Not a fan of this. The 2/1 makes me scared to attack with it (even with flying), which gives me less of a chance to mess with Inspired.

Ohhh - so there are zombie Sirens that get inspired . . . Good to know Wizards, good to know.
This is just one more example of how flavorfuly discordant sirens are in theros and especially this set- just a body to stick any old mechanic.

All I want to do is give her the Siren Song Lyre.

Going straight in my Zombie Mill EDH, for several reasons:
1) Flying zombies are super rare. There are enough zombie lords out there to make this guy a legitimate attacking force, and that in turn enables the Inspired mechanic.
2) Cheap for EDH, but a powerful mechanic, particularly with the discard. Can easily be gotten out on turn 2 most times with EDH ramp, and the sudden swing in card advantage could be enough to tip early game balance, or at least get your opponents to waste a valuable removal on it.
3) Awesome combos within its colours. Namely, Intruder Alarm. Cryptic Gateway with that in zombie tribal is just a joke. Add in other cards like Hair-strung Koto and Phenax, God of Deception, and you've got a synergy that works with both tapping AND untapping your creatures, for the perfect mill combinations.
Sure another toughness would have been awesome, but it's still really good for its cost. D... (see all)

I wonder if this could maybe find a place in a modern b/u zombie tribal deck? I realize that with the umpteen-bazillion zombie lords running around those deck types might already be pretty saturated with 3-drops, but then again, its a FLYING ZOMBIE. So maybe it'll find a home….

Funnily enough one of the best inspired creatures in the set.
She is definitely solid although being 3 mana for that body probably means that she wont see much use in constructed.

Need some fun ways to get this chick tapped?
Mothdust changeling allows you to safely get her tapped the very turn she comes out, as does Bramblesnap - both at instant speed, too!
My FAVORITE card with her though is Hidden Strings. If I've put her out since last turn and my opponent can't block flying, play it (tap the siren, untap the siren), cipher strings to your siren, swing at your enemy for two, play hidden strings again (untap the siren, tap her again), and then after their turn ends, she untaps to discard another card - 3 mill and 3 discard, with 2 more each turn if they don't do anything about it.
And yah, having Phenax is just icing at that point.

Possible untested potential with this one. Flying is not a big thing in Standard right now, aside from a few threats like Nightveil Specter, Desecration Demon, and Stormbreath Dragon. Since this shares a color with Hero's Downfall, it should be able to get through defenses fairly regularly.
This has possibly the most abusive Inspired ability in the set, if you can use it to full effect.

Peasant deck competitive in standard? Maybe relatively competitive.
