As awesome as this is, to truly get into a Kobold Commander deck it's going to cost a pretty penny. Hope there A LOT of red kobolds here because if this is going to be in a Commander deck, it'll need A LOT of support... like 20+ more kobolds.
Honestly they only need to print:
Relentless Kobolds
Creature - Kobold
A deck can have any number of cards named ~.

I find it so weird that an Serra Angel is not vigilant. Honestly with 7 cost they might have added that on top and the card would still be borderline unplayable.
Ah I mentioned earlier leaks are not the issue for creators, because you have to still check out if the card said creator got is new or a leak. So you visit said creator either way. In other words these creators get the same amount of exposure, regardless if the card they got was leaked or not.
Arguably sites who aggregate this spoiler information are much more problematic for said creators since they allow you to not visit the creator at all.
Also the leaks were in German so the information what the English card name and text on the card is brings an extra layer of information, which is also of interest for more entrenched player.
Honestly after the Walking Dead disaster I can't help that this leak feels like karmic justice. Still a theft and therefore wrong and the thief should face justice, but I can't really feel bad for Wizards at the moment.
I also don't think the creators loose much since they people will essentially still watch them to check if they get a new card or not. So they do not loose in exposure for whatever it is worth. Arguably any site which aggregates these information does more damage then the current leaks.
What I find fascinating is that these are essentially a new set of ante cards. I remember back in the day I play with you but not for Ante, nowadays will be I play with you but not with the Walking Dead.
Well the silver bordered cards already showed this use of a different colored border and I honestly think it looks much better then being white all around.
I mean Chandra's Magmutt can target planeswalker, so does Shock. I think there is no targeting restriction for common cards to not include planeswalker and arrest is common since mirrodin.
Therefore I really don't get why this wasn't reprinted.

And you could get Kobold tribal running.
Divinity counter are from Kamigawa and make stuff indestructible there

Nesting Dragon and Ob Nixilis, the Fallen would both be in color and on theme.
In a Commander deck this could come into play untapped, but in a draft set it needs to be tapped, or at least rare.
I would bet that Kasmina makes an appearance in Strixhaven.
