Art reminds me of Deathwing - just sayin'
I dig it though, it's pretty awesome.

He's decent bomb in limited. But even Kuldotha Phoenix is much better than this.

I like it in a red/white artifact deck.

Jet powered dragon.
He looks like a close relative of Hoard-Smelter Dragon.

i would play him as Haste makes up for the 7 cost, but would hate it in my opening hand. still much better than the 3.4 rating i'm seeing as of my post..

I demand to know where I can find a large print or at least a high-res picture of this guy!!
I don't see it available on Jason's website. q.q
High-res pic will be used as a template for truly awesome playmat. =D
Art: 6/5
As for the card itself, most of the time it will come out and swing for 5. 9 mana just doesn't happen that often. If it does live for one turn and you have at least 3 artifacts, it will be able to put out a truly disastrous amount of damage.
One thing to note though, is that Hellkite Igniter's 'artifact breathing' is very friendly to two-color decks, so I could see him being run in a Red/Green/Artifact ramp deck.
Card: 3.75/5 (basis being that 4/5 is reserved for cards that are efficient enough see competitive play. This guy's almost there, but he's just too expensive).

I took one look at him and said, he's got jets for wings. I thought jets are turbines and Myr Turbine would rock with this guy. Thanks Wizards.

someone please tell me his activated ability stacks? that is a question i don't have the technical expertise to answer.
example: if you have 2 artifacts out, and tap 1r, he will get +2/+0, correct?
can you tap another 1r and have it be a total of +4/+0?
this could be brutal with an artifact/red deck? Iron Myrs plus Pyretic Rituals could have this guy out on turn 4 (ideally).
