@ignaeon:
Sorry to burst your bubble, but Bale doesn't go with Mage Slayer any better than any other power 6 creature. Bale's ability triggers through combat damage, that is, when he himself lands a strike on your opponent unblocked or through trample. Still, it's 6 damage almost guaranteed to slip through unless prevented.

Looks like this guy was tailored to counter that Army of the Damned. Along with Blasphemous Act. And a lot of other things in that set, actually.

Balefire Dragon=Inferno Titan^2
He costs 1 more for flying instead of firebreathing and deals five damage (pending alteration) to every creature the enemy controls...even Thrun the Last Troll and other hexproofers.

For an obligatory dragon it could have been a bit more...scary. I mean sure setting everyone on fire is nice but dragons don't have to feel this generic do they?

I don't think even Harry Potter can kill this thing...

Wow! One of the few dragons that makes me think a non-Dragonstorm dragon deck could work! Far superior to Ancient Hellkite!

To all those who say this card is unplayable, something is wrong with you..
A dragon that can wipe out the board clear if left unchecked.. Swiftfoot Boots will make a good footwear for this dragon.. Red is a leading mana-ramp color in standard these days, a turn two of this guy (Infernal Plunge - Geosurge yo!) is a hell for your opponent if unanswered might even be turn one with Memnite around.. And with Assault Strobe and Fling in standard, this will carve a hatred in your hearts the following weeks and years..
A nice addition to dragon clan, and a great art for a dragon in Innistrad.. Seems like the art looks more of a vampiric dragon to me..

As a passive EDH player (commander will never catch on), I was using my 5 colour scion deck against a token deck that just made infinite tokens with a ghave, doubling season and ashnod's altar.
My opponent laughed in my face and declared I should just quit then.
I had one creature out (my general), and he was at full.
Luckily he had never seen this innistrad bad-@$$
scion tutored for it, and my draw for the turn happened to be a sword of kaldra.
Guess who rage quits next turn :)

nobody's saying this isn't a good card. it's just that, well, it's been done. not this exact thing mind you. but the 'feeling' has been done before. this card is boring.
