The Draganouts may as well go down as one of the funnest creatures in the game. I have never not had a good time while playing the little fellows, who pump with cheap instants and swing for embarrassingly large numbers. They may not have taken off in standard in comparison to better decks/cards, but the 'psycho-nauts' deck based around them and pingers should go on to live on kitchen tables for years to come.

want funny? play a Lightning Bolt or two at your opponenets health and then swing them with this for a devastating total life count. :D

Yep, hit them with Psychotic Rage for a 6 point attack, then any other cantrippy instants for cheap and Nauts get crazy, real fast. Schismotivate is a personal favorite from the same set.

Btw, Pyromantics, and anything else copied via Replicate aren't played/cast, so they don't give the Wee bonus.

UR is really the most fun in MTG. Unfortunately, I'm too dumb to make a good deck with that combo.

So much fun to pair with Pyromatics.

EDIT: I'm apparently wrong about synergy between Pyromatics and this card.

@Guest: Just to help any readers who might try and find out what card you're referring to, by Rage you meant Psychotic Fury. But you are right, that and Schismotivate are sweet with this guy. I also like Gigadrowse; yes, the replicate doesn't give additional bonuses, but with enough mana that and Psychotic Fury let you swing for 12 points of damage when you tap all of their fliers or reach creatures.

Actually like this more then Kiln Fiend, that little bit of evasion make all it more worth while in my storm pauper deck.

I like so much the "instant and sorcery matter" subtheme in the Izzet guild, but i't a pity that doesn't interact very well with the Replicate ability!

However, this is one of the best card in the guild, sometimes it's undervalued by your opponent that leave you the time to bring at least an attack. It's so easy to pump this little faerie, that is embarrassing how many damages it can deals... Blue spells to draw more spells, and red spells to get rid of opponent's defense, and without any combo it deals easily 5/7 damages each turn...

For me, even a 5/5 isn't exaggerated...

I swung with one of these for 24 once, seething song + grapeshot + entwined savage beating. One of my favourite card ever.

I just bought this for my Niv-Mizzet, the Firemind EDH deck. It has 33 instants/sorceries. These guys are going to get big.

These little guys have become the backbone of my Tibor and Lumia EDH deck: tonight's crowning moment of awesome involved everyone's favorite faeries equipping Leering Emblem, getting targeted with a Psychotic Fury that was bounced off of them with a Swerve and then hit them thanks to Reroute, letting them smack an opponent for 26 in a swing.

They certainly don't mind the company of Kiln Fiend or Charmbreaker Devils and equipment like Diviner's Wand or Runechanter's Pike certainly help them get the job done.

Interesting fact: this is the only Faerie card that requires red mana to summon. Maybe with Return to Ravnica, we'll see more Izzet faeries.

I REALLY hope they reprint this and Gelectrode in Return to Ravnica; that way, my U/R Burning Vengeance/Delver of Secrets deck would actually somewhat decent for Standard!

Hits for five on average, though it really isn't hard to go big. My favorite thing about them (and personal reason for playing them over the Kiln Fiend) is actually their 3 toughness. One-sided Pyroclasm plus at least 3 damage? *** yeah.
