combine with any Cup or Chalice shaped artifact and this is totally even more Smaug-like than he was 5 minutes ago. If that's even possible! :D
Tolkien wrote the book ON WRITING THE BOOK on....everything. This is the most Tolkien-y Dragon you will ever see. Ergo, this should be one of the most well-loved cards in Magic.
WHY ISN'T IT!?!?!??! people maybe need to put their cards down and read more books....:P
Yeah, Tolkien ripped the Hobbit from Beowulf pretty obviously, but I'll bet you a zillion of anything you want that the Hobbit movie will be better than the Beowulf movie. You may define what 'zillion' means. Beowulf is good in its own right, no lie. Tolkien just made it even better.

Red tutor!
Great in any dragon-themed deck. Not too many cards combine tutor effects with being a dragon.

It's a TUTOR, and even more, an ARTIFACT TUTOR, in red of all colors. I know it makes a lot of sense flavor-wise, but this breaks the color pie even more than Planar Chaos and New Phyrexia together.
It's a nice creature to play - a 4/4 flier for 5 is a bit underwhelming, but playable. Just make sure not to tutor anything you desperately need, because if it gets bounced or exiled your trinket gets lost forever.

I have caused so much stress and grief with this guy it's not even funny. Forget the fact that you're essentially getting a free tutor for a sec.. I run 2 of this in a deck with Shimmer Myr and a few other decent artifacts and one of em isn't even THAT good, but of course your opp will think, scratch that, KNOW that it's something insane and what that does is.. 2 things actually. 1. Gives staying power based on sheer fear to a 4/4 flyer. And 2. Even if 1 somehow can't happen (ie- your opp is facing death if he's not removed), it makes them fear what's coming next and they know you (more than likely) have the mana to play it at that point. When I have shimmer Myr out (who's really a bluff to be dealt with keeping my other guys safe more than anything else), it's almost always the same case, my opp sits there saving his/her mana to try and bluff me into thinking that they have some sort of instant counter/artifact hate magic just waitin! The funny thing is, I almost ... (see all)

This is a red Air Elemental with a tutor that suits an aggressive strategy, in aggressive colours. What's not to like? 4/5

A solid flyer with a tutor effect in a color not know for having any tutors. That alone makes it good, and it also has fun flavor to it. Well worth considering and a good card all around.

What would happen if you flash it back and forth from your hand, if it died would you get all the exiled artifacts?

So good. I really like the card. Some people say it breaks the colour pie, and it sort of does, but it definitely doesn't break the flavour of a dragon.
For me? I use it in my Tajic EDH deck which features a ton of board wipes (to abuse his indestructibility) and essentially turns my board wipes into a tutor effect. It also allows me to tutor out powerful equipment for Tajic, carry equipment while it's alive (and fly with it), and enables battalion.
5/5 from me. It's not that strong, but that's the point. It's good if you make it good.
