Compared to other 3-cost red flying creatures (even now), this little guy still stands up in casual. Back in his day, he was awesome.

This guy's good in red, even if you totally ignore his toughness boost. a 2/2 flier for 3CMC is good in red, hands-down. Right now red pays 3 mana for vanilla 1/2 fliers. You would think they'd give us 2/1s at least.

One of the first two rares I opened in my first starter deck and way more useful than the other, Aladdin's Lamp.

Can't believe you guys only rated Granite Gargoyle 3/5. It's incredibly powerful & versatile for the cost. In the early days, probably red's best creature of all, at least until WotC started making all those annoying "haste" red creatures that are impossible to defend against. (Hey, I enjoyed Ball Lightning when it first came out, but when every creature attacks instantly, it gets pretty frustrating What are you gonna do, never attack so you can block your opponent's random haste-creatures?).

@Sooku: yeah, that is kind of weird. I guess "Author, Work" format fits with the majority of cards better than "Work by Author" format, but it seems kind of a pointless change.

I'll give a mox to whoever can say "Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar" correctly 10 times fast. Lol.

The next Un-Set should establish Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar as a Planeswalker. Then his signature move can be:
Also, for people who want a Mox, 'Asmoranomardicadaistinaculdacar' has the same number of syllables as 'Supercalafragilisticexpialadocious'. I discovered this trying to see how I could make saying the name easier.
Forget Squab, I'LL give you a Mox if you re-write the Mary Poppins song with Magic lyrics and using his name and put it on YouTube. Granted I'm not rich- the best I can do is the FTV Mox Diamond. But still.
Hmm, I should find all the time spiral connections and point them out for people who weren't around at the time...(granted, I wasn't around for this one, but I spend a lot of time on gatherer :p)

The pump effect seems more like a white ability than red, but alas these were the early days of magic, where the color wheel had a bit of identity crisis.
