In case of that almost impossible scenario where mono blue aggro somehow dominates...

So, Grizzly Bears are just plain outplayed by this thing. 4 abilities, 3 of which are almost always usable? This cries push so hard that it's painful. As others have said this is an obvious counter to Delver, but way past the time that Delver was viable in Standard.

"Hey guys, sorry I'm late! So you have a Delver problem? Well don't you worry about him, because I came pac- No? You don't? Well... what about Cloudfin Raptor? No? ... Crap."

Color hate? Really? I thought we talked about this, Wizards.
But really, fantastic card. I need some.

What were Wizards thinking? It needs If a spell or ability an opponent controls would cause you to discard it, instead put Skylasher onto the battlefield like Loxodon Smiter LOL

@whoiam: Just because this isn't seen in competitive decks doesn't mean it's not powercreep. A few years back, a creature like this would have been inconceivable.

This card is unbelievably overlooked. All it takes is one pro to build a deck for this thing and it will shoot up in price just like Nightveil Specter, and that's only used because it has 3 mana symbols for devotion.
5/5 This card is ridiculous.

4 abilities on a 2/2; I can understand it seems overwhelming but let's not cry power-creep. In most cases it's an Ashcoat Bear with Reach; which is hardly the best thing to throw in a deck. The rest is blue hate; which because blue is so powerful requires multiple abilities just to get protection to work. Even the Flash is there because of blue.
If anything this should be a wake-up call to players that blue is *that good.* When you see 4 abilities on this card; I see a Green White Knight that requires 4 abilities to do the same job as Knight's 2; because it's against blue.

Niv-Mizzet: 'Nothing shall stop me in my quest to seek the answer to the Maze! Nothing, you hear me?! NOTH-'
the next day...
'So Niv, still not reached that maze yet? Must've been something pretty powerful to stop you...'
'Yes. Powerful. TERRIFYING. I don't want to talk about it. Shut up.'

Am I the only one that thinks something should give so that this thing can have first strike? I mean, come on - that artwork SCREAMS first strike.
