The poster child of why the Reserved List needs reform...This card would be perfect for modern standard, but can't be reprinted due to the Reserved List...Also mrredhunter, I would play this before the two cards you listed...

@mrredhatter- no. 1st off, you have to pay WW each turn for Wild Aesthir to have 1 more power and 1 less toughness than this, which sets you back. And dealing 2 damage first strike is much better than 1 first strike and 1 regular. If Thunder Spirit and Skyhunter Skirmisher were to attack each other, Thunder Spirit would win.

Looking at cards in alphabetical order in this set, It's about time we see something good for something so small with more than one ability and no drawbacks

considering the playability of cards in its era on average, it was a step above the vast majority of options for what it cost to play.

Excellent card. Flying and First Strike: doesn't get much better for the cost.

This would make a great Core Set common for Limited if it wasn't on the reserve list. The reserve list sucks.

I love this card if only because it quotes Watership Down.
