I like the art, I like hexproof, I wish this had another toughness, but I'll live. Can't get enough bird soldiers!

This was originally a Shards of Alara art commision.

Glad to see the Aven are still learning some new tricks to this day.

I love the lorwyn-esque art style...
Not great in constructed, but powerful enough to be a real threat in limited.
4/5

There's no owl in 2012, leaving me clueless as to how many licks it takes to get to the center of a Tootsie-pop. Damn.

Any Flyer with Hexproof is welcome in my deck. There's so much you can do with a creature that can't be targeted by your enemy.

Aw yeah boy. This was quite literally the card I needed for my Aven theme deck. And the fact that this card is a common is just too perfect. I have nothing but good things to say about this guy.

Awesome flavour with the Hexproof. It's not that he's enchanted or anything, he's just too damn fast.

And that art. Hot diggity.

That art was commisioned for Conflux. As was Turn to Frog.

At first I thought for a 2/2 was overcosted, but after using him in drafts, I am blown away. Great recipient for auras like Dark Favor or Trollhide.

Good in Limited. Not so much elsewhere.

"And what a high flying maneuver there from the top rope by Aven Fleetwing!"

This is such an awesome card, and they did it right. Wind Drake with Hexproof for one additional blue mana, "yes please!" In draft this was a powerhouse when drafting Firebreathing. I really miss this card, maybe they will reprint this in the future. Fingers crossed.

Not enough for four mana. 2/2 is meh.

Good night, sweet Aven.

May limited players be forever reminiscent of your awesome power.

At least it dies to Pyroclasm, right guys?

Guys?

Playable if it was 3/2...sigh, avens screwed once more.

As it is, 2.5 seems generous for limited functionality. Both senses of limited.

@Flavor text: So, no one has mentioned this... Elvish archers are quite capable of killing this, actually.
