This dude rocks some socks off, the only downside to Mr. Dragon here is that you have to be playing 3 colors, too bad it isnt green so you can just fudge the BR part of its mana cost. :P

About the only fat monster in Alara block I would actually have any interest in running. I'm not into big creatures and they have to do a lot while remaining somewhat 'fair' to impress me - but six mana for eight flying power with no inbuilt protection nails that absolutely bang on.

I go first:
My turn 6 Flameblast Dragon, 5/5 for 6 mana.
Your Turn 6, Brodmate Dragon, 2 4/4's for 6 mana, you think it's game...
My turn 7, swing with Flameblast, pay 5 mana, kill 1 toekn with the damage you block, oh dear bye bye brrodmate
In short, Flameblast is better

It's card like these that made me glad when Jund rotated out. That multicolour cycle made boosters very bad, since each card only fit in certain special decks, and jund had too many overpowered cards with regard to effect compared to CMC. 2 flying 4/4's for 6 CMCis too much. Glad I don't have to face jund decks in standard anymore.

For 5 mana, you get Fusion Elemental, an 8/8, and that's pretty good for vanilla creatures, tbh. Mono-Green is creeping up to beat that old impressive 5-drop, but it'll be a while before he's actually obsolete. Broodmate Dragon is essentially an 8/8 for 6 six mana, -with flying-, that's more splashable than Fusion Elemental.
Certainly this was incredibly impressive from Alara Block through M11, though the Mythic Titans sort of shame it. If you're looking for a 'GoodStuffs' Creature and don't want to feel like a cheap jerk with Baneslayers and Thragtusks, but you need WAY more power these days than a piddly little Serra Angel, Broodmate Dragon is going to be a staple as a Creature Finisher in Control Decks for a LONG time.
Even after it appears it'll get Power-Creep crushed to death, the fact that it's two creatures, not one, is relevant enough to give it a longer lease on playabi... (see all)
