The ability is pretty aggressive against fliers, I can understand the mana cost just through that effect alone but since its attached to a creature, this thing can get pretty huge after it lands, considering it starts off as a 4/4.
Very solid wrath against flyers.
even if you only kill one flyer, that card is worth the casting cost
aaagh finally something real good against my dragon obsessed friends
