Good at getting a quick peck in and blocking when the time comes.

I saw someone describe this as the Baneslayer Angel of 2 mana birds...sounds about right to me. Still, now Storm Crow.

This isn't strictly better than Storm Crow. What if you have an Island and not a Plains? Seems like Storm Crow would be better than Courier Hawk in that case.

"Strictly better" means better under any given circumstance, color considerations are a part of that.

I'm pretty sure this was made so above the curve because it required white mana in a block where a bunch of other creatures had flexible dual-color mana costs and still had good abilities. Mourning Thrull comes to mind.

Bah! I always equip my Storm Crow with Umbral Mantle and it just wins. This Hawk is useless! ;-)

Mark Poole is back! "Mark Poole never left... and I'm beginning to think his mind is no longer in 'mint' condition." But seriously, Mark Poole is one of the best artists of all time, I'm surprised he did a card so new.

Destroys Zephyr Falcon. I'm amazed at how much better it is. Better than Storm Crow... well, in a white/blue Stasis deck Courier Hawk is better than ZF and SC since it doesn't use up early Stasis fuel prior to Forsaken City or Eon Hub.

Storm Crow is so much better than this. Seriously, when they made this card, they had to give it an extra ability to TRY to keep it on par. It FAILED.

Doesn't even begin to compare to Storm Crow.

It's funny how this is rated worse than Storm Crow.

Ugh, this is so much worse than Chimney Imp I can't even describe it.

It's far worse than Storm Crow, since it can't be pitched to Force of Will. Newer players generally aren't able to see these things, but it's ok

Puts on sunglasses.
