Minor note - Covetous Dragon isn't a member of the cycle with the others, Volcanic Dragon is. I think the card would be fine as-is with the name change to Volcanic Hatchling and not break symmetry.

So the rest were all part of the same cycle? I was not aware. But I did consider Volcanic Dragon for a while anyway.

Well I thought so - specifically I thought you were referencing all the 4MM 4/4 Dragons from Mirage - but Alabaster Dragon was in Weatherlight, the one from Mirage was Pearl Dragon.

Honestly if it's three from that cycle and two that are off, that's much better than only one being off.

...carry on, of course. In terms of flavor Covetous Hatchling's the better name imho as long as you're not 1:1 matching that cycle.

Outlast works pretty well for the Combine!

Is it intent that you only have to pay the upkeep once to keep it around? It feels like too low a threshold. Though it also looks progressively worse the longer you want to be able to attack with it.

I like Signet maybe being a type to provide an artifact twist on Gates matter for a Ravnica set. Could these ones replicate the Fetid Heath cycle's fixing ability instead of just being original signets but less-than?

I could see that. I recall considering it, but erring on the side of simplicity. Splashing double-black from mono-white is an application that might be relevant in a Ravnica-style environment.

Herald is cool, but what does "later" mean? Is it castable any time it's exiled or do you have to wait until your next turn similar to foretell?

First it should be noted that the card design and reminder text predate foretell. The actual concept of this was IIRC cycling + adventure; what if you had a mechanic like cycling, but you still get to cast the spell afterwards.

In that context "later" means "any time after this ability finishes resolving that you could play this card"/"for as long as this card remains exiled". It is entirely possible that waiting until your next turn like with foretell would be preferable, and I could see it as better flavor from a top-down perspective.

From the bottom-up perspective this was designed from though, I just thought it would be neat to be able to just use it like kicker into a cantrip if you have the spare mana.
