Default [CON] Dreadwing

...but I think it's a pretty good draft card.

Dreadwing
Uncommon
Creature - Zombie
: Dreadwing gets +3/+0 and gains flying until end of turn.
1/1

(stupid Vithian Stinger stupid Blister Beetle stupid Suicidal Charge)

Well that's kinda dissapointing. Oh well, as mentioned below, too easily dealt with... even in limited.

Dumb card for such an awesome name. Dreadwing from Warcraft 2 is ASHAMED.

Dreadwing, Scornful Aether-Lich... what's with the wasted awesomeness?

Probably playable in limited flying+pump is decent but definitely not high pick quality.

As Thallid said, the one toughness is the downfall of this otherwise playable creature as there are lots of ways to deal with this and as in the case of stinger it would lead to some card disadvantage.

mediocre all round, but the potential for a big flier might sucker you in

Bah, once again I got my hopes up... and once again wizards beat it down for me... I mean, this set has got some kick-ass names, but the cards... They barely make for decent limited material. And the ones that are actually good seems to be uncommon and require 3 colors in some way...

Well that sucks... waste of a good name. I think they're trying to push the color combos too hard, without putting enough time into the actual card.

I'm not disappointed at all. Sure, he's fragile. But he hits HARD!
