Should be good it Limited. Probably not worth it for constructed, but it's a good answer to Gameslayer Angel.

I can see this making it as a 1-2 of in a budget control deck. But yeah, mostly just limited card.

Would you guys stop with the horrable nick names for Baneslayer Angel please.
K' thanks for being less annoying on an annoying subject.

It's quite a decent Blue beater in limited that can also get fliers out of the way.

This card seems overcosted to me....

Seems like mostly an upgrade to Air Elemental, though it's unfortunate they brought him into Bolt range. Probably Blue's best non-rare flyer in Limited, and it does keep even Baneslayer down.

great in limited, especially since flyers is a popular deck. 4.5/5

The ability is very, very useful, if costly to keep up. But still, where has my Djinn of Wishes gone?!

Real Decent Flier With A Super Easy Splash In Draft It Will Win Games Once Removal Is Used Up No Doubt Jake 1991 Is A Noob But At Least Most Of You Hit It On The Dot Plus AMAZING ART

Great limited card. A powerful flier, with a very useful ability. The fact that there are a few more powerful fliers means little if they can't attack or block, and attaching a 4 power body to that tap down ability means that you can soar through the sky and win in a few turns if things go your way.

On constructed: Lightning Bolt is just too heavily run.
On limited: Easy first-pick and getting it later than second pick should tell you to go blue. Anybody who says that this is "decent" or "should be good in limited" either needs to be more assertive or doesn't know limited. 4-power flyers are GOOD, people!!

Isn't the Servant cycle totally kickass? I love how diverse the elementals are now, as opposed to how they were in Alpha.

Hmm seems a little expensive, I think they should have swapped its P/T and made its ability 1 cheaper

I think it's ability is pretty good, could save you from allot of big beefy fliers. Never underestimate free unlimited tap no matter what the cost is.

Mirko Vosk, Mind Drinker is not amused about Air Servant. Beaten to death or parked up in the detention room by an uncommon...

This is actually unexpectedly good in EDH, where you have a lot of mana to use his ability with. Nobody wants to use removal on it but everyone has to. Haha.

That could just be the case in our flier-heavy meta-game though.
