My favorite ridiculous dragon, next to Dragon Tyrant.

Even if you for some reason toss this into a deck all by itself, it's almost worth playing just for being... A flying kill machine. Add the super amplify and the god-pinging that -feeds off it-, and the only thing left to regret is that it's so confoundedly ugly. Well, I also regret that it uses plain +1/+1 counters and not some sort of crazy "They know you have dragonz Counter", but that's just me and I'll get over it. Only a baby eating puppy kicker wouldn't use this death dealer.

I love this guy. I know one guy won't play my dragon deck anymore after I dropped this guy turn 4 (dragonspeaker Shaman, sakura-tribe elder) and showed him my hand full of 5 dragons. "well I suppose I'll ping u for 15"
Pew pew! I ping you for 12 at the end of your turn! I think the word "ping" stops being applicable at around 2 damage :P

Now that's what I call a dragon.

I once Dropped a triple Dragonstorm and pulled three of these. Then revealed six dragons for each of them. ~ow. 23/23 apiece.
I should mention Dragon Mage and tons of luck and some Imperial Hellkites were involved with lining that up.

I'd say this was one of the rare amplify creatures that didn't suck, but amplify itself was rare anyway, with only 9 of the suckers. Amplify was definitely a poorly executed mechanic. With most of those things, you had to reveal 2 or 3 creatures to even "break even" and get a creature that was on-curve... if you wanted an actual reward for your hoop jumping, you had to have 3 or 4 matching creatures, and if you wanted more than a minor benefit, that's one more card. And yet their mana costs were mostly 5+, at a point when your hand is unlikely to have many cards in it at all. Of course, a cheap Amplify creature could get pretty swingy/nuts, so I understand there's development issues here. But you find ways to make the cards attractive in a different way.
Sort of like this monster. It's still under-curve without any amplify, which is fine; 7 for 5/5 flying is on the weak side but it's there if it's a choice between that and not casting anything at all, and you're getting some value out of the deal. But with just one dragon you have 7 for 8/8 flying and ping for 3, which is a fantastic deal. Two dragons in hand at the 7 mana mark doesn't happen often, but if it does you've got an insane monster for way under price. Fantastic card.

Oh man, I have so many fun memories with this card! I would routinely make this guy huge and his uber-ping ability got through Moment's Peace, a card my friend played all the friggin' time back in the day. I recently tossed a dragon-reanimator deck together that features him and nothing is more satisfying that revealing 3 dragons to make him a 17/17. Great Timmy fun!
