The good thing about the upkeep cost is you're likely to get them back unless you're playing against another red deck, so it's more flexible than you'd think. Still annoying, though.

One of the most depressing example of flavor winning over mechanics. Kobolds are terrible and need all the help they can get. If this overpriced Legend buffed ALL Kobolds, than they might have been a viable deck back in the day. But no... he only buffs his pals, the Kobolds of Ker Keep?! Argh! Given the silliness of Legends, I'm half surprised they didn't print one Kobold Lord for each of the 3 basic Kobolds!

At one point, this was voted the worst Legend ever created. It requires black when none of it's tribe do.

Cloudstone curio is why kobolds can't be reprinted. It would be too easy to get infinite storm count.

The reason that he buffs the Kobolds of Kher Keep is that he's their leader. Why would he buff those of different tribes?
If he was typed as a dragon, it would've been a little shady. Take a moment and think about it...

Mind-boggling. Why buff only one Kobold? Why pay ? Why the upkeep clause? Aaarrghhh...

None of his tribe requires red, either! Rohgahh should have been free to cast with no upkeep. And HASTE.

Whatever, I like him. His mechanics are extremely flavourful; he and his army requires an upkeep cost because they are mercenaries, and he only boosts the kobolds from his own stronghold, naturally. As to the in his mana cost, that is clearly because he is a an ambitious individual and because all the legends from Legends had to be multicoloured.
