Card of the Day - Swooping Crow

This week's cards are a response to Bob's Challenge.  I have made my common aggro creatures.  Enjoy!  Today's card is blue's entry, which is good at being control-y in a black/blue deck, but is also awesome aggro in a monoblue deck. I pushed this one quite a bit.

Edit: 2 possible fixes.  Both are more reasonable, but less aggro-y.

    I think this way too powerful, especially at common. Blue almost never gets 2+ power flying creatures for 2 mana, even at rare. Proof:

    everyone actually has drawbacks to being vanilla 2 power fliers, or requires extra mana to activate flying in some way.

    On top of that you've added flash and a very powerful static ability.

    I could see something like 1U, 2/1 flying, flash. Creatures your opponent control with flying have first strike.

    It gives a very relevant drawback given the your creature will die if they have fliers, but gets to be a 2 power flash evasion creature that you can eot while holding counter magic/removal.

    How about "Whenever a spell or ability targets a black creature you control, change it to ~." and make him a 1/1. Still would have interesting playability. I really do like the flavor.

    Also, Flash and Flying need their own lines, see Dewdrop Spy.
