Hi, came across this art today. Surprised that Hypnotic Specter is so much larger than Serra Angel, but it's only a 2/2? Feels like it's p/t should be higher considering the size of it.
Hmm, what could be the possible explanation for this? opinions anyone?
Serra Angel vs Hypnotic Specter

Physical size is far, far from the only determinant of p/t in flavor. Consider that Akroma is only physically the size of Nivea but is a 6/6 in her cards. That's because she's an archangel of tremendous might and reputation.
Also, the larger creature is just the Specter's mount. Horses aren't taken into account flavorfully for the p/t of every Knight, for example.

Look how huge Armory Guard is:
He's a 2/5.
vs Regular human sized Surrak Dragonclaw
at a 6/6.
Combat prowess means much more than physical size.
Hypnotic Specter isn't a physically powerful creature. It has power when it touches you and flays your mind, but they aren't really combat oriented minions. It would take two of them to take a normal angel down in purely physical combat.
