Flight until end of turn is usually too weak to go up to the rare rarity (it'd be common or uncommon). Giving this to green would meen that situations like:

"I cast Aerial Maneuver on Risen Sanctuary .
-Ok, I can't block, that's 9 damage.
-I cast Aerial Maneuver on Risen Sanctuary .
-I'm dead."

would come too often in limited. Green fatties are usually already sufficient to get through opposing defences. There's no need to make them hard to block in addition.

Using a G/W fatty and a white combat trick is probably not the best way to argue this point.

Okay, see, here's the argument:
Flying is good in limited. Green getting flying in limited is potentially dangerous, because their creatures are really large. When white is attacking you with an assault griffing for 3 damage a turn, you still have quite some time. When green behemoths a 6/6 in the air, you're dying pretty fast. The argument isn't "urp durp flying fatties are broken", it's "in limited, green's fliers would be too big at too low of a rarity"

I'm not necessarily saying that it's true, but Shivan Dragon doesn't have anything to do with the discussion, because it's a rare. If your problem is that green doesn't have easy access to flying on lower rarities, then the topic above is relevant.
