I imagine it's not bad in Limited.

For blue, three damage evasion is pretty solid for 3 mana. Most blue creatures are weak; they end up being chump blockers. So I really don't feel bad when I chump block with this.

I personally like this. It's a nice damage dealing drake at common status.

I liked it more than Wind Drake. Very solid, very underrated.

One of the better commons in the set.

Most of the things that kill it at 1 toughness would also have killed it at 2 toughness anyway (and some would have done the job at 3), so it doesn't really lose much there.

A body like that wasn't built for blocking to begin with, so I'm not too worried about that drawback, either.

Basically, a 3-power, 3-mana flyer, with marginally harmful drawbacks.

So, Wizards is telling us that some kind of stupid Tree Monkey can use reach to attack this thing while it's 20,000 feet in the air?
