This dragon was the centerpiece of my old skirk alarmist/imperial hellkite deck. The ability might as well be troll shroud; I don't remember having ever activating it once in the hundreds of games the deck saw. It's a deterrent more than anything else.
A great and original card with good artwork to back it up.

Why would anyone target this guy? They wouldn't. On his own he's sort of boring, but as a Scion of the Ur-Dragon target, he is AMAZING. The difference that being able to "surprise" people with this ability makes is astonishing.
Also, on its own, if someone targets its morphed side, thinking its gonna be big and nasty, you can, in response, pay its morph cost, then pay the redirect cost.

one of the best, if not the best blue creature ever. it's my win condition 9 times out of 10 in my hunting grounds deck. nothing beats my opponent's "awwww sh*t" face when it drops on his turn.

I aspire to have one of these as a pet sometime in the future.

looks almost exactly like a redder 9th gen wind drake. Different artists, too.

Wow, a blue dragon, with a cheap costing Redirect ability. Sweet.

Changing the target to something illegal counters the spell. So sadly Cloudshift can't be abused with this.

There are two times they'd target him:
-Before he's morphed (notice his morph is {U} less than his cost, and his cost to change targets is {U}. In response you turn this guy up and kill their guy with their kill spell.
-If he's the only creature on the battlefield or you're out of mana, he isn't safe.
Aside from tricks, this is basically bad hexproof, but that's not a bad thing. I'd say 3.5/5. He's not amazing but he is an on curve flying beater that will usually be tough to blast.
