Skyshroud Condor

A 2/2 flyer for two mana would be unremarkable on rate alone, which is the point: the casting restriction is the whole card. The condition that you must have already cast another spell this turn turns a vanilla flier into a payoff for spell density, an early experiment in what the design language would later call a storm-count threshold. It is rarely your turn-two play; it arrives only after you have committed something else first, which makes it a tax on tempo rather than a free body. That friction is where the balance lives: the rate looks aggressive precisely because the deck has to do something else before the bird is legal to cast, and a hand of pure two-drops simply cannot deploy it on curve. The mechanic is a precursor to the "cast another spell" rider that shows up across later sets in cleaner, more rewarding forms, but here it is pure restriction with no upside attached beyond the body itself. The result is a creature that punishes the decks most likely to want a cheap flier (low-curve aggro that wants to dump its hand in order) while rewarding the decks least likely to need one (spell-heavy builds that were never going to lean on a 2/2). That tension between what the card costs and who can actually pay it is the most interesting thing about it.
