I love when people *** about how week commons are, then *** about how OP mythics are.
This is exactly what one should get for the cost and rarity. Perhaps not the right color, but New Phyrexia is a strange set, to say the least. Deals fairly hefty damage by itself and has a relevant creature type to boot.

This is what happened to Dumbo when he became old enough to drink kids.. See what Hollywood does to an elephant when Walt Disney doesn't call you back for a sequel?? What sucks most probably is that this dude used to be an efficient flier until his fat a** ate too many stinkin peanuts! He's the reason you don't see bowls of em at the bar anymore. Then came the drugs and piercings.. Sad story really.. Shield your eyes children, spare yourselves the agony of seeing our happy little flying Dumbo unable to get his fat a** off the ground.

Regarding the vanilla creatures that's in almost every booster pack that turn people away from buying boosters. (A bit off-topic but ah well..)
You need "crap" to fill the booster packs, if every single card was becoming more powerful by the set, then BS angel and the titans will soon become obsoleted by newer cards in the years to come.
I usually buy booster packs because of the surprise element in it. In my opinion, there's a world of difference between someone saying "I just opened a baneslayer angel in a booster pack! lucky me!" than someone saying "I just bought a baneslayer angel! yay!

Though you are being sarcastic, DysprosiumJudas, your statement holds much truth.
Sub-par (but not outright bad) vanilla creatures are a vital component of any set, they prevent limited from being nothing but a powerhouse slugfest, they provide simple cards to flesh out the gaps in your draft pool, and in your mana curve, they are fodder for beginners and precons.
So, it'll never be an early pick (barring a catastrophically bad pack), and it'll never appear in constructed formats, but it's far from worthless.

Cards like this are essential components of any set, especially for the growing popularity of drafting. It's crap, but not "worthless" in a sense it doesn't add value to the game. I agree with @Atali basically. :)

i guess every set needs a few cards that make you question why you wasted 4 bux on a booster pack.

Worthless card that will forever be relegated to late-picks in limited. Thanks for the print, Wizards, we definitely needed more of those.
