I really enjoyed this card back when Faeries were huge. Very intimidating, and is often fodder for a cryptic command or boomerang since they cant deal with it once it hits the board. Along with Scattershot Archer, i think this card pretty much can stop Faeries in their tracks.

Very good card in mono green with a lot of big fatties or not so big fatties that dont have air defense

Fairies or no, I love this card! Makes playing a green deck worth doing, it's the ultimate flying defense! Aint enough reach/flying in green otherwise... Unless you run a set of Neurok Hoversail...
Raking Canapy is fun!! XD

Oh its great, I mean, it definitely put some smug fae players in their place during Lorwyn, but I kept playing it afterward, went up against an all flyer deck, that got completely shut down, fact of the matter is if it flies and it can take 4 damage and still be swinging, then its worth my attention. (5/5)

I run two of these cards in my mono-green treefolk deck, and it's amazing how fast my opponent will stop attacking with their fliers. In my opinion, they're more useful than Cloudcrown Oaks.

More creatures can survive this than you think, but its still great none the less, especially if you were to have 4.

Free Needle Storms for the rest of the game? Yes, thanks.
Sadly, most fairies wouldn't let this (or just about anything else you sideboard in) resolve. Help didn't come until that glorious day they gave us Volcanic Fallout.

Now for obvious combo application... how do I force my opponent's attacking creatures into the air at instant speed?
Er... Cobbled wings is an equipment, so it's neither instant speed nor equipable on opponents creatures.

@Heartbreaker: Rankodd is right. It's off color, but a decent alternative is Jump.

This is fast becoming an EDH favourite of mine - it deals with all but the strongest fliers (the remaining ones of which you can kill with a spider) and completely nullifies Kaalia of the Vast and Zur the Enchanter. If you're packing tutors, it's well worth a slot.
The thing is, this wasn't nearly enough to stop faeries, which had access to Thoughtseize, counterspells and especially Cryptic Command. It was an aggro deck with so much card advantage and control that puts most other decks to shame. Five-Colored Control eventually did, kind of, as they printed Cruel Ultimatum. Now look back at how ridiculous this card looked on paper.
