Use this on your opponents creatures, then use Plummet.
Neat trick for M14 Limited. 2GU for "Destroy target creature" is pretty swell. Since they're both commons, too, you might be able to pick up a couple of each.

So much blue flying in m14. Blue is gonna be flying over everything. Better pack some windstorms...

Guess it's alright in limited, if you got enough non-flying creatures (in blue) and this doesn't take up a removal slot or something. In constructed though it's not playable.

If fighting is sure to result in victory, then you must fight!

A quote from Sun Tzu? I bet when he wrote that he didn't think of troops that fly...

I played Skygames a couple times last pre-release, and it won me almost all the games it appeared. This is a more versatile version, and definitely a card to be wary of in limited.

This is actually pretty cool for a common. It's quite weak, but it's interesting.

To anyone who thinks this is weak, you're not a limited player. This is actually pretty amazing- I opened it at pre-release, and it did nothing but good for me. Not only can anything on your board fly, but you can target a creature with Illusionary Armor to pop the armor off of it.
Really awesome card.

So, in my prerelease, I played g/u and this is what I opened.
Combos with Windreader Sphinx. At the very worst, give your opponent's creatures flying to discourage attacking.

I would like to see a version of this! Enchantment : Target creature gains flying until end of turn. : Target creature loses flying until end of turn.
With this I can cast Earthquake and save my creatures while killing my opponent's ones. It would work very well with Hammerfist Giant, too...! Or maybe make it costs and cut the colorless mana from the activation costs...!

You got to love how Sun-Tzu was venerated as this master tactician, when most of what he said was just common sense. "I couldn't imagine why having high-ground could be an advantage!"
I bet there's some side-history most of us don't know where he wrote The Art of War as a condescending statement to an emperor or general or something. "Oh, you want my advice about how to win battles? Okay... well, did you know fooling your opponent is a good idea? I didn't think you knew that..."

this card makes me so incredibly happy, you guys have no idea. i've been waiting since shadowmoor to abuse raking canopy without donate-ing my levitation. toss in a hunted troll, scattershot archer, and plummet, and youve got yourself a deck. i've got myself a deck even. not tourny worth, but incredibly inexpensive and fun. and *** faeries.

1U: Target creature is depicted on the back of a flying horse until end of turn.

At last the cycle is complete. Portal had 4 cards with flavor text from the great Sun-Tzu, one of each color but missing blue. I think that's a crying shame because if I had to make Sun-tzu only one color it would be blue.
