...Lemme get this straight, Ur-Drago, who is supposedly the perfect DRAGON, had his creature type errata'd to ELEMENTAL!?!?

@Test-Subject: No - this guy is very similarly named, but I don't think Ur-Drago is the ur-dragon.
The five legendary dragons from Invasion - Crosis, Darigaaz, Dromar, Rith and Treva - turned out to be tyrannical, once resurrected, and they were planning to subjugate whatever Dominarians weren't destroyed by Phyrexia. They were each supposed to be like aspects of "perfect dragonhood", and that's referenced in the flavour text of allfiveoftheirattendants.

Swampwalk has an unusual amount of hate in this set...:P
If it weren't for Urborg (not the Tomb of Yawgmoth variety, which ironically does basically the opposite), I would say that Swampwalk had the potential to overtake Forestwalk as best landwalk. Forestwalk wins mostly because the walks all show up strongest in the color of the land they hose (Red Mountainwalkers, Blue Islandwalkers, etc.) and Green in general is King of Land Manipulation. But they've printed more Swampwalkers, and swampwalk haters, than any other kind of landwalking related cards that I'm aware of...

Well, look, it's Ben Grimm sporting a mohawk and a helmet...
Should have at least been an Elemental Knight??
I wonder if they consulted the designers of Legends concerning what the actual D&D characters represented when they did the Big Creature Type Update...

Elemental?....... something seems a bit off about this type.

The only draconic elemental to have a helmet.
(Sure, he's the only draconic elemental period. But you'd only play him because he has a helmet.)

I kinda hope this is not the actual Ur-Dragon but some sort of avatar or follower. After all it's Drago, not Dragon.

Perfect card for that situation where you're getting overrun by swampwalk creatures with toughness 4.

Of all the dumb legends from this set, I really wish they would have put some flavor text on him. He seems like he would have a cool story behind him. But alas, his legacy is merely being just another junky, overcosted legend from Legends.
