These are interesting and quite weird. I suppose we really are getting down to the wire on commons and uncomons. I rather like the Skyclaw for sheer flavor, I can't wait to see the art. Foundry is nice, and it does go well with the Captain.

Are you sure the Skyclaw is an Artifact? That seems really weird. (I do realize you seem to be questioning it yourself.)

Rhox Captain gives me wood. Damn, who likes GW tokens? Anyone? Nice. Sadly, he doesn't help Noble Hierarch or Birdies... oh well.

Messenger Falcons is awesome.
Thopter Foundry is...strange.
Gloryscale Viashino will be a beating in limited, but that's about it.
Skyclaw Thrash, more decent limited stuff, but I'm with you on the WTF type line...
Sigil Captain is interesting, I do so like 1/1 tokens.
Vithian Renegades is solid.
Illusory Demon is OK.

Thanks!

From what I see, they are some viashinos taken by an evil esper doctor, who placed some bad-workin'-wings on them, that sometimes work, sometimes not... And they are jumping from a cliff. I wonder what happens if they lose the coin flip...

I really like Sigil Captain. Thopter Foundry is kind of nice too. Any time your creature would die, just sac it for a life boost and another creature.

Falcons won't be good as long as Mulldrifter is around. Don't know about after rotation.
