Tier 2
Big airborne reestablishing champion. 8 damage is enough to break a lot of important champions and most airborne champions.
8/8 is also excellent stats in the air, since it wins in combat against all of the 6/8s on down. Only outright loses to two playable airborne champions: Draka and Sky Serpent. At 8 health it survives Whirlwind which is potentially a big deal for airborne champion fights. Finally, the airborne 8 offense threatens to kill your opponent very quickly while dodging more chump blocking.
This card was incredibly powerful in the no-core monthly tournament. At some point, I might make the argument that Hunting Wyvern is on the same level or better than Kong/Sea Titan in draft, but today is not that day. There are potential constructed metas where I would definitely make that argument.
