Cloud Sprite is a one-mana 1/1 flyer with a single relevant line of text — it can only block creatures with flying — and that's the whole card. In Edric, Spymaster of Trest decks it earns its slot as an evasive one-drop that reliably connects and draws a card every combat, but outside that engine it's a 1/1 with a downside.

Edric, Spymaster of Trest
Edric, Spymaster of Trest rewards any creature that sneaks through unblocked, and Cloud Sprite's evasion guarantees that trigger every turn for a single blue mana — exactly the kind of cheap, flying body the deck wants at the bottom of its curve.

Cloud Sprite is a 75-cent roleplayer in exactly one context: Edric, Spymaster of Trest Commander builds, where one-mana flyers are currency. In Legacy, Vintage, and Pauper it's legal but unplayable — formats with actual interaction have no patience for a 1/1 that can't even block ground creatures. Pauper in particular has far better one-drop blue creatures with fewer drawbacks. Cloud Sprite is not Pioneer- or Standard-legal, which is irrelevant — nobody is asking.
