An excellent pauper card. It costs zero or actually generates mana with Karoo lands. Plus, it is a faerie. And it cycles late game when you don't want a 1/1 flyer. Quite an excellent card.

Best card ever.
Turn 1: Island.
Turn 2: Island. Tap one island for High Tide. Play Cloud of Faeries, untap your two lands. Tap them for four mana. Play Helm of Awakening for 2. Play Snap for 1, targeting Faeries. Untap your lands and tap them for 5 floating mana. Play Faeries for 1, untapping lands and tapping for 8 floating mana total in mana pool.
THEN:
Future Sight
Sensei's Divining Tops
= Draw your whole deck and get a very large storm count, or infinite mana through use of the cards in it. Then brainfreeze or braingeyser.
OR:
Cowardice
Lightning Greaves
=Infinite storm count and infinite mana
OR:
Cloudstone Curio
Another Cloud of Faeries (or just any other cheap creature)
= Infinite storm count and infinite mana
OR:
Equilibrium
Another Cloud of Faeries (or just any other cheap creature)
= Infinite storm count and infinite mana
So many other ways for a second turn kill, so little time.

Kind of a bad omen for what would eventually happen with faeries.

No comments on the art? I always thought it was funny how the artist went to great lengths to censor their bodies instead of just putting clothes on em or something.

All these Urza block guys should've just untapped basic lands. You could still enchant your lands and what-not to gain mana from playing them but insane mana combos would be a lot harder to pull off. Of course Palinchron would need some tweeking still.

Definitely the best card ever. Karoo lands are the best friends of these faeries.
I love how my opponents almost never seem to recognize the danger in which they are, when I have this card in play with my Oona EDH deck. It´s one of these rather unpopular, hidden treasure cards, which noone really pays attention to. But have this in play with Dimir Aqueduct, for example, or even better with a precious Lotus Vale, and you are only one step away from infinite mana.

At least we got to learn that untapping lands is definitely not a very good idea when talking card design.

Sometimes Wotc makes a card that can do so much, and yet so little. Cycling, Flying and the Land trick, tacked onto a popular creature type make this a fun card to play.
You DO remember playing for fun, right?

Convieniently generates 6 extra mana without costing anything with just one Snap and 2 double lands. Or the double lands and Equilibrium with two Clouds of Faeries for infinite mana.
