I'm thinking about going and buying Luminous eagle to pair with him as well. I don't normally like shatter, but I feel like a shatter that is 1 speed faster than Uriel could be super valuable in making sure his attacks don't hit armor.
And then if I get Luminous eagle, Thunderbird suddenly looks pretty interesting. A ranged stun that is the same speed as Luminous eagle with his melee knockout seems like a good combo. And all of those are flying cards.
