i like seeing more white landfall, but i don't care for landfall which doesn't stack. it really doesn't benefit a landfall deck and kind of defeats the purpose of lots of landfall

I think this card is unrated I liked to drop this on the turn after steppe lynx then follow up with groundswell next turn or vines of the vastwoond for the protection


Landfall is right under madness for my favorite mechanics

I would of been more happy if Landfall atleast gave it +1/+1 as well as flying its a very average card that will see play only in limited

A 2/2 for 2 is good, a 2/2 flyer (without a multicolor casting cost) for 2 is excellent. A 2/2 for 2 which sometimes has flying is in between, for this guy the activation is easy enough, and would happen automaticly often enough, that this is great.

>>> A 2/2 for 2 is good,
A 2/2 for 2 is useless Runcelaw Bear crap.

>>> a 2/2 flyer (without a multicolor casting cost) for 2 is excellent.
It's decend, but not great.

This card sucks, because it isn't reliable, you can't use it (almost) on your opponent's turn. And since you can't abuse it with multiple lands per turn thanks to fetchlands, this card is just another 'unnecessary waste' card.

Before you put this in your deck, think to yourself "isnøt there something better that could be in this card's place?"

crap card. ya its type is some what relevant, but there are plenty of 2/2 flyers for 2 with out the restriction of this guy. Admittedly there usually WW instead of 1W, but i usually run mono anyway.

this is underated. Two drop for a 2/2 potential flyer. People's standards for decent cards are 1 mana for 1/1 and then an ability. This card has exactly that

I think this card is a tad underrated on this site. It's a bear that can potentially, and very likely will, fly. That's pretty damn good. Not constructed worthy but better than a 2.5

This isn't the best common 2-drop white flyer by any stretch of the imagination -- Stormfront Pegasus and Leonin Skyhunter are far more consistent. But I tossed this guy in my Pauper Cube anyway. Why? Because I needed more 2-drops in my white section, and this little guy can still lay down some evasive beats.

Can't disagree with this more. This is one of the best cards you can drop on turn two in a griffin tribal. Enchant with Griffin Guide for theme and permanent flying, also works great with Griffin Rider

Hey, I am not saying its constructed worthy, but its a Glory Seeker with a positive ability. We should encourage limited cards to be stronger, not cry that they aren't as powerful as the mythic rares.

An anyways, this has offensive flying if you hit all your land drops, and you can splash it. I could see someone rocking this in a budget weenie deck.

Adorable and a griffin for less than 3-4 mana. They need to print more like this so griffin tribal can get some love.

@ Sironos:

Before you put this in your deck, think to yourself: "Is there anything more adorable that could be in this card's place?" To which the answer is unequivocally no.
