1mana monsters

Skeleton can be powerful in multiples early on, but it's risky. If your deck has a large number of Skeletons, you're more likely to get the early mana boost, but after a few turns, you'll still be drawing Skeletons and they'll be next to useless, unable to stand up to the monsters that are out at that point. If you have a smaller number, you're unlikely to get the big early mana boost. Unless somebody makes or has made an overpowered deck using Skeleton in its current form, I say leave it as is.

Dropping the sac to 1 would make the potential net gain equal to that of what a Skull already is, but would take two turns and be fragile. You might be able to get in a few attacks during the first few turns, but once your opponent has creatures, they're almost cards, taking two turns for a net gain of one mana. In other words, it would be like playing slow Mana Skulls where the only advantage is that you could do some damage in the first few turns if you wait on saccing them, and the huge disadvantage of becoming almost useless afterwards. Dropping it to zero would mean that you always get a net gain of only one mana, no matter what. If they become horrible after the first few turns, they could at least be better than Magic Skulls during those turns.

As for Mubble Woods, I was referring to the proposed change rather than the current version of Mubble, and was unaware that tokens couldn't be returned to hand (I was assuming they would just disappear afterwards, like in Magic). My mistake.

And the argument for Fairy staying as is instead of getting some other ability was

The reason why Skeleton and Boomboxen are decent early sac cards is because of their attack. Are we planning on increasing Fairy's stats? By how much?
