"Summon Mana Birds" - They didn't make many bones about creature types back in the day (the one displayed is 4th ed, and I like that art; I wish I could trivially afford a beta Birds).
IME, BoP (and mana dorks in general) are either really good or really bad. Usually really good.
Yeah, 4th has "Mana Birds". Hilariously, there's a bird called a bird of paradise and a flower called a bird of paradise, and between them they have the Indian Ocean.
I generally say, mana dorks for
g are good. Mana dorks which produce every color in your deck for
1g or less are good. The other mana dorks I consider usually produce more than one mana, often on a scale. Two out of three ain't bad. And it has flying to boot. Probably the most famous green creature with flying, until we all started to troll MaRo with the bees, a set of creatures with flying which 1) must have flying, and 2) are hard to justify in any color more than green, due to the obvious fertility symbolism.
