{cloudfin raptor} stinks. What are better one drop fliers?

Evolve as a whole stinks.

I like {Judge's Familiar} and {Faerie Impostor} if you have some good ETB creatures out.

I also vouch for {Judges Familiar}

The promo one though, it's more op.

{Experiment One} is a legitimately good 1-drop evolve creature that sees constructed play. He works with humans, and is great in a blitz deck.

Aside from that, though, evolve is definitely more of a limited format mechanic.

Some good standard 1-drops:
{Rakdos Cackler}
{Deathrite Shaman}
{Vexing Devil} (for a month more)
{Dryad Militant}

{Galerider Sliver} is still a 1/1 flier for 1.

Unless you're running slivers, {Judge's Familiar} is a strictly better 1/1 flyer for 1, and even has hybrid mana to help cast it turn 1 if your deck has white.

Yeah, that's true. But I was only saying he IS a 1/1 flier for 1. I knew it wasn't the best.

I run experiment in my modern deck. 70% of the time he's 4/4 by turn 3.
