This card seemed.... unnecessary.

Yeah this cmc was shaved down by 
because its a mythic.
Its stronger then baneslayer angel, because it can easily do some damage without going out of your way to protect it. With baneslayer at least they have a chance to remove it before any damage is done.

Wizards is completely destroying Standard. Cards like this, Thragtusk and formerly Baneslayer Angel make me want to quit playing Magic altogether. The game used to be play-to-win, but has now turned into PAY-to-win. In other words, 10 years ago, you would get great cards across all rarities (who could forget commons like Wild Mongrel, Mogg Fanatic, Trinket Mage, Disciple of the Vault and Lantern Kami?), and players would really need to think on which cards to incorporate and what combos to create, often making pretty competitive decks with a low budget. Nowadays, that is no longer the case. Commons are generally awful and completely unplayable in tournaments, and uncommons often fail to impress too (Wizard's latest, Gatecrash, is a shining example of this, with just a handful of commons and uncommons raising an eyebrow). Nowadays, if you wan... (see all)

Where others may see an exceptional dragon I see a changing landscape wherein all creatures are undercosted and overpowered; a Standard where the best creature removal still just isn't good enough to deal with the fury of a 5-mana hasted dragon; and a game that races ever closer to oblivion and obscurity while it tries to entice its players with golden carrots in a false bid to stay relevant in a world where other games are cropping up, and other developers are realizing that to be good a game doesn't need to speed toward the ever-increasing aggro turn 2/3 Standard deck win.
This is a good creature--but so were many other creatures that were undercosted and overpowered. But I'm sorry: for me, the game isn't about rushing toward the finish line--and it's never been. Therefore, if a creature comes along that blurs the lines between 'chase mythic' and 'RDW staple' then we reach a point where decks must have this, or any card like it, to compete.
This card is good, but I don't want good... (see all)

I already have a spot in a currently made dragon blitz deck ready and waiting for him. Just gotta get my hands on him.

could top out the curve of rdw
I wish it did 2 damage though so it could kill delvers. 1 damage is so...underwhelming

Baneslayer Angel just got reprinted as a Dragon. I'd be way more excited if it weren't so egregiously expensive.
