Easily one of the most powerful enchantments and token producers ever printed. Like with Necropotence, paying life isn't much of a drawback when the power you're buying can win the game before the lifeloss even starts to matter.

This is one of those cards where it's hard to realize just how powerful it is until you've seen it in action.

Consider. If your opponent lacks a way to block flying creatures, it will deal the following damage in the turns after it hits play. 0 + 1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 + 6 = 21 damage after 7 turns, all on its own. That's roughly as much of a threat as a 3-power creature -- for two mana, with evasion. More importantly, it imposes that threat while being resistant to creature removal, slowing down only slightly if a single fairy is killed; and even enchantment removal is less valuable against it, because if they don't take it out early they still have to deal with the faeries it produced. And that's before you get into ways of boosting their power.

Swarming flying tokens is vicious. And that's just the most straightforward use for this card; there's lots of things you can combo it with -- or, if you're forced to use the tokens defensively, it's probably still going to buy yo... (see all)

Plague Spitter is hilarious against this. That card saves my ass in legacy (as it did against this the other day) more times than I can find. Same goes for casual multiplayer, etc..

That said, this card is decent at stalling, chumping, pushing through damage next to a finisher, and generally supporting card advantage in an aggro strategy; something that is rare.
