Underrated so far. This is a great permanent for just two mana, especially in Avacyn, a set full of huge flyers that would otherwise kill your attackers.
In multi colour decks (say green-white) you can pack in lots of flyers that now cannot be easily opposed once you play this. This pretty much won us games in sealed deck.
I'm even tempted to sideboard it so next time someone uses a load of lingering souls to make a chumping wall of weenies my attackers will go straight through.

Howard said it all. Amazing card and very underrated. As said, the number of huge fliers in this set means Green might have problems getting their big beasties in for combat damage.
Match it up with some Angels, Demons, Dragons or whatever fliers you want and your opponent has no way to block you. Match it with some Blue and it'd be worth giving your opponent's creatures flying just so they can't block.

Eh? only 3.3/5 rating?
People, have you played a game when you have a few little creatures getting munched up by their tough fliers like Serra Angel?
I know why it isn't that high (3.9/5 may be reasonable), but I think this has amazing potential in EDH.

This card is absolutely phenomenal. Basically, it turns flying creatures into creatures that cannot be blocked except for by creatures with reach.
An unexpected surprise against my opponent who heavily drafted fliers. Also makes my fliers a little bit better. However, overall it doesn't really do much.

Think about it... without abilities like reach... this practically makes all your flying creatures unblockable. And there arent that many constructed-worthy creatures with reach anyway

so for you legacy players would this not fit into enchantress moat plust this equals death if they have defenders
This card let me swing for lethal even with Gisela out in draft... 4.5

What? No!
Just went through all the faf of making an account so I could comment on my favourite card in the innistrad block.
It basically reads 'All your flying creatures are now unblockable' - no one out of casual plays reach.
I have won so many games with this and armoured ascension. A must in all flying decks, and my first addition to the avacyn intro angel deck.
5/5

Leave it to green to hate on flying so much that now they don't want to even be touched by em.
In all seriousness, this card is excellent, especially when the person you play against the most loves his fliers.... 5/5

this is really great for sideboard... for me who owns a human aggro deck with no fliers and lives in an area with flying tokenators as meta, this is really useful for those pesky spirits... if i can't block/defend against them, i might as well go through them and smash the player... 5/5 for me..

@theoneandonlyjoseph "combine with Silhana Ledgewalker for a hexproof, unblockable creature."
So for only 4 mana and 2 cards you can have an invisible stalker in mono-green... Seems bad
Even though there aren't a whole lot of good green flyers, this is splashable. Even if you were running monogreen with this it would be worth putting in cards like Unyaro Bees just so they could be unblockable.
