Rather decent Elder Dragon. I still feel that most of them are win-more cards instead of win cards... ANd i'd rather have land destruction a lot earlier than turn 7. Still, a decent card regardless. 3/5.
@WhiteyMcFly Best card comment ever.

Decent card. It's 6/6 with slight evasion (flying isn't all that evasive anymore) for 6 mana - pretty standard when it comes to legendary dragons. I find the ability pretty decent, but destroying mana starting on turn 7 seems slightly weak. Although in EDH (the only format where this card would probably EVER be played) turn 7 LD may be 'ok' - if you can somehow get him through for damage and keep him alive.
Generally though, I find him way too easy to deal with with the quality of answers availble in the formats he can be used in. In the White and Blue colors I would expect some defense on this guy - some sort of shroud, or deflection ability...something useful to keep him alive. In red...I'd expect it to be slightly more aggressive - laying a slow creature on turn 6 isn't what red does well. When I look at this card I can't find a place that he really fits...so that's why I give him 2-1/2 stars.
Honestly, when I look at this card I compare him to the other R/W/U creatures out... (see all)

I'd use Seething Song and the like to accelerate, as well as adding Steel of the Godhead for fun.

I dislike this card on principal; recurring land destruction is pretty much the pinnacle of "dick-move"dom.

This card is amazing in early game and terrible in late game, by late game your opponent probably has blockers/creature removal, and you would have to spend a lot of turns bringing down their lands even if you could get your dragon through, at which point its a normal 6/6 flyer for 6 mana. On the flip side, if you play it very early with mana accel and your opponent doesn't have a flying blocker, you can pretty much assume you just won the game. Its risk vs. reward.
