Super overrated card. I can't believe I saw this on a list of top 35 cards in EDH for white. It was totally boss in standard of the day, sure, but control back then only needed, well any creature really, to finish once it had drawn enough land and wrathed enough. It woudln't be played in today's standard. At this cost, it's really only good for grabbing a Plains, and there's plenty better ways to do that.

Not as good as it once was, but that's back before we had the modern card frame. Works with Astral Slide + Eternal Witness (this was actually an engine a world champion deck used to get his side of the table set up). As @BenderGameboy pointed out its a single card with at least 4 -relevant- abilities tacked onto it. There's a saying about magic along the lines of: The more solid options a player has with his/her cards, turn after turn, the greater the chance of victory. Eternal Dragon fixes/accels/thins during the early-mid game (possibly returning just so you can pitch it again) then saunters on into the battlefield after a few Day of Judgement and clocks your opponent in 4 turns. Card Advantage + Versatility = Winning!

I wish this guy was legal in Modern so I could play him in Living End.

Fun fact: this is the only card with the phrase "Dragon Spirit" on it that isn't from the Kamigawa block. It's also the only one that isn't legendary.

Incredible card! Useful no matter what point in the game. Planes cycling is great since regular counterspells don't effect it. He also can grab a shock or dual land in addition can come back and is a 5/5 flyer! Card advantage drooling! 4.5/5

It's not bad. Grabs a land early, later it because reusable if you're stalling out; then it's still a 5/5 finisher, which is a pretty typical size for blue or white.
Yeah it won't win the creature creep war, but it goes in a deck that answers threats and finishes with it's own, not a deck that needs to play the biggest/baddest thing out there.

The abilities work well in sink and I think it would be playable in standard today. Though It could use some power creep, either raise p/t or lower cmc. It doesnt need power creep to be playable though.
