Amazing card once it's out. Excellent with Boon Reflection and/or Cradle of Vitality.

This is some ugly art. Looks like a fat airborne albino chicken, not a bird of prey. Now if we only knew the secret mix of spices KFC uses...

Yeah, the art could be better. It sure don't look like the righteous, raging shaker of the heavens as described in the flavor text.

Compare against Victory's Herald

Pros:
Bigger body
Easier casting cost (no WWW)
Static ability so you get to use it right away

Cons:
1 CMC more
Attacking creatures don't get life link
Is sad if you get Condemn'd

@LiXinjian: I disagree. I think it looks like a huge white condor.
