I'm a bit miffed on how powerful this ability is. The general rule of thumb with cards like Daru Cavalier seems to be that you take a 2.25 star creature, add {1} , then add the mechanic. But does that change when you have the potential to throw 10 of the card in your deck? Really, it's only constructed I need to worry about, and this doesn't look like a problem. It is possible, however, that Squadron Hawk has informed us that, in an environment with good equipment, that the usual rules don't apply.

Heh. Fun. This would get really irritating around a deck trying to make a bunch of 2/2s :P

Shuffling around to make room.

Was 1/3, but I had to admit to myself that this card could, in theory, be better than Squadron Hawk (okay, you needed to be playing the right colors. But +0/+2 is a decent trade for flying.) Changed to 0/4, so that they could just represent a pile of walls. I might have to switch this to 0/3 later (or 1/2), but I sure hope I don't.
