Wait... the Simic symbol means this guy is in Ravnica, right? I wonder what those spires in the lower corner are. They don't look very Ravnican to me.

I am usually not partial to the kinds of Simic Decks that work in EDH. Basically the point of the color combination seems to be to reject Vorthos in favor of Spike.
But, I would play this card in a Riku-Colored Deck, and maybe a Karador one as well. :) Don't know whether I'd play it in Rafiq or not.
I'm not questioning the card's power- I'd definitely play it in Legacy, and maybe Vintage (I don't know if it gets played there or not.) I just have a very weird sense of what 'fits theme' or not. :P I will always play it when I'm 'in it to win it', but when winning is a second priority, it might get cut.

This new illustration is VASTLY inferior to the old one. Perhaps even more so than in the case of the new v.s. the old Skyknight Legionnaire. The old ilustration showed a creature that was decidedly weird and artificial, while the creature in this illustration just looks like a drake with manta "wings".

Excellent uncommon, even if you aren't running pure Simic colors. Only complaint is a widely heard one: flavor doesn't match. Beast? Looks like a drake/dragon.
I would have loved to see art like this guy swooping down all dramatically to attack the smug looking onlookers atop the privileged position tower. And now I can't help but think of tower defense.

When this thing attacks you, you know you just got out valued.
