Strictly better than Sea Eagle...No, seriously! Both in 8th Edition, no less.

Strictly below average, just like my girl Phage the Untouchable! Yay mediocrity!

Grand Comrade Storm Crow descending, life is given meaning.
Grand Comrade Storm Crow departing, you ought to throw yourself before his limousine in a show of appreciation for all that Grand Comrade Storm Crow has done for you. You ungrateful swine.

@Equinox Which Is Weird That A Crow Is Even Close To Being As Strong As An Eagle And There Both Facing Oceanic Weather

They may look full of innocence, but that is because they feast upon it.

A decent creature for 2 CMC, good in limited, but not much else...

I hit "random card" and got Storm Crow. Even the gatherer recognizes the best card in all of M:TG!
T1: Black Lotus - Island - TWO STORM CROWS. People scoop EVERY TIME that happens!! As far as I know, that's the best play in Magic.

Man I remember a guy attacked me with one of these, then he flung it at me with fling, I took 2 damage! well needless to say I was so traumatized by the experience of it I just quit the game, ran home and hid under my bed rocking back and forth clutching a crucifix.

To think I saw a real Storm Crow, not one of those collector edition ones, or the gold boardered ones from the Tourny decks, but the real thing! if I ever get over my fear I'll ask him if he'll trade me one for my two beta moxes.....probably not though....only an idiot would make that deal....and we all know idiots don't use Storm Crows riiight?

Can somebody.... PLEASE explain to me what the deal about this card is? I don't get it. I'm a new-ish player. Why is this simple creature so.... PRAISED! I mean, really, let's praise a card with 1 more Toughness than, and without the fetch ability of, Squadron Hawk, which is extremely powerful. You get up to 3 1/1 Flying creatures into your hand on turn two. This guy. Turn two drop. 1/2 Flying. Please, explain. PLEASE, explain. I need to know why this gard is so over-praised for a two mana drop.

This includes the other comment mentioning the following:

Turn 1: Black Lotus, Island, two Storm Crow drops, opponent surrenders/scoops.

WHAT on EARTH caused this? I mean, really, I have one of these from Portal. Does it make sense to me how a 1/2 Flying for 1U is so powerful? No. Honestly. Please, explain. I don't care about a bad comment. Again, semi-new player.

Note: I got the Portal one from a friend. Just FYI.

There's no point in trying to explain Storm Crow to people who don't grok Storm Crow.

It is what it is.

5/5

People should remember Storm Crow's secret abilities:
1) Shroud -- Opponents are too struck by awe to cast a spell on the majestic Storm Crow; Storm Crow has no flaws, so there is no point for you to cast a spell on it.
2) Fear -- Only creatures without hearts or minds can withstand Storm Crow's presence.
3) When Storm Crow deals damage to a player, that player loses the game -- Any player would naturally forfeit the after getting hit by Storm Crow once, for he cannot bear to suffer his wrath again. Surrender is the only sane option.

I am not lying, I actually traded a JvC Chandra Nalaar for a foil one of these today! (I had 5 chandras) I built a deck around it, 59 islands and this.

EDIT: Okay who are the asshats rating down every comment?

@ mrhardy12 tho I will be eaten alive for saying this I will spill the beans. Storm Crow is the BEST!!! (It's just a joke/fun banter, friend, no need to panic). Not even sure how it started. Although, I believe these used to be very commonly discarded for Force of WIll which is a VERY powerful card! So in that sense you could say it was good, lol.

@mrhardy12

Your friend just gave you one? Usually people have to kill (Stalin for example) to get one of these.


Not to mention:
Charles Manson
Lee Harvey Oswald
Govrillo Princep (he killed Franz Ferdinand, which caused WWI!)
Hitler (That's WWII)
and finally the WMD's the USA were trying to find in IRAQ turned out to be Saddam stockpiling storm crows!!

Thats one tough crow. Can champ out a raging goblin all day, then fly over the opponents defenses to peck them to death.
