It's a fairly elegant if boring design. What's particularly interesting (to me) is that Wind Strider seems like it would fit the ZNR better. Either there was an attempt to balance the number of Clerics / Rogues / Warriors / Wizards in the ZNR, or Elementals are relevant to a future set (and either Kaldheim or Strixhaven could make sense) and this is a case of future compatibility.
To be real and not snarky for one moment, I AM legitimately kind of irritated by this card, because I need blue flash creatures for one of my Pauper Cubes, and the number of redundant designs in this space is stupid big.
I was legitimately excited by f'ing Crystacean when it came out, simply because it wasn't another 2/3 flash flyer for 3U, a 3/2 flash flyer for 3U, or a 3/3 flash flyer for 4U.
I mean, I guess I kinda get why cards with these P/Ts and these costs are perennial Limited fixtures, but could WotC try not bunting this ball all the time?

Spoiler EditorThis is now the fifth creature with this exact same mana cost, rarity, power and toughness, and abilities.

WotC to Lookingupanddown- Fine! Here’s another printing of Colossal Dreadmaw butthole.
