They're crazy powerful considering that they're birds. I mean, Mystic Bird? Spirit Bird? Mana Bird? Why not things like Roc, Garuda, Siris, Gryphon (okay it's just semibird), and the like? Well, it all seemed fairly arbitrary in Prime, so Adjective Bird will suffice.

Mystic, Spirit and Mana always harkened to the native american lore that permeates North American culture. Permenates? Something like that.

But what if you went along the lines of what was done for Light, that way flavour wouldn't be an issue? Make them Adjective Demons, like Murderous Demon (Gremlin) and Pyromaniacal Demon (Goblin)? They'd fit perfectly flavour-wise, but I don't think it'd really fit.

I... think you're being a little excessive here >.>
The cards seem perfectly in flavor as they are. Goblins have been known through out MANY types of fantasy to blow themselves up. Two examples coming to mind immediately would be Age of Wonders and Magic the Gathering.
As for Gremlins, the only abilities related to it in the beginning were being spawned by a pit. That doesn't seem odd at all to me.

Since Legend of Zelda got porn.

Since the time of Rome.

Since the fantasy industrial revolution. They have it on tap, though prices have been going up due to the recent questionable war with Kel'sor.

This post really has nothing to do with balance, but was ALOT of fun. I guess I can get on to serious stuff now *sigh*

How is that broken? I mean... that combo works with pretty much any card in existance. Maybe I'm misreading something.

I would happily support it being free. Emphatically support it, even.
