It's a-me, Mario! I'm-a here with my friends, from Dragonball-Z!
...I have to admit, Master of Etherium's comment made me laugh -- possibly his only actually funny comment.
The use of 'intercept' for 'block' was actually a pretty good idea, since the word 'intercept' matches the mechanics a little better. It really did help new players avoid the "my creature attacks your creature" misconception. Wizards should have switched over comprehensively while they had the chance; using 'intercept' only in the Starter level product, then promptly dropping it, was a bad call.
I second Ideatog - this art style's really enjoyable, and Foglio was one of the best. The art lately (especially in the Innistrad block) is gorgeous and evocative and wonderful, but it's been a while since the art on a card made me grin like this one does.

Strictly worse than tormented soul for 1 drops with evasion.

Technically not strictly worse than Flying Men because this is a pirate. Which really doesn't change much, but it's something.
