So apart from Hokira we got as spoilers this week, we've get to see the strength of Skycrusher's guards in the form of Skycrusher's Elite.
Spoiler: click to toggle

Talk about giving Rush more rush. Sure, level 5 but your little power-houses get to attack at the speed of swarm which coupled with any creature with an attack effect, you get more than you paid for. Shaw K'Naw, Seneschal, you name it, he can rush it. Again, he's level 5 with 4000 Power so he dies to Tornado Flame and above but he's one of those, I might stick around as support than swinging with him. Then again, maybe not.

What do you guys think about Skycrusher's Elite?

Awesome card. He ensures that all your little guys are still relevant in the late game.
Embrace imagination.

I was thinking that this card is pretty nice, making your small creatures useful late game is a big thing for a lot of decks. then I realized that Seneschal, Shaw K'naw and Razorhide all have 2000 power! Fire just got even better!

Yep. Pretty useful ability. [card]Scaradorable the Hunter[/card] may be more necessary than my initial assessment with Elite able to speed up so many different creatures. Though she doesn't touch Elblanco's mentioned cards. Looking forward to 3RIS more and more w/ every card that they spoil.

Good assault card. I can't really think of what cards can be used with this off the top of my head, but the effect itself looks like it'll be really good when combined with the right cards.

I know this is a bit late to add to discussion, but personally, I wish this card worked by Level and not by power. I was considered it for my Rush deck, but I recently strengthened my Drakon theme. Now Elite is Drakon and he helps rush, so it seems like a no brainer to add, right?
Well, wrong. According the ruling, boosts to power from cards like Essence Elf and Blastforge Slaver apply as soon as it hits the field, before effects like Skycrusher's Elite. So with Blastforge Slaver all my Drakons gain 2K Power, pushing pretty much all my cards outside of Elite's Buff Zone =\
Just seem silly because in my deck, 7 different named cards (aka 21) have under 1K/2K base power. But 4 of them (12) are Drakons, so if I got a Slaver on the field, this card is wasted. Yet if it were Level 2 or less, 5 (15) of my cards would be affect by it, which I think it pretty good.
Or better yet, it if counted the written/base power of the card and applied before buffs. Oh well, maybe something in future will replace this card for my needs. It still works good in rush decks that don't use any global buffs.
