Love this card in blink decks too, since you get to keep the tokens if Faerie Artisans leaves play (regardless if it comes back right away.) You could actually build quite an army this way.
Also, PSA: It's not a 75% chance to do anything. It is 50% each time you try. Failing the first flip will not increase or decrease your odds of succeeding with your next one. Each fair flip will give you a 50% chance of success.
It's 50% the first time, and 50% the second time, giving it overall a 75% chance to activate within the first two turns of playing it. (So a 75% chance to activate by the time a Nevy Disk would have activated)
But it is misleading, because your second chance is actually still a 50% chance. Your odds on each flip never increase or decrease because of past failures.
Overly sensitive mods further enforcing a reactionary community of whiners? I'm not surprised. If "Gay Kings" offends you, it is because of your own low self esteem, not because of any offense intended in any of the 7 pages of comments. Grow up and enjoy the game. Nobody is trying to oppress or harm anybody here.
Yeah, this card is pretty good. 50% chance to destroy everything, and nothing bad if I lose the flip? Pretty good.

Why does Ludevic not have anything to do creating anything? I think they designed the card then slapped the name on it afterwards. There is no way that they came up with a UREdric, Spymaster of Trest while trying to make a mad scientist.
I doubt any of the partner commanders are going to be good enough to change the rules for. I actually kind of like that about them; not good enough to be commanders on their own, but good enough as a modal creature.
Partner is such a damn lazy mechanic. Oh we didn't want to actually come up with more 4 color cards, we just wanted you to pair the RW partner card with the UB partner card or something. Not to mention, will it be a recurring theme each year/more commanders with partner will be printed because if not then you can only have a pair of commanders from just this years' decks.
You don't think it would have been lazier to just put some abilities on a card and slap a mana cost on it? How long have you been playtesting the new commander meta with these cards?
It may not be a Standard player, but it is heading down the path of being a Casual favorite (with potential implications in other formats.) Doubling Season has never seen any real play outside of Casual either.
You just made most Green EDHs very sad. I think Commander is the biggest reason this is going up in price, since nearly every Commander Deck wants this. Hard. It's a threat you can drop T4 (at the latest) that MUST be answered before you get to your next turn. Drop this lategame and if no one answers this in response to its ETB, it basically reads "You win.".

WHen ~ enters the battlefield, return target artifact or creature to its owner's hand.
(some amount of mana): Choose one:
~ deals 3 damage to target player.
target creature gets -4/-4 until end of turn.
you gain 5 life.

Commander is a Casual format. It is also the only format I play (well, I play Limited a lot too.) I love having "stupid bull***** that needs to be banned" out in Bombnath.
