Soooo good. Too bad they nerfed Shadowmage Infiltrator and errata'd Fear to Intimidate, now we have to spend one more mana and go mono blue for decent evasion to get that damage to connect.

Use cards like Sage Owl or Ponder to see what's coming up, then attack with the magpie.

Hey! I didn't know they made a Chav card!

When I play these in my decks, I usually end up with only a 3rd of my deck left, and I get enough control cards to make sure the magpie(s) can just keep on going. I've won games before entirely with magpie damage.

Threatens card advantage after a few swings. Fun staple card that is not overpowered.

Just found that this is directly or indirectly related to The Thieving Magpie Overture by Rossini on NPR. I always like the hidden gems in text or games.

Slap on a quicksilver dagger and a snake umbra for (T): ancestral recall. Also gives you a reason to play that guided passage that's been sitting in your trade binder since 2001.

This was my favorite creature of all time. Won lots of (albeit casual) games for me during the Urza's/Masques days.
