I starting making it normal with just a draw discard, but i started adding on to it and I thought it came out pretty interesting.

Heh. Owl Familiar!

[MrZuccinniHead]

is this negative feedback or positive?  I can't speak owl.

edit: oh owl familiar did the draw/discard.  Good thing i made it more interesting.

Did you mean for it to say "Whenever a Bird comes into play..."?  Not only is the actual card not an Owl but there don't happen to be any other Owl cards, unless they're on the Master List here.  Otherwise I like it.

[MrZuccinniHead]

I kinda wanted to make like the owl can fetch you something.  Cast and return too fetch you card advantage.  Anyway I fixed the mistake.  Is this strictly better than owl familiar?  Should I raise the pack ability or is it fine?

"When Companion Owl comes into play, you may return an instant with converted mana cost 1 or less in your graveyard to your hand."

That would be an awesome ability to have.

but isn't and instant of 1 CMC kinda narrow?

It is narrow, but the flavour is really excellent. Just how much do you think an owl can carry? I think Matt rather enjoys cards that interact with cards with a converted mana cost of 1 and I do too. They appeal to the Johnny in me, since there are a slew of less-than-quality 1cc cards (even if some of them are awesome). You certainly don't have to go that direction with this card, though. If you choose not to, I'd be more than happy to take that idea and do something with it in another thread.
