Storm Crow has brought some friends.

Time to make a crow tribal deck.

Little known fact: Storm crow is leading the pack of Crows, they cut him out because the awsomeness would have broke the meta game worse than Jace TMS.

Nah, they're ALL Storm Crows. And they're here to murder you.

Let's see: a 4/4 for 5 flier is already good in Limited. Now tack on the fact that it can filter through your deck and drop either fatties or flashback cards in the graveyard for you to abuse? Sign me up!

I hope this card gets played in constructed, so I can stop it with Mana Leak and say "that was only an attempted murder."

For Blue, this is as good as a flyer as Serra Angel. One of my faves for a limited pick.

Dies to Flash Grenade. To make it worse, your opponent gets like 300 pesetas per bird.

Storm Crow descending, winter unending.
Murder of Crows descending.... imminent Ice Age?

It's a good thing that this card isn't actually a murder of STORM crows, or old Emrakul would no longer be the biggest baddest creature in Magic. Just picture it: you get together about 25 storm crows, and what do you have? A 25/50 flying -- that's why I call a murder!

Nice to see Air Elemental finally getting a blue-themed upgrade. Good card with a cool name.

As I promised, I had drafted Murder of Crows in Innistrad. In that same pack, there was a Liliana of the Veil and a Bloodline Keeper. I hatedrafted black after that pack and took gold with U/B Crows.

I think the creature type should be "murder."

Perhaps the most solid Blue card in Innistrad (that isn't rare), Murder of Crows is a great Draftable creature.

It's solid 4/4 body is highly versatile both for defending and attacking, and giving it flying greatly improves its usefulness. Stitching on the draw/discard effect is just the icing on this cake.

The amount of times that I have seen this card be cast in limited and the owner went on to lose this game is close to 0. This card is the absolute nuts, and is my pick for the best uncommon in the set.

If your opponent counters this... was it an attempted murder?

Pretty much strictly better than Air Elemental. Bird tribal is a thing you know :)

(Also, would people please stop using "then" instead of "than"? They're two different words. No reason to corrupt the language /rant)

The Mythic Rare version of this Uncommon is called Murder of Storm Crows

Did you know that a group of crows is actually called a "Murder"? Don't believe me? Look it up. You learn something new everyday. Great card and flavor btw.

"From here on, it's instinctual
Even straight roads meander
Every piece contains a map of, it all, it all
Out of line and indivisible
A crow left of the murder
Every piece contains a map of, it all, it all"

"It's called a murder, Marge. A murder of crows."
