Alright, "Welcome Home" isn't the mechanic name, it's the name of the sorcery. The mechanic is Adventure.
And now everyone is confused about the mechanic all over again, lol
Noble is a new creature type, and one that's been long coming.
Okay, there goes my theory that you sacrifice the creature as part of casting the sorcery. I think that also debunks the graveyard theory. The flavor and implied synergy between Lovestruck Beast and Heart's Desire tells me that the Adventure is just something you can cast while the creature is on the battlefield. Maybe you can only cast it once to differentiate it from a normal activated ability?
Edit: Oh, here's an idea. Maybe you can cast the Adventure from your hand like a normal sorcery, or you can cast it while the creature is on the battlefield.
Edit 2: Okay, even better idea. It's effectively like a Fuse split card. You can cast the creature, you can cast the Adventure, or you can cast both.

My guess here is that in addition to paying the Adventure cost, you have to discard a card too to activate the Adventure. I do want clarification on if this is an activated ability or just counted as a spell (and would therefore have all the same upsides and downsides of casting a spell).
Yeah, it kinda sucks that the rules for Adventure aren't obvious on sight. I wonder if there'll be reminder text on the standard-art versions of these cards?
I feel like the idea of it acting like Fuse makes sense, but at that point couldn't they just bring back fuse? I guess with creatures that kinda justifies a new thing. Hard to know.
Also, I like the idea that food tokens read sac: gain 2 life or sac: put a +1 counter on a creature. Flavour wise, it's like eating it.
Edit: also I bet Adventures are counted as historic spells
oh and i hope they bring back sagas

I can't imagine the effects are ever repeatable or you'd get a harem of beauties for the beast, or a whole extended family reunion of bears coming home to find goldylocks. I don't think it's from the graveyard because the beast's design seems to be that it can threaten to meet its own attacking requirement if it needs to. It's either a kicker during cast or yet another monstrous variant one off activation from the field and neither of those is interesting enough to warrant a new keyword let alone a new card layout. So what's the catch gonna be?
Funny that goldylocks dies if she eats the porridge aka destroys a food token, or that if it sees constructed play the lovestruck beast will probably rarely be lovestruck by a human and more often by a goblin or a llanowar elf or whatever. You've broken through my gruff exterior and shown me how to love, saproling token.

ELD - Gilded Goose; Golden Egg

So we were on the right track with life gain, but it has Clue's activation cost and thus gains more life.
Neat Birds of Paradise callback with the goose, though it's kind of bothering me that the goose's mana ability doesn't cost (1) to match up with the egg.
Fuck, the flavour of this set is awesome.
Lots of good flavor. This land cycle looks interesting.
Also, a lot of these look great for pauper. Damn
Fuse combines the effects of two possible spells into a single spell. You can't really fuse a creature and a sorcery, that doesn't work within the rules.
Not without changing the rules on Fuse you can't. Better to just make a new mechanic, especially since you need a new card frame design anyway.
Witch's Cottage is cool. Can't wait to see the blue one where it enters to scry 2 and the red one which will probably make a non-flying creature not be able to block. I'm also calling the names Mermaid's Cove and Dragon's Cave.
My prediction for Adventure: If you cast it as a sorcery and it isn't countered, it goes back to your hand. If you cast it as a creature, that's it, it's now a creature. Adventure means nothing once it's on the battlefield. My thinking is casting the sorcery and THEN the creature tells the story. Casting just the creature allows you to have an earlier creature on the battlefield.

I see an Impulse that can get through Teferi, I can appreciate that, It looks a little like Ancestral Vision if you squint hard and imagine it is.
ELD - Faerie Vandal; Maraleaf Pixie; Eye Collector; Tome Raider; Rankle, Master of Pranks

Tweet chain revealing faeries.
So faeries are in BUG. Appropriate.
Rankle is interesting. I do think Magic could use more symmetrical effects. Note that the choose wording means 0, 1, 2, or 3 choices.

ELD - Midnight Clock
ELD - Order of Midnight; Foulmire Knight; Syr Konrad, the Grim; Smitten Swordmaster
So adventure cards are both cards, just in a strange order.
Konrad is a damn mess
What we understand is you can either cast the spell then the creature later, or just cast the creature if you prefer

It could also just say "whenever a creature enters or leaves a graveyard", it also sounds like sweet favor
It seems like they wanted "dies" specifically on there, for newer players I guess.
He seems pretty good for an uncommon, and I think he'll see play in Commander.
I feel like you want to go with small pieces of candy. Skittles, M&M's, or Starburst.
They figured it out. "What if we have multiple artists draw like Seb McKinnon?"
ELD - Embereth Shieldbreaker
ELD - Tournament Grounds; The Circle of Loyalty; Wintermoor Commander; Fireborn Knight

This gives insight into those knight designs.
* Adventures represent the creatures going out on adventures. Then you can cast them as they come back.
* Every color has an order of knights. They have a legendary creature at both rare and uncommon; Syr Konrad is the uncommon black knight.
* Knights are focused in red, white, and black. The white and black pair needed a common finisher, hence Smitten Swordmaster
Ashodin intensifies
The Round Table
Interesting design, with it only gaining toughness. The flavor plays out well with the commander staying back as you build up forces and only joining the fight if needed.
Devotion intensifies
How the fuck are you supposed to glance at this card and think "Artifact", and not "Enchantment"?
