Has anyone looked closely at the picture? top right it has two arms opposing each other, then closer to the head it has another pair of arms. then there is a single arm going in front of it. WTF? does this thing have an arm in the center of its chest or something? Weird. Maybe the artist lost track, as it looks like the lone arm is supposed to be the opposite of the one to it's right, but the base of that matches a different arm.

@achilleselbow: It's the only proper mono-green dragon , the already mentioned Jugan, the Rising Star got spirit form.
anyways, red has many dragons, my fave is flameblast dragon , white have some but Alabaster Dragon is in my opinion the only one whose ability is nearly modern (excluding eternal dragon which is also a spirit), blue have mist dragon and Quicksliver Dragon, and black have catabomb dragon and Ebon Dragon ..
I'm waiting Steel Hellkite for the colorless one, sorry Draco and Clockwork dragon :D

@Technetium
Off-color abilities can often bump a creature up another {1} or so. Even if it's not all the same, flying is so rare in green that it makes sense they'd tack on an extra point.
More importantly though, it's part of a 4/4 dragon cycle:
Pearl Dragon
Mist Dragon
Catacomb Dragon
Volcanic Dragon
Canopy Dragon

Awesome common. Pretty good uncommon. Sad rare :( I guess green is desperate for flyers though.

Only had flying to fit it into the cycle. Could have had another ability instead, and not lost Trample when the other ability activates, or had the other ability as a constant ability.

Is this the only green flyer that isn't a chump bocker?
Edit: Apparently not. Uktabi Drake, Flailing Drake, Bounteous Kirin, Ifh-Bíff Efreet, Jugan, the Rising Star, Killer Bees, Kyscu Drake, and Leaping Lizard. Looks like the Kamigawa ones are the only playable examples though.

Love the idea, a great way to give green some flying and quite flavourful
Me-"1G- now my green 4/4 can block your flyer"
Them-"Hey! Wait, what? Did not see that comming"

It's pretty weak. 4/4 for 6? IN GREEN? Even before the modern power creep, this should have been 5/5. If they insisted on keeping this cycle of dragons 4/4, it should have had something else besides just trample.
