Crappy Card, decent artwork, but i think it is the flavor text that makes it anything to me.

I am pretty sure that this card´s flavor text has inspired the Avatar movie...

7 mana to kill an x/2 flyer? Ew, no.

A strong contender for worst card in the game.

Worse than a lot of things, including -- it just occurred to me -- Burning Palm Efreet.
...and Goblin Skycutter.
This probably would have been safe to print at 1 mana. (see Elvish Skysweeper)

This is Green Shock Troops, -1/-0, +2Green to activation, damage can only hit flying creatures.
Applying the same transformation to similar cards:
Ember Hauler: GreenGreen, 1/2, 3Green, Sac: 2 damage to target creature with flying.
Mogg Fanatic: Green, 0/1; 2Green, Sac: 1 damage to target creature with flying.
Cinder Elemental: 3Green, 1/2, Variable Colorless2GreenGreen, Tap, Sac: X damage to target creature with flying.

The lowest rated card on Gatherer, and it doesn't disappoint. Truly horrible.

overcosted, underpowered, and nearly useless and overcosted ability.

if you have this card, it makes better firewood than it is playing. thats how *** it is.

No way is this card supposed to be rated below Wood Elemental, Break Open, or Filthy Cur. I'd play this before any of those.

He's kind of like the Elvish Pathcutter of Mirrodin.
