No leprechauns, no problem. Run Gaddock Teeg.
Teague Pronunciation: TEEG is a common Irish name that was originally a slur against the Roman Catholics in Northern Ireland. St. Patrick was a religious figure. You need access to cards with holy themes to do St. Patrick's day any justice.
Gaddock Teeg is a kithkin and kithkin are a wee folk.
Also, it's originally a feast day and Lenten restrictions are lifted on St. Patrick's day so include any cards featuring eating or drinking.
I think they'd slip 4 color legends in a 5 color precon. There always seems to be extra alternative legends. I'd also be interested in a colorless commander precon but it seems unlikely. It's not a lot of design space to make a hot seller without some heady reprints.
If they did a colorless and a 5 color would there be others? Or would be a dual deck style faceoff?

The part of megamorph that worries me most isn't the name,unoriginality, or irreverent impact on gameplay but the notion that they (wotc) thinks that any of these things are acceptable in the future. Things are reoccurring too frequently (revisiting planes, more slivers that make less than the last time, many weak planeswalkers we don't care for, etc)
I'm worried that this will be a new trend. Instead of expanding on something incomplete (say arcane subtype) in a set with new "Elders" they rehashed a beaten horse and we have to just accept it.
In the next set I don't want to see supercycling, flashbacker, rerebound, madnessest, stillhellbent, nonbasiclandfall, delve/dredgedeeper, replicateoutofcontrol, thresholdextra, unfading, suspendsuspreme, buybackwithcheese, etc
It sounds absurd that it's even a concern but that's what we all would have said 6 months ago about megamorph.
There is a lot of design space we haven't seen (exile matters, lots of interactions with the stack that aren't counters, chooses vs targets, fabricating contraptions, etc)
Why megamorph? It adds so very little and creates a president for lazy design in the future.

I have to replace so many cards. In so many decks.
I don't like any of these changes.
