Universally the best one drop to be able to play those prowl costs ahead of prickly boggart i'd say.

The flavor text is funny, because fairies ruined peoples' sh!t every day of the week back when they were in limited. F^cking bitterblossom...

It's a 1/1 flyer with a barely disadvantageous disadvantage. It can't block, but how often would you use it to block, anyway? It's basically just there to get you your prowl costs, though, being one of the faster drops.

Oddly, though, I never used him for that. I waited things out and used Infiltrator il-Kor. Thankfully, all (if I remember right...) prowl cards are part rogue.

It's a lazy Cloud Sprite.

Obvious set up for a second turn Noggin Whack.

This card is barely decent, but cards like this are never amazing on their own. This card is a tool and is always used when running a theme. Rogues and black weenies are some obvious homes for this card. This card is meant to attack each turn if able, and would gladly take along any boost from artifacts or enchantments.

obviously really good for prowl mechanic decks. if this hits, turn two makes your opponent weep.

Strictly worse than tokens created from Bitterblossom

Great faerie, it's one of the only 1-drops that work both with Spellstutter Sprite and with Oona's Blackguard (the other being Mothdust Changeling). Sneeze at his 1-dropness all you want, until he comes as a 3/3 to stab you in the face.
