Not bad. For all intents and purposes as good as Snapping Drake. Highly playable in Limited.
Edit: Lolwut, Skyfisher? Flying fish? Awesome!
Harrow is going to be an awesome combat trick! I'm really glad it's in the set, hopefully there will be more ways to put lands into play at instant speed in the set without breaking anything.

RnD during Time Spiral:
Rosewater: "Color Pie, WTF is that, If I want Black to be able to wrath, counter and have green creatures then I will damnit!"
Random RnD guy: "RED AKORMA! FTW!"
Gleemax: "Rosewater has broken out of my mind control!"
RnD after 2008:
MaRo: Hmm how do we fix the problems of pricing with cards like Tarmogoyf and Thoughtsieze
Random RnD Guy: OO lets make a new RED RARITY SYMBOL!
MARO: OMGWTFBBQ! Thats a great idea, we'll call it Mythic Rarity!
Gleemax: NOT AGAIN! CELEB
I can't believe I hadn't inferred it from the flavor on that one Kor pirate-looking equipment master guy ... but "flying ships" seem absolutely positively guaranteed to return.
Wind-ships? Dragon Wings? Whatever you want to call them, I do hope they're a little more "wooden sailing ships equipped with magic to sail on wind currents" and less like the crazy, Urza-artifice styled Weatherlight, or the Predator.
Fits well with the weird "gravitational flux" thing going on - ships that can maybe ride gravity upswings, too. And imagining vampire raiders skyjacking a flying Kor treasure ship seems amazing to me.
This is a pretty nice common.

I just opened a Planar Chaos booster and pulled an Extirpate and a Damnation in the same pack.
This is a very respectable evasive threat for limited, a 4/4 for 4 most of the time which will only be a 2/2 for 4 when you miss a land drop but with any fetch style land can be a 6/6 and if you have a fetch land and a Harrow this could get as big as a 10/10 for a turn. Probably a pretty high pick.
You know .. with fetches these guys could get pumped at any time.

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.
And the G/U fetchland might make things even easier.
This guy is actually good in a GU deck in standard.
Expanse + G/U fetch + G/B fetch and U/R fetch just to abuse landfall + this guy = INSANE beats. Like making this guy on average a 5/5 or bigger. Swinging for 10 on turn 5 is indeed a beating.
