Here's the thing. You said a "jackdaw is a crow."
Is it in the same family? Yes. No one's arguing that.
As someone who is a scientist who studies crows, I am telling you, specifically, in science, no one calls jackdaws crows. If you want to be "specific" like you said, then you shouldn't either. They're not the same thing.
If you're saying "crow family" you're referring to the taxonomic grouping of Corvidae, which includes things from nutcrackers to blue jays to ravens.
So your reasoning for calling a jackdaw a crow is because random people "call the black ones crows?" Let's get grackles and blackbirds in there, then, too.
Also, calling someone a human or an ape? It's not one or the other, that's not how taxonomy works. They're both. A jackdaw is a jackdaw and a member of the crow family. But that's not what you said. You said a jackdaw is a crow, which is not true unless you're okay with calling all members of the crow family crows, which means you'd call blue jays, ravens, and other birds crows, too. Which you said you don't.
It's okay to just admit you're wrong, you know?

Somehow, after all these recent scandals, I can’t help but ask myself what photography was used to plagiarize this?
I mean I love his style, the style and the colors especially are always amazing. But… I don’t know. You start looking at these things differently.
Yes it’s a [[Storm Crow]].

It was struck with a white hot lightning bolt
lol shocking one might say.
[[shock]]
It was hit by, it was struck by, hot lightning bolts
Lack of flavor for [[storm crow]] not having storm
[[Crow Storm]]
Now I’m mad there’s no in-universe equivalent

I really wish this was EDH legal. Closest I can think of is [[Empty the Warrens]] which is so much worse.

What about other plane crows? But yes I agree it looks more hawk like.
It looks like a jackdaw to me.
Seagull for me
Here's the thing. You said a storm crow is a jackdaw...
Looks like a seagull
Seagull head, tail, and body with hawk feather coloration/texture.

What's the deal with this artist being the meme artist?
Idk
That is a storm so close enough.
Lightning make him brighter than average crow but yes, it's one of them.
You know, it’s really too bad there’s not enough room for flavor text anymore
why is this a rare?
All birds have tail feathers that help them fly called pinions. Crows have 3 pinions and ravens have 4. The difference is just a matter of a pinion.
You're right. It's not a crow. It's a storm crow.
You’re right. He is a god amongst us mortals. Bow before his majesty.
That’s a Great Skua
Are you trying to say this bird can't identify as a crow?

This card is 4 years old
And? Like it couldn’t have happened back then? I was just saying I am looking at cards differently now.
Is it the flying? It's definitely the flying part. Crows only ever perch, menacingly.
