A decent flier, here's the curve of Alpha blue Flying.dec

4: this card
5: Air Elemental
6: Mahamoti Djinn

This is a decent 4-drop...however like most Alpha creatures the power level for creatures recently has obsoleted this card...

I wouldn't say it's totally obsoleted, today we have Snapping Drake, at common but with toughness 2. This would still be a solid high pick in limited if it was in M2010. Imagining M2010 with Shock instead of Lightning Bolt would send it over the top (O.K., perhaps I'm exaggerating a bit here).

Cool art and flavor text by Edgar Allen Poe? This wins.

Funny how blue's four-drop used to be better in all respects than red's (this totally trumps Hill Giant)

A creature not to be underestimated. I love the art and the flavor text. I like this artwork more than the newer ones.

A 3/3 flyer will never be useless.
