Finally, an option over Snapping Drake, you can bet I'll take this big guy any day. Honestly the possibility of a blue 4/4 flier with a converted mana cost of 4 that doesn't happen to die the next turn if you don't do something is just great, and it can be combo'd with cards that allow you to get get extra lands in one turn. For sheer usefulness alone I'm inclined to give it a 4/5, I'm totally overreacting but hell, it a possible 4/4 blue flier with mana cost of 4 that doesn't die right next turn, and that is WIN.

Definitely a must in a landfall deck. A flyer is not as easy to block as a non-flyer, so you stand a decent chance to fly in unblocked. I see this as a 6/6 flyer on average in a landfall deck. The only downside is it's 2 toughness before landfall. It can be vulerable to direct damage before you can apply the landfall effect.

Amazing in ZZZ, if you draft blue you have a good chance at seeing at least 2 or 3 of these guys.

I've been able to up this guy up to an 18/18 with the help of Adventuring Gear and Ruin Ghost. Love it in my landfall deck.

Fantastic card to use with Primal Surge. Get this guy, put in a bunch of lands and something to give it haste, swing for boatloads.

Striking artwork. Excellent contrast of colors. I'm going to take a look at more Austin Hsu cards now.

The more flying eels there are in Magic, the happier I am.
