i dont think the eggs that come from pegasus are the kind that hatch.

i think i am going to use the term avian to cover all birds, in case more get added to the game.

sounds good.

updated the avian specification

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.

OldTrees has said that any card that only has use alongside a small number of cards is too limited to work in-game. This card was ONLY useful alongside Cockatrice.

Looks like you've fixed it though, so it's fine.

last i checked oldtrees wasnt zanz, and zanz is the only one who decides what makes it into the game.  kinda tired of people talking about oldtrees like hes god, hes a good guy and a good card person, but the buck doesnt stop with him.

Avian doesn't just mean bird, it can include any flying creature. Also, what if bats are added to the game? Bats don't lay eggs.

Rejecting feedback on principle is hardly the way to improve. You're being quite mature here.

I know what the definition of the word is. The adjective avian can be applied to any living, flying thing; "the dragon was an avian death machine."

ill keep this simple- you are wrong. stop.

Definitely a fun card! too bad there is already an "airborne" passive ability...

[moomoose]

why would the airborne passive be an issue?

[dragonsdemesne]

Seems cool to me; it's similar to boneyard/graveyard in that it makes creatures, but it's harder to control (the randomness) and potentially stronger. (but slower, due to fate egg activation)  I think it's fairly reasonable as is.

Also, I have one question about the mechanics of the card; I'll use an example.

Suppose I have 3 avians.  Are my chances of getting a fate egg:
1) 30% to get 1 fate egg.  (3 x 10%)
2) 10% to get 1 fate egg, checked 3 times.  (i.e. I might get 0,1,2, or 3 fate eggs, the 3 happening 1/1000 of the time in this case, and being too lazy to calculate the other odds)
