I selected Hydrolatice and Random Generator gave me Silent Specter. Okay, okay. I know black doesn't grant flying that often (if at all), but it doesn't sound that weird does it? I could have easily given this intimidate, but I've had enough of giving black creatures swampwalk or intimidate. Besides, Silent Specter already has flying, and that's what specters do...
I'll save Alex the hassle. Searched Gatherer for "gains flying" and black creatures. Only Krovikan Elementalist came up positive, and he still requires blue mana to activate.
While it is somewhat outside what black normally does, if you make the flavour "This is a Specter UEOT!" clearly enough, I think gaining flying is allowable.
Fair enough. I slipped in the line "and becomes a black Specter" in there. I'd change the name, but I kind of like it, and there isn't enough room for flavor text. I'm pretty sure whatever the card art is would help a great deal.
