Hilarious flavor text.
A recent post on MaRo's blog (http://markrosewater.tumblr.com/post/135864586433/do-you-think-ostrich-and-possibly-penguin) reminded me of this design. I don't agree with the reluctance towards depicting flightless birds in Magic. Bronzebeak Moa slipped through the cracks somehow. Anyway, I don't think ratites are innately "silly" creature choices.
I'm a big fan of Moas and flightless Birds are not a problem if they are recognizable as such - and ostriches and penguins are certainly well-known non-fliers.
What's up with the heavily colored cost at common though?
I did a cycle of heavilyt-colored costed cards where the card does one something the one color can do, but with a drawback from the other color. In This card's case, the drawback is meant to be that it can only destroy an attacking or blocking creature, a drawback to the two black mana, where black can normally destroy creatures without restriction.
