What happened to this card? It used to be great for blue-based tempo decks. Did people completely forget that it was reprinted in 8th edition + 10th, or has power creep killed the guy?
Or you can play Delver and just hold your counter in your hand.

Out of the blackness and stench of the engulfing swamp emerged a shimmering figure. Only the splattered armor and ichor-stained sword hinted at the unfathomable evil the knight had just laid waste.
1. Aether Vial isn't as strong in this format
2. White two drops are more powerful in shutting down potential plays in this format than Spiketail is.
See Thalia. She does what spikey does for the same cost and she doesn't have to die.

In case I didn't tell you, I don't care about your opinion I just want your facts. And not the facts that make you seem smart. I want the ones that are actual facts.
Spiketail's power in Vintage fish was typically amplified by the fact that you were playing it off a Mox on turn 1. Then it's just a flying Seal of Force Spike. Plus, in Vintage, creature removal isn't anywhere near as played because there are just way more powerful things every deck wants to do.

both are generally more relevant.
