Blazing Shoal, people, Blazing Shoal. Gets you to Hellbent quicker with plenty of benefits :)

I had two Shoals in my hand once and a Rathi Dragon. I tapped lands to use one Shoall, then remove Rathi for the other, +7/+0 to Pit Dragon, but Hellbent kicks in, that's 20 damage in one swing :D

My firend had this as they only creature on the field, he was hell bent, it was late game, I had no flying, he pumped this and delivered 19 damage in one attack and won, never underestimate flying double strike that can get pumped further.
I love the idea behind the mechanic: Planeswalker: "Ey dragon, I cannot remember any spells at all" Dragon: "I'll hit 'em twice then" ^^

Great in a hellbent deck or just any mono-red burn.

As a card:
Fun to play, looks really cool, and there's something about playing a doublestriking 3/3 utility dragon for 4 that I just love. Thing is way cool. Mid-range red decks can utilize this dude in some way. Plus he's a must have in the titular Dragon Stompy!

From the viewpoint of Legacy Burn:
It is a fantastic fizzle-out card or a great late-gate topdeck. Generally gets through Countertop if your Shusher isn't on the field to protect you.
Run as a one-of in the maindeck.

It's a dragon that can only fly conditionally? What?

Things no-one will believe you can do until you show them #37: use One with Nothing as a devastating combat trick.

I would be sort of disappointed to learn if nobody had ever sacrificed this guy to Lord of the Pit.
