I only have this one flyer in blue common. I decided to make it pretty aggressive in a heavy-handed attempt to make sure blue has a contribution to limited. So, snapping drake. I didn't envision any drakes in library plane (plus snapping drake is too boring a name [don't all drakes snap? It's what carnivores with giant jaws do]) so I went with a whole hell of a lot of birds instead.
I love the name. More than one blue flyer is normal, though.
I don't know why I thought I could get away with only one blue flyer at common. It's true that I wanted to limit the amount of evasion in this set so as to make more room for the late game (I'm assuming that too much evasion shortens the late game. Is that right?). But I figure blue needs at least two flyers at common. Incidentally, gatherer says that zendikar has more blue flyers at common than non-flyers!
I suppose I'll make one of my defenders a flyer. That doesn't really help, since it's not evasion, but it's the best I can do. I'll also make a jump variant. But this is one of the flaws that marks this set as the work of a beginner shrug.
