I can see myself drafting this guy as high as a second or third pick.

How original white. A heroic card that gives +1/+1 counters? Never seen dat before.

This seems fantastic for limited, maybe constructed with the right support? We'll have to wait and see.

Wingsteed riders are great. These guys'll be great. Grab 'em in draft, kick faces in.

Hey look, it's another creature that has no place anywhere but in Limited--and even then, only if you can figure out what spells you'd cast on it that won't kill it. Heroic is like that though, isn't it? All about Limited--definitely not for Constructed unless you look past Standard and literally pour through the 10,000+ cards looking for good enablers. Still, I'm not sure all the hassle is worth it. Heroic has no place in Modern and I'd be very surprised if it could get past mono-blue in Pauper.

Those wings make him look like a Hellenic faerie.

Heroic counters with built-in evasion? It may not be game-changing, but why are people complaining about this? This is VERY usable in limited.

Limited nightmare, 5/5 for that alone.

Can't shake the thought that he reminds me of a male Deathless Angel.

Apart from Planar Chaos esqe shenanigans, this is the closest we'll get to a male angel.

Cheap +1/+1 heroic guy with built-in evasion? That's quite nice really. Especially if you take in account that there are some 3 (or lower) cost bestow out there on the same set (Nyxborn Shieldmate, Everflame Eidolon, Nyxborn Rollicker), so you can easily curve with this guy and bestowing him with one of these enchants the turn after.

I got 2nd place in a sealed tournament using 2 of these and some combat tricks. They grow into some serious threats in limited. Grab them when you can, they are good.

This is probably the closest we will ever get to a male Angel in Magic.

NickDay is so right about this, the closest thing to a male angel.
