Air Elemental

1-drops are usually stronger than their cost would indicate, with up to 4 stat points and an effect on certain class cards (such as Voidwalker). The can’t be targeted keyword is worth 0 mana on smaller minions (see fairie dragon), and such this minion is a bit less mana efficient than the top 1-drops.

In terms of playability, two things make this card much more viable than it would be. Firstly, it’s an elemental, which means in an Elemental Shaman deck it at least garantees synergies for the next turn (which slightly makes it a less horrible topdeck later on). Secondly and more importatly, Tunnel Trogg is out of standard, and while this isn’t that storgg, it could see some play in more agressive decks. The effect on a 2/1, however, is really wasted.
