Kill A Thing with Wings

@ DarthParallax

Pretty Much That Is What This Does

If Green is so terrible with dispatching Flyers, how does the colorpie justify this card? You know, other than the whole 'we gotta give Green a way to deal with Flyers' sorta thing.

Fliers, youre going down.

@Eternal_Blue
Green isn't supposed to be bad at killing flyers. Even in Alpha, green had Hurricane, Giant Spider, and Web. Since then, green received tons of flyer hate. If anything, green is best at stopping flyers.

I approve.

Apparently This Is The Talk In a Similar Manner To Master_Of_Etherium Page. Poor Plummet, No-One I know Uses It. Ever.

First game with this in my mono-green ramp deck: I was pummeling my opponent, he was down to about 6 health and I only had one card left in my hand. He had a few walls, but needed another creature to help defend and kill mine. So he taps everything and puts a huge sphinx down with trample artifact. The only card I have in my hand is Plummet, and kill his last hope instantly. The only Plummet I have in my entire deck. Lol. Win next turn. He actually had a counter spell card but had tapped all his land.

Sometimes you just have the luck! ;D

Green destroy with epic art.

I main this deck even in multi-colored decks. It is that solid of a card. Green removal at it's finest.

Too situational. Really.

@marmaris:
No, it's not. It's really not. Black's the best at removing creatures, regardless of whether or not they have flying. For the same reason you'd pick Naturalize over Shatter every time. And Giant Spider isn't removal or good. Azure Drake is strictly better, for the aforementioned reason, and it's a load of jank.

@Eternal_Blue:
Basically, it's a circular reasoning issue.

Green doesn't get flying.
Not having flying means green doesn't have an answer to flying.
So we give green an answer to flying.
But it breaks the color pie (dispatching creatures makes it another Pyroblast).
So we decide by fiat green hates flying, which justifies...

Akroma, Angel of Fury and Akroma's Memorial? Cute.

You leap at this in limited. Basically all the bombs you'll be afraid of will fly anyway.

@Lotsofpoopy: You often say you're a pro. (You didn't this time.) However, you don't know how to spell "its".

Not a bad idea to maindeck, catches people off guard.

@Bay_Falconer
Azure Drake is not strictly better then Giant Spider, for 3 reasons.
1) Different colors.
2) Different creature types.
3) One dies to plummet type cards, the other does not.

Strictly better: Better in all cases and all instances. If you had an extremely low budget deck, yeah you would probably pick the drake over the spider, unless your vorthoss. But there might be some situations were the spider would have done better. Does that warrant picking the spider over the drake? Of course not, but its not strictly better.

You could safely say that Lightning Bolt is strictly better then Shock, even though there might be some rare examples of why not. But technically, its very rare to have something that's the true definition of strictly better in magic.

Green Doom Blade with iconic drawback: doesn't hit ground guys. See Cloudthresher.

The problem with people comparing this to Doom Blade or Giant Spider to Azure Drake is that you have to look at the color as a whole. Yes Doom Blade is better than this card, yes Giant Spider may be better than Azure Drake, but you have to look at it within the realms of green, black, and blue. It's why Disenchant is bitched about but Naturalize is fine, and why Doomblade beats out Plummet because Green is about removing flying, removing buffs, and then when you have a fair ground vs ground fight, you trample all over them with superior creatures :)

Sincerely a Green player/lover.

Always a great sideboard card. Especially if your deck sports green and lacks fliers.

Hell, this card saved me from a Geist of Saint Traft's angel.
