Delver of Secrets Flip is an eternal format staple at this point. Skylasher kills Delver dead.

It's a hate bear that kills Delver of Secrets Flip , Snapcaster Mage , and other relevant blue creatures. It doesn't really deserve to be $8, but prerelease hype does that to a lot of cards.

Cheap green flash with reach, that alone is good, I can think of plenty of standard card situations where its relevant, pro blue is a plus.

Its a pretty awesome card.

What makes it so good is because it's an extreme hate against control decks...their typical blue chumps aint blocking it, and I highly doubt they want to block with resto when you probably have bigger bad asses coming their way.
