2/1 for
is already uncommon worthy but that second side with its whole Squadron Hawk vibe is just nasty. There's no way this is a common.
The costing is/was a typo.
Legion Conquistador is a pretty recent example of the Squadron Hawk phenomena, and it’s utterly untouched in draft.
Besides this, being such a small creature without evasion, it’s possible someone swarms with it in a draft, but since the search trigger is on death rather than on ETB, it’s still slower to gather dudes than the Conquistador. If you have one of these guys in hand and no guaranteed way to see it die, it doesn’t accelerate you at all.
That said, it’s FANTASTIC with Light Brigade.
Love the flavor.
This would now use daybound/nightbound tech, I suppose.
