Besides the obvious overcost, the flavor is way messed up.
Why is this not a bird in addition to its other creature types? I realize the captain provides the name of the card, but the falcon is the focus of the art and the obvious source of the flying and power/toughness.

I wouldn't make it a Bird, but it has become a customary thing for Wizards to grant mounted warriors the "knight" type.

This replaced Serra Angel on 5th Edition…! Why, WotC? Why?

5 mana for a 2/2 with three abilities is right, actually.
