@mrredhatter- no. 1st off, you have to pay WW each turn for Wild Aesthir to have 1 more power and 1 less toughness than this, which sets you back. And dealing 2 damage first strike is much better than 1 first strike and 1 regular. If Thunder Spirit and Skyhunter Skirmisher were to attack each other, Thunder Spirit would win.

The poster child of why the Reserved List needs reform...This card would be perfect for modern standard, but can't be reprinted due to the Reserved List...Also mrredhunter, I would play this before the two cards you listed...

Looking at cards in alphabetical order in this set, It's about time we see something good for something so small with more than one ability and no drawbacks

considering the playability of cards in its era on average, it was a step above the vast majority of options for what it cost to play.

@Gomorrah: 2 first strike damage is not better than 1 first strike and 1 regular, it is just different and better for some situations. In outright combat, with no modifiers, the 2 power may be better, but with equipments or anything boosting power, the double-striker wins, hand down.

Whoa whoa whoa, this was in Legends?! The same set as Wood Elemental? Did R&D have their heads up their asses or something?

This would make a great Core Set common for Limited if it wasn't on the reserve list. The reserve list sucks.

one of the few old creatures that wasn't ruined by powercreep.. it might've gotten weaker by a notch or two but is still solid even by today's standards..

A very solid card, also has cool watership down flavor text. 4/5, but 5/5 because it was printed in legends.
