I don't like Baneslayer Angel knockoffs, but I can't really complain at red getting a fattie on par with other colors.

An all around good red card. Mixed with enough burn or some black for kill, keeping reachers out of the way. Even better with white flyers, burn, O-rings, and Cloudshift. Hands down, 5/5

This may sound entirely out of left field but Tibor and Lumia EDH would rock with this. Tibor hates ground pounders forcing the enemy into the air and this making it pointless.

I have to retract my previous comment on the value of this card after evaluating how quickly you can get this out & do massive damage turn four with Restoration Angel while clearing out small flying threats.
Turn 1 - Land, Creature
Turn 2 - Land, Searing Pain 1R, Creature(s), Wild Guess RR
Turn 3 - Land, Infernal Plunge (funny card) --> Thundermaw Hellkite!
Turn 4 - Land, Restoration Angel
_______
Around 15 damage, not including the potential of Vexing Devil (4 damage), Goblin Arsonist (1 damage on sacrifice)...close to 16-20 damage turn 4.

I just noticed it said "Each creature" and not "Target creature". Holy crap.

I've heard my local comic shop owner call this "possibly the best dragon ever". And he could be right. Red has a hard time getting P/T equal to casting cost, which not only this has, but with flying and haste on top of it. Combine that with a neat ETB ability that can help tie down the field, along with no drawback, and you have a nice and efficient red beatstick.

Amazing with Kiki-jiki, Mirror Breaker. Control, in red! Then swing for the win.

*sigh* Another one of those mythics that do not feel mythic to me. I'm sorry, perhaps I'm just an incurable Timmy, but this dragon impresses me a lot less than, say, Furyborn Hellkite, even though this one may be competitively better.

Pulled this guy recently in a pack. Really want to hang onto him for my casual dragon deck (a couple of my friends play flying weenies and he would DESTROY) but also wouldn't mind $15-$20 for my $4 investment. First world problems.
