I'd like to imagine the bird is screaming "SURPRISE, MOTHERF----R!" as it's flashed in to kill your opponent's creature.

Flash plus Monstrosity is actually pretty dangerous. You can flash this out in your opponent's turn 6 and then immediately monsterize it on your turn. Obviously the dream is to kill something with the drop, but even without doing that the sudden surprise beater from nowhere can be well worth the mana.

This card is sooooo beautiful. In both the art and the abilities. It's got soooo many synergistic abilities crammed into one card, much like the ludicrous Winged Coatl from Alara Reborn. Heck, the card even scales better than the coatl, so you get some economy of size bonuses going on here. For 2 more mana you get +2/+2 and 5GU:Monstrosity 3. At worst this is a 5 mana instant speed kill spell. At best it goes monstrous and starts smashing your opponents face for 6 in the air each turn. Such a powerhouse. I was always happy whenever it came up in my G/U ramp into fatties prerelease deck.

In both function and art it has lost the elegance of Winged Coatl to become a monstrosity.

Winged Coatl on 'roids, but with a far less appealing casting cost (the main draw of the coatl was that it was pretty much a 3-mana kill spell in unusual colors).

That said, it's still some gorgeous Green
