Storm Crow jokes first emerged with Alliances, because you could pitch Storm Crow to Force of Will. The joke began as a reaction to the over-the-top blue hype of the day -- between Force and Diminishing Returns, many people said that Alliances had given Blue all the best cards. There was some serious-sounding hyperventilative discussion of whether it would ever be sane to play any other color. "Alliances broke blue" is the sort of thing people would say, as well as "Force of Will makes any random blue card better than every other card in the game." Stuff like that.
In response to that, people would jokingly assert that Storm Crow must be the most broken card ever, because it was blue and printed in Alliances.

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?

I run him in every deck I play, even in standard, even in mono-black. He's just that good.

Grand Comrade Storm Crow does need community ratings to know how good he is. He shrugs off the barbs of cowards and fools like brunsbr103. He is above such petty jealousy.
