A flyer this cheap accepts a defensive blind spot in exchange for an offensive guarantee. The clause restricting its blocking to flyers only is what prices the body: an evasive one-drop that could also hold the ground against anything would be undercosted for what it does. By walling it off from blocking ground creatures, the card commits fully to one job, getting in the air and staying there, with a defensive profile that matters only against other flyers. This is the early-era template for a cheap evasive beater with a stapled-on limitation, a pattern that recurs whenever designers want to push an aggressive flyer below the rate without making it a strict upgrade. The Faerie tribe gives it a home in any deck that cares about the type, and the flying body does honest work as a clock or a chip-damage engine. What it will not do is play defense in any meaningful way, and that is intent rather than oversight: a small, deliberate creature that knows exactly what it is and pays for the rest with a clause most players never read twice.
