I meant to comment on this card, but most of my posts here are via Quick Reply.
This piece of Equipment is pretty ridiculous with Bitterblossom, Goblin Assault, etc.

I feel like there's a "that's what she said" joke in there somewhere.

It says to name a "creature card". Since there are no cards named "Faerie" or "Goblin", this would not work.

Chargewinder Drake: It seems pretty well balanced, but isn't the most exciting creature. That said, it's also pretty well costed for an uncommon, and I could see it working well in a Mirrodin-block deck. 7/10

Quote from Illusionist

On an unrelated note, I think Islandhome was a wonderful drawback ability. Trouble is people don't understand drawback abilities they just look at them and say: "This card would be so much better if it didn't have such and such an ability." When really that ability is what is allowing the card to be as big or powerful or cheap or whatever else as it is. I drool to think of the creature that would have Islandhome today.

I agree. Having drawbacks on a spell is nice sometimes, because it can allow you to make it more powerful. Part of the issue with miracle is that you only really tend to notice the upside if you're playing against it. A player might draw a miracle too early to use it, or on their second+ card, or just have it in their hand. Yes, if you're running Hallelujah, even if you completely whiff on card draw spells, you will hit plenty of good miracles (or maybe because you whiff on draw spells, since there isn't much left besides land).

Regarding Islandhome, they have occasionally had similar creatures, but since they've all been at common, it hasn't been as noticeable. I did think that Chained Throatseeker was a good homage to Sea Serpent though. Exactly the same stats, except it has infect and "infecthome" minus the sacrifice clause.
