This guy is extremely overpowered. He alone can kill a Storm Crow. That's just ridiculous.

A bird that eats drakes? Nice.

@TomTomat: What do you want? The new flavor text outright SAYS it preys on other birds. Why should a lowly corvid be exempt? (Well, besides corvids being the resident geniuses of the avian world...)

Who needs to block if you're trying to get through with exalted?
Two mana Flyers in Limited are always nice, specially ones with +2 power.

The Terninator is back.
Seriously though, this guy isn't bad in limited. He's fragile, but he's more than likely to get some damage through if he comes down early. If you're running aggro he's definitely worth including. More control oriented decks will probably want to pass on him in favor of more Divinations or Unsummons.

I don't get the low score of this card. It's a 2/1 flying for 2 in blue for 2cmc. Magic 2012 introduced an agressive/weenie side of blue. Although this isn't an illusion, it fits well into that kind of deck, which I'm a fan of. I give it a 4/5

Pretty damn good bird if you ask me. Can be a menace to some players.

How does something with 1 toughness prey on anything?

I have seen a Storm Crow fly. I have seen a Storm Crow in battle. I have seen a Storm Crow tear apart anything in its path, be it Chimney Imps or the Elder Dragon Legend himself. I can say without any doubt that you, sir, are no Storm Crow.

Why would you be blocking with a two-power flier, anyway? This guy is for attacking.
Why the hate? A 2 drop for a 2/1 with Flying isn't bad at all! I will never understand why people love Storm Crow but not this guy. Life is so cruel.

I gave it 3 stars for its pure playability in casual/limited. Still waiting for an actual blue flying bear. A further 2 stars for of all the "turn" puns this little birdie enabled. Honestly it deserves the 5 I gave it just for all the bad puns I made with this cute little card. This a card I will be loath to accept functional reprints of.

This guy is just unbelieveable. My legacy deck constantly plays turn 1 Hypnotic Siren to turn 2 Welkin Tern. If I manage to pull a turn 3 Vendilion Clique it's pretty much game two and doesn't afraid of anything. I also run Vaporkin for consistent draws. 5 stars from me. Caw!
