The art is so badass it stopped me from noticing that it was just a cloud elemental for a second.

Underrated.
Limited.
Also: art.

Pretty cool art, useful in limited (although not as good as if AVR wasn't drafted/sealed alone -- zombie synergy takes a big hit in AVR), very good flavor text.

It's a cloud elemental with better creature types.

Solid limited flier with nice art. All that there is to say on this card.

Just from a flavour perspective, wouldn't a zombie rotting away mid-flight have a lower toughness, I mean it seems pretty frail.

My opponent played Grounded on my Scrapskin to remove its flying ability, but since its second stated ability is ... can only block creatures with flying., I argued unsuccessfully that he should still be able to block creatures with flying.

I'm not insisting that I'm right, I'm just looking for other opinions (that support mine ;)).

Target creature you control gets +1/+1 until the end of turn and fights target creature with flying you don't control.

@ Pulsari - no, if your Scrapskin lost flying, it wouldn't be able to block fliers. Fliers can only be blocked by fliers and stuff with reach. If Grounded gets played on Scrapskin, then it can't block period.

Flying zombies are always good!
