Here's to hoping! Her being described as an inventor definitely has me thinking she's going to be UR.
I'm waiting on ordering a whole bunch of cards to make a sweet budget EDH Blue Red deck so see if we finally get the UR cares about artifacts legendary we've been waiting for for all these years.
They know people are looking forward to it so there is reason to believe they are holding on to that one for last for a big finish.
Huh? This is the thread for her. She's confirmed mono-blue. The only legend we've yet to see is Oviya, who will be some shade of green.
If we're getting a UR Artifact legend, they either forgot to put them in the legend scroll wheel, or they aren't happening till Aether Revolt. And seeing as we saw half of these characters long before they got a card, I think it's safe to say you aren't getting your UR Artifact Legend till next set.
You need it to be red though.
Make it cost 1UR with a red weird clause:
"(...)if you control the artifact with the highest mana cost, flip a coin, if you win, draw a card. If you lose, put a 1/1 thopter token in play".
A card like this would instantly become the general for my EDH coin flip themed deck. Since there are no legendary creatures that flip a coin the best coin flip commander I've found is Keranos, God of Storms, which flips the top card of my library instead.
Sometime I'd love to see them print a legendary Krark in a supplemental product (you know, the guy Krark's Thumb belonged to).

Perfect UR artificer legend, if they just added R to her cost.. like so:
There's absolutely nothing red about that card other than the mana cost.
Was my thoughts exactly.
Card as is is straight up mono blue, tacking R into the mana cost is somehow dumber than tacking G and W onto Tamiyo's mana cost.
Now feel what us werewolf fans went through with Innistrad (and honestly given how bad what we eventually got was, Shadows Over Innistrad/Eldritch Moon too).

Where did someone confirm Oviya was green?
No one has confirmed it, but the fact that she's an elf, and a lifecrafter, which have thus far only been green on Kaladesh really, really heavily implies it.
She'll probably be RG, with the whole "Renegade faction" bit.
Padeem is probably stronger than she seems. but overall...eh. Not going to find a home in my artifact edh deck.

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'm wondering why Abunas was white in the first place. I mean, between this and Privileged Position, was white hexproof on permanents a thing?

Card advantage is not the same thing as card draw. Something for 2B cannot be strictly worse than something for BBB or 3BB. If you're taking out Swords to Plowshares for Plummet, you're a fool. Stop doing these things!
I understand people want a UR commander for artifact builds, but I feel as a general, Padeem, Consul of Innovation is very strong.
You can build the deck so you will virtually always have a Honden of Seeing Winds of the battlefield plus she is also essentially a Leonin Abunas. Those are two incredibly powerful abilities on one card.
Huh. I could've sworn I saw pointy ears earlier. My mistake.
She's still a lifecrafter, which has been stated to be the green part of the Aether cycle, and what most elves aspire to be.
Fair enough, I haven't been keeping up with anything outside of the cards and the art so if she's part of a group associated with Green then you are likely right!
I guess I should go ahead and make my blue red deck then.
Eh, she's not really red. The UR commander needs to have something to do with protecting/creating artifacts, and something to do with destroying them for fun and profit.
It's ridiculous how many people are dismissing her only because she's not Izzet. In any properly made deck, she's going to get you an extra card each turn, plus a great upside. Since when "draw an extra card each turn is "meh"? She's also great with vehicles.
I'm calling it right now- worst rare in the set. Even good limited players will find better bombs at common and uncommon no sweat. Worst. Episode. Ever.
I really do predict this to be our worst rare in set award winner. I'd be happier opening a jar of eyeballs, so I think anything worse is highly unlikely. This card wont just have zero constructed potential, but not be significantly better than a mass of ghouls in a draft.

The people who are complaining she's not Izzet probably wanted her to be their Commander. That's literally the only viable argument that makes sense.

As is the character. There's nothing passionate or reckless about this character (or any vedalken, for that matter) in the story.
Vedalken on Kaladesh can be quite expressive and can be UR since invention is expression here. That said, she's not red. She was a former duelist, but she gave that up for a more dignified pursuit as a consular.

Check out the thread for my cube if you have the time, and tell me how terrible it is.
Generals meant to be drafted first in a single pack of 6 cards.
And here is the actual cube, meant to be drafted in 4 regular sized packs. (60 card decks)

In addition her life as a duelist was most likely one of a pursuit of perfection of art, which is still mono-U.
Whhat does UR do with artifacts? I don't recall UR being artifacts in the magic I play and read about. It's either U like in the old days, or being destroyed by R.

Reclusive Artificer a card from Origins that is from the plane of Kaladesh. It is based on this card and a number of other cards from Kaladesh in Origins that there was a strong thought towards a strong izzet artificer vibe. Ghirapur Æther Grid being the other noteable card.

With a new Triumph of Ferocity-style effect for artifacts!

On phasing:
Screw that I want the u/r NOW!
I understand people want a UR commander for artifact builds, but I feel as a general, Padeem, Consul of Innovation is very strong.
You can build the deck so you will virtually always have a Honden of Seeing Winds of the battlefield plus she is also essentially a Leonin Abunas. Those are two incredibly powerful abilities on one card.
You can give her Swiftfoot Boots/Lightning Greaves and she becomes basically untouchable. Giving your artifacts hexproof is very powerful. With Padeem, Consul of Innovation on the battlefield, there are only a few staples in the format that can answer your artifacts (Vandalblast, Cyclonic Rift, and Bane of Progress come to mind).
She can be a Voltron equipment commander also. What are some other cards that offer good synergy with Padeem, Consul of Innovation?

Eh, this would be a boring Izzet Artificer.
Give me something that's half Master Transmuter,
and half Goblin Welder.
Pretty please?
And I'm guessing there are two cycles of Legendaries spread across the two sets-
mono color- Gonti, Lord of Luxury, etc.
enemy color- Rashmi, Eternities Crafter, etc.
They can't do the Izzet Legendary here because Saheeli took their slot.
I will be flabberdisgusted if this legend is also absent from AER.
