The problem with defining this format by what is "fun" is that everyone seems to define fun as what they don't lose to. If you keep losing to easily answered cards, that means you should improve your deck. If you don't want to improve your deck, then you should come to peace with the idea that you are going to lose because you chose to not interact with better strategies.
I feel bad admitting this, but I'm sure other people don't know either so I'll just ask, what the hell is the meme surrounding Storm Crow? I've heard people joke about it for years, but never have I actually understood what they were making fun of about it. Can someone please, in all seriousness, enlighten me about this?

I don't know how it got started, but while Storm Crow is in an objective, non-meme-y fashion a card that is not very good (see Seacoast Drake), people decide to look up all the possible 'benefits' it could offer in a way to turn its badness into awesomeness.
Gut Shot? That's cute. 20 turn clock! Evasive damage! Greatest card advantage machine ever, because for the price of 1 Jace you can get 100 Storm Crows! Pitches to Force of Will! Can wield Jitte!
It doesn't necessarily have to really be sensible, but through its own twisted logic, a card that was so bad became the card that is so good. It's all about making fun of the fact that yes, it's not really a good card, by going for these delusions of grandeur.

That's THE card that will get banned in modern's UR storm! The rest of the deck is safe now. (Don't bother to reply to point out the obvious, dummy.) That token slots directly in my version as the storm count holder.

IIRC, the story goes that, when Alliances was in Standard, blue decks were dominating; the joke went that any given blue card was better than any given nonblue card, if only because blue cards can be pitched to Force of Will. Storm Crow was a blue card, and it was printed in the same set as Force of Will, so it had to be good!

I cackled a LOT when I read it. The token art is the cherry on top.

I wonder if this will have any impact on the price of 7th Edition foil Storm Crows. People will feel incentivized to use those as tokens, right?
Clearly the price will skyrocket. Get your Storm Crows now before they do!
Uh, no. It's meme card Storm Crow...with storm.
