Spelling Bee

Creature — Alien Insect

Flying, deathtouch

Whenever Spelling Bee deals combat damage to a player, that player looks at the top card of your library and chooses a word on that card. You spell that word. If you spell it correctly, draw a card. Otherwise, scry 1 (Look at the top card of your library. You may put that card on the bottom of your library.).

Green's fliers are almost universally either pre-Modern or part of cycles (usually Dragon, one Kirin). Take out Tarkir, which gave flying to everything, and Planar Chaos, which isn't a precedent for anything, and the only green fliers left are Earthquake Dragon (I consider this a bend), Remnant of the Rising Star  Flip (callback to a cycle), Spelling Bee (Un-set), and Gilded Goose (thematic callback to Birds of Paradise). While there are a very small handful of independent green fliers, it's still very much out of green's wheelhouse. But you're right, it will happen on occasion.
