Very cool Dragon, very badass art. As said already, deathtouch is fantastic on this.

Sometimes, the art and colored frame really come together to make a beautiful card. This is one such card. Another is Fulminator Mage.

Oh, how I wish this was playable.

Play. Next turn: use a lot of that mana to blow away opposing creatures and eat them.

As cool as this guy is (what with his excellent art being all over the 2011 box and being a very flavorful card to boot), I can't help but feel disappointed by him. He's unplayable in constructed. At seven mana, red has Destructive Force, a card that has generated its own archetype. At six mana, red has a much better creature in the form of Inferno Titan.

Limited, of course is a different story. In one draft, there was a game in which I reduced my opponent to 1 life while remaining at 20 life, then he played this and defeated me two turns later. Having been blown away by him, I happily first-picked one in a later draft. In that particular draft, the only time he hit the field was on my opponent's side, having been discarded by a well-placed Mind Rot and subsequently reanimated by Rise from the Grave. Good card, but poor execution on my part- where this guy is good is not in an aggressive deck like the... (see all)

Awesome art, and as mentioned pretty sick with Basilisk collar. Man, I sure did love this in limited.

Basilisk Collar or Quietus Spike turn him into a field-clearer. Virulent Swipe works too, with the added bonus of him becoming an 8/6 for a couple turns.

Dragons are always brilliant to look at, but this card has potential if you have the mana so a geosurge combo would work nicely :-)
