That being said, it isn't horrible. It's a lategame finisher if you have the creatures and open blue mana to support it. That being said, since 90% of blue's aggro is already on wings, this guy begs one of blue's enemies to play along; mostly green, who can get you all that blue mana to help kick it in the first place.

Another useless uncommon from Worldwake.

pretty solid in limited, but can stand on its own two legs (wings?) in casual constructed.

That does not look like the starship voyager...

been running this in two-headed dragon with a ground based green beatdown partner, works surprisingly well when you have enough lands to drop him and give all your buddies landlubbers a lift, as long as the opposing team has no flying or reach.

What do you mean "We didn't see a single colored 3/3 flying four-drop without drawbacks until Chronozoa"
You pointed out Phantom Monster in the sentence right before you said that.
Which has been around since Alpha.
Anyway, this card should always be considered when building a deck that has few fliers and includes blue.

This card is funny in a way... Ages ago, we had Phantom Monster. Then, we were told Phantom Monster was "too good" (because it's an efficient blue flyer? Because all the top decks were playing it?), and we were stuck with 10+ years of wimpy cousins to Phantom Monsters (Snapping Drake, etc.) clogging up boosters.
Then, this guy just subtly flies on by, totally blowing Phantom Monster out of the water. Took them long enough!
The oddest part: I bet they go back to printing wimpy Phantom Monster cousins after this guy sails out of Standard.

Great, great card. I'm a Worldwake collector, and I didn't get ANY of these until my 25 booster. What are the odds of that?

Sure, it falls to a Lightning Bolt. But this is the best 4 mana flier since Phantom Monster!
Plus I'm partial to drakes.:)

@DonRoyale: This isn't that comparable to Eldrazi Monument. Compare it to Snapping Drake instead. It's even an improved version of Phantom Monster. We didn't see a single colored 3/3 flying four-drop without drawbacks until Chronozoa, and this one even comes with handy Multikicker! Nothing to complain about that guy. Sure, it's still not game-breaking, but it's at least a good pick in draft.
Edit (since 2/1/2010): @Eved: I meant "We didn't see a single colored 3/3 flying four-drop without drawbacks in Standard until Chronozoa" Since Phantom Monster's last print was over a decade ago in Fifth Edition. I thought that would be clear since i also talked about Snapping Drake.

Well, unfortunately this card can only be played during your main phase, and the effect ends at the end of turn. So your ally cant swing with his flying creatures, unless you could cast this guy on his turn.
And also, its 2 Headed Giant :O

In 2 headed Giant you take your turn as a team,You untap, you do upkeep, you draw, and you do main phase, and combat, at the same time as your team mate so you can do it for your team mate.

I like its eyebrows. I'd feel bad about kicking it though. I'm sure it gets enough of a hard time from people mocking its eyebrows.
