A solid two-drop. White weenie flavor, and cool art. I don't know why it's rated so low. Because it's boring? Especially flavor-wise, I guess. But still. Better than it's low 2.something rating.

Not that I don't love him, but he could've been a griffin so I could play him with Griffin Rider.

Okay, sure, but can it clear the skies of Ponyville in ten seconds flat?

I agree with Lash_of_Dragonbreath, this definitely should have been a Griffin. Pegasus has never really been a well-supported tribe...hell, it'd be better for a lot of decks if it were a "bird horse."

The hugest problem with this card, is it makes Pegasuses just look unimpressive, and yet if THIS is a PEGASUS, then what in the hell are all these Birds and Bats doing being so good?!
Pegasus, the Winged Horse should be like, one of the coolest (doesn't have to be the Spike-best) creatures with Flying there are. Nah, I'm not saying it needs Trample and Haste, or Hexproof, or something nuts like that- but it *does need to compare well to uncommon Griffins and Angels.
In short- Creature Type-Pegasus probably just shouldn't exist at common, if we live in a world with 'normal' flying things like Birds and Bats and Bees for crying out loud. Bees! There are Bumblebee cards better than Stormfront Pegasus! (Like Hornet Sting. Which also arguably shouldn't exist.)
Look, Wizards, I like fantasy flavor as much as the next guy, but this sorta looks to me like this card:
Aragorn, Son of Arathorn 4WWW
Creature- Human with a sword
4/4
Problems: is not Legendary. costs too much mana. makes me wonder what kind of awful horrible monsters any random pack of Kird Apes must be that 2 or 3 of them could totally beat up Aragorn.
I want you guys to seriously consider what Role creature type- Pegasus is filling in your game.
I'll be glad to see them come back when you have something good. Right now, your trying too hard and spreading Design space too thin making Griffins and Pegasuses at the same time. No more Pegasuses, but ESPECIALLY no more CRAPPY Pegasuses.

Wonderful art. Fun in draft.

This card is just nuts in Limited formats. 2 points of evasive power for 2 mana (only one of which has to be a certain color) will help you win a lot of games. I like Welkin Tern and Vampire Interloper for the same reasons, and this guy can still block anything in a pinch. 4.5/5 from me.
(No one gets the reference here? I really am shocked, I expected a lot of comments).

It's a fine card! Easy to kill, but I usually don't block with it, and if they can't block it, they'll take 2 every turn :)

@Ptolemis: I'm not sure, but Pegasus Charger certainly can =D

Solid card in draft. I even have a copy in my cube.
The ability to start swinging over the heads of their blockers for points of damage every turn doesn't look too powerful, but in practice it is really nice. All in all it is a very balanced card, and it accomplishes its goal admirably.
