I really wish they'd clean up the flying templating, for this card in particular and have "Your zombies fly".
I think it's much better to say it has flying, because "flying" is a technical keyword/term for MtG. MtG is a highly technical game, this is to avoid confusion and so we understand some things on a technical level rather than a grammatical level. But I do understand why you want it worded that way for it is easy to read (grammatically speaking) and more natural.
A generation of woke, entitled players probably made this rumor. I don't really own that much RL, only really few. As much as I want to get my hands on some RL cards which sadly I can't, I understand the existence and importance of the RL. I think everyone should understand its existence and importance too. If you can't come to terms with its existence maybe don't get into the hobby or stop being a <SNIP!>.
I wouldn't go criticizing the artwork. There are a lot of artists whose skills revolve around hyper-realistic imagery to the point it's hard to differentiate between what's art and what's not. A lot of artists on TikTok demonstrate that and it's believable majority of the time.
Interesting choice to put into the archive. Not sure what impact it will have on historic but anything is possible.

Criticized or not, the artist's job is to communicate visually ~ so if it's not appreciated or if most don't find the art appealing, that's a fail. "Viewers" don't need a college degree for them to appreciate art. As a fine arts grad myself, I appreciate the effort and technique, but there's something about it that's incomplete/off. It's a no for me.
While mirrorpool can be instant speed and can do more, I still wouldn't say strictly worse. What if the user's deck doesn't have any way to produce or has a very unreliable way to be able to produce (C)?
Seems oddly restrictive by not just reading, 'Whenever you use a snow mana to cast a creature spell' or whatever the phrasing would be. I don't think that would be too powerful.
Maybe they don't want it to interact with colorless artifact creatures.
