If it was a dragon I wouldn't say anything, but this card should be Blue

No. Flavorwise, Rocs are more red birds then they are any other color. Although 2011 has a white Roc.

@Kryptnyt: They're pretty much just synonyms.

that would be a Rukh.
Which is much less cool then Roc.
@tiggurix; the fact that they are synonymous does not make them equal.

No idea how Roc's wandered out of red and into white... maybe white already has other birds? Personally, it's annoyed me that red has been stripped of nearly all its interesting creature types over the years: Hydras, Rocs, Trolls, and Gargoyles come to mind. Orcs and Dwarves died out... there's more to red than Goblins, Giants, and Dragons, I'd like to think.

Oh, as for this card, it is technically out of the color pie, but still reasonable, IMHO.
