It would be great if we could get Baleful Strix in Modern, it wouldn't break the format in any way and would be a great addition for certain decks. Thoughts?
It seems like a good card for Standard as well, but I don't play Standard so I'm not sure about this. Also, is there a way to introduce a card into Modern and not have it in Standard? I'm not aware of a way they can get a card into Modern and not add it to a new set in Standard. I don't recall WoTC doing this previously.
There is currently no way to introduce cards to Modern without going through Standard first. Wizards has discussed it internally but has decided not to do it yet. Also, there is an entire thread to discuss things like this adding cards to the format (Baleful Strix has been brought up there):
