so I took a look at a few of Vesperlark's strongest hits in the format:
Gigantomancer, which can inexpensively turn your creatures, including itself, into 7/7s. Maul Splicer slams 6 power of golem tokens onto the battlefield, but Trostani's Summoner gives you an even more impressive 9 power across 3 bodies. Marionette Master can be a 4/6 or come with 3 bodies for extra flexibility. Triskelavus and other similar creatures that enter the battlefield with +1/+1 counters make great hits. Prime Speaker Zegana, in particular, draws you oodles of cards. Bitterheart Witch can make a curse deck a reality.
It can bring back Body Double to potentially kickstart the combo with Reveillark itself.
Twisted Reflection is one of the most elegant designs I’ve ever seen,
but 1UB is kind of a lot for creature removal that is technically conditional,
even with the added utility of the non-fatal modes.
Obviously, it would have made a lot more waves if the spell had only cost U.

The problem with defining this format by what is "fun" is that everyone seems to define fun as what they don't lose to. If you keep losing to easily answered cards, that means you should improve your deck. If you don't want to improve your deck, then you should come to peace with the idea that you are going to lose because you chose to not interact with better strategies.
Ooh, different colored entwine costs. That is interesting.
As for the cards themselves, both look like decent uncommons. Twisted Reflection can be used as removal in a pinch (first reduce a creatures power to zero or below, then switch), and Vesperlark can reanimate cheap, but crucial creatures for your deck.

It's about time for the reserved list to die, for the sake of Vintage and Legacy (And Commander).
Also of note, Twisted Reflection may target 2 different creatures. So you can combat-trick kill one creature while also killing a 0 power wall or something.

You can also run Chimney Imp for the memes.

The good old feeder is now modern legal!
Nope. Carrion feeder isn't modern legal unfortunately. It can target phantasmal image though, which makes an infinite combo with altar of dementia.
Edit: I stand corrected carrion feeder is now modern legal.
