If the High Fae Noble is an indication of where monster design is going, in general, I like it.

The noble has, in addition to multiattack and its associated actions, an interesting recharge power and two reactions (it can take three per round), and access to spellcasting. The special attack imposes a condition (stunned) and CR works without relying on the spellcasting. Spellcasting there is to fill out its abilities. For me, it is a good marriage of 4e monster design with 5e monster design.

The specter of Nights Reaping Scythe is pretty brutal. I don't think there are many monsters that inflict exhaustion:

Wait. Does this mean there will be an Eldraine book?

thats what I was going to ask too, would love to see the Courts of Eldraine and the Throne quest turned into a campaign setting

Thus geels a little less like there will be, unfortunately: thefree supplements for Spelljammer and Dragonlance were much smaller. This feels like the entire tie-in for Eldraine, to allow a DM to craft that feel. Which is too bad, I would have liked the Adventure building apparatus of Theros or Ravnica for eldraine juat as much as New Mosnters.

I wonder if this will lead to Eldraine becoming dmsguild legal if this product is "official"?

might be testing the waters too and decide based on sales

Unless this sells like crazy, I'd assume it means we're not getting a book, unfortunately.

Planeahift already is, so it might already be?

I really would have loved fairy tale trope Adventure building tables to roll, and Dyaon Logos maps...
