Nowhere near the most confusing, and not perticularly good, but there's something badass about him. Basically, this 3 oz. bird is going to make sure you stay dead.

Why the hell did they think this ability was green?

So, the single least bird-like bird in all of magic gets art that depicts it doing something it can't do and gets paired up with a very un-green effect on a green card with a baffling name and flavor text apparently derived from the real world and not that of MTG?
I'll take 4

This bird is awesome! Not only can it "not fly", but it can prevent cleric decks from preventing damage all the time. With this a mono G deck can actually defeat a cleric deck that runs Battletide Alchemist! 1/1 for 1, great! 1/1 for 1 that has an ability, freaking awesome!

Baffling flavourwise. I dodn't know actual whippoorwills were so nasty.

@ClockworkSwordfish: Whippoorwills are considered psychopomps in some legends, guiding souls to the afterlife. That's where the flavor comes from, the bird's going to make sure this poor creature goes to its final rest.

Why doesn't this get as much sarcastic ridicule as Storm Crow does?
