Anyone who thinks this card is mediocre obviously doesn't play competitive vintage. He is literally the entire metagame. You've got CrowTop, Ad Nauseam Crow, Crow Beatdown.... The only decks that Top 8 without Storm Crow are the Chimney Imp decks, and that's only when they can manage to get the Imp's insane card advantage going.

Man I remember a guy attacked me with one of these, then he flung it at me with fling, I took 2 damage! well needless to say I was so traumatized by the experience of it I just quit the game, ran home and hid under my bed rocking back and forth clutching a crucifix.
To think I saw a real Storm Crow, not one of those collector edition ones, or the gold boardered ones from the Tourny decks, but the real thing! if I ever get over my fear I'll ask him if he'll trade me one for my two beta moxes.....probably not though....only an idiot would make that deal....and we all know idiots don't use Storm Crows riiight?

another brilliant creature for the insanely broken bird tribal. when this was in standard, it warped the whole metagame, people were maindecking creatures that specifically had higher power than storm crow, even if it cost them much more. and a lot of decks even had creature removal to deal with this.
people think that new phyrexia will change legacy, but gut shot doesn't even kill storm crow, so i doubt that.
and to the person talking about someone using fling on storm crow obviously didn't realise that fling deals the damage, not storm crow so that combo doesn't work.
hah, power creep indeed

It can't be worse than Llanowar, it's a different color. They're really not comparable.
That said, it sucks.

Storm Crow descending, winter unending.
Storm Crow departing, I start farting. (with relief)
