Shadowflaam, what the hell are you talking about??
This card was first handed out as a Dragon*Con promo in 1994, which seemed to have occurred in July...

It is therefore post-Revised but pre-The Dark.
I actually have two of them, hidden all the way at the end of my Fallen Empires collection.
Kind of fitting...

2010/01/16: Gatherer wrongly lists this card as not playable in any tournament format. It is actually fully legal in Legacy and Vintage. From the Magic tournament rules :
3.3 Authorized Cards
Players may use any cards from special sets, supplements, and promotional printings that, unaltered, meet the following conditions:
• The card is published by Wizards of the Coast
• The card has a standard Magic back
• The card does not have squared corners
• The card has black or white borders
• The card is not damaged or modified in a way that might make it marked
• The card is otherwise legal for the tournament as defined by the format
Nalathni Dragon, as well as Sewers of Estark and Windseeker Centaur are tournament-legal Magic cards, because they are published by WotC, they have Magic card backs, they do not have squared corners and they have black borders. They are legal in the Legacy and Vintage formats because all tournament-legal Magic ca... (see all)

berserkberserker, I totally agree with you. When I saw this guy, I knew he was going to be an awesome addition to my dragon deck. I can band him with one of my other powerful dragons, essentially boost the dragon's power by 4 and prevent all combat damage that would be dealt to my dragon (therefore getting rid of those pesky reach creatures that kept trying to capture and eat my dragons).
Woohoo! Dragon with banding for the win!
Oh, and MadMageQc, good job! They corrected their mistake.

Well, one good thing about this card is the artwork. Michael Whelan is a fantastic artist, and this is the only card illustrated by him. Also, it is not available in any sets. This is one of the perks of having a promo card, yet it seems just about every other promo in Magic can be found in one set or another, at least lately.
Would I use this in a deck? Not likely.

Fun fact: I'm pretty sure this is the only Red creature with Banding.

It's online now! As a promo-only, fittingly enough. Never seen it played.
