I know they shouldn't, but I wish they'd reprint the FTV art once. I love that art.

I do not really LIKE saying this, as a rather old gamer I'm very attached to Nostalgia. (24, and tbh, this game is intended to be accessible to 13 yr olds. This usually puts off everyone older than 16 that plays. :/ )

But Truth be told, this card is...powerful, but weak. For "Constructed" play, it's practically no better than many commons. For Sealed Deck or Limited, it certainly IS a win-condition, and *5* toughness is really tough to beat...but at the same time, every color has good ways to kill it. It has absolutely zero protection from removal, not a single clause or condition on it's abilities prevent it from dying to even the narrowest of removal spells.....EXCEPT for red cards that can't hit flying creatures ala Earthquake, but those cards are very often used as Lava Axes anyway.

The Dragon that started it all. In my eyes, still the perfect, balanced Dragon.

I have a feeling that dragons are going to be important in standard soon. I'm very pleased to see this reprinted! Back in the day you saved your Counterspells for this guy, and while there are better dragons now, he still isn't bad.

Well, he still kills you in about a turn or two with a nice, big pump. Perfectly playable.
