nail on the head, cockatrices were chosen because it is supposed to be a mildly humorous card, as fate eggs themselves tend to inherently be funny. if there were a bunny card i would have probably sided with that instead of the kfc.
It's a good idea, but the fact that it only works when used along with one other card means that it will never make it into the game.
uh, where the heck did you get that idea from? there is no such rule.
and the reason 10% was picked, so far, is that if there are 5 kfcs in play (and this isnt terribly difficult to accomplish with mitosis after a few turns, also in
) then each fate nest has a 50% chance to produce a fate egg, and that would become a rather effective production line of eggs to play with. and changing it to also allow dragons wouldnt terribly help the card, then it could work in a mono-time deck, which isnt the intent. if there were more birds in the game i would just set it to for each bird rather than specifically the cockatrice, the only bird i can think of currently in game.
