I would have liked a different card for Icarus, like maybe this:
Instant
Target creature you control gains flying until end of turn, on your end step, sacrifice it

Ah, what could have been. This is a nice name for a reference that I think a lot of people were waiting for. Unfortunately, WotC decided to slap together a Goblin Balloon Brigade with a few keywords instead of taking a little creative thought and following the lore. Honestly, the whole Theros block is beginning to feel like a bad version of Innistrad where WotC tries to coast by on familiar mythology and stories--without Innistrad's creativity.

Great flavor, great artwork!
Sadly unlikely to be more than a limited-filler.

Wonderful flavor. However, it's a 1/1 creature that can't grow larger on its own and has no other purpose but to attack the player. And it's two mana. You're not going to build tempo fast enough if you play with this.

For Standard, This with Madcap Skills comes to mind for RDW (mono red aggro). A 1/1 flyer might not be all that impressive, easily hit for kills spells and burn, but with madcap, your opp needs more than just 1 flyer to block, and 4 damage per turn is worth worrying about. Still easy to kill, but the threat might pull an opponents Hero's Downfall, Celestial Flare or similiar Kill spell on my 1/1 flyer with madcap skills rather than my Stormbreath Dragon a few turns later.

His style may be impetuous, but his defenses certainly aren't impregnable.

Step 1: Loyal Pegasus
Step 2: get this guy on the field.
Step 3: Bestow Noble Quarry on him.
Step 4: Wahaha!
