I think this thing's ability is more like firebreathing than the ability dubbed "firebreathing." It's like spraying a swath of flames over the opponent's creatures. Very flavorful, if you ask me.

What's that? I can't hear you over the sound of how awesome my dragon is while it's destroying your blockers.

Anyways, I think I'd rather have this than flameblast, I mean flameblast is good but this can target more than one creature, so it can take out many smaller creatures, or one big creature that could block the hellkite, in which case ancient hellkite would do 6 damage to the player anyway. I just prefer the versatility this card offers, instead of "you get to cast a single-target fireball, have fun"

Also, as some have said, if you slap a basilisk collar on this thing, it can wreak absolute havoc on your opponents creatures. Lets see flameblast clear the battlefield for Red per creature!

Ridiculously amazing art, and a decent card as well.

I love the artwork and I guess the balance between stats and cost are fairly decent too.

It's an alright dragon. If your opponent has lots of small creatures it can be pretty good. If your opponent plays some kind of control or combo deck though, that has few to no creatures, then this is just a 6/6 for 7, and in that case shivan dragon and the normal firebreathers would be far better.

This card is really gd, but Duskdale Wurm, which is a 7/7, is a way better card. It even has trample.
