Currently overrated for being a promo card i guess.
Banding is actually not that useful since you won't get a band consistant only of flying creatures, which will make the dragon just easier to block as soon as he becomes part of a band.
Four mana for a tiny 1/1 flyer with a restricted pumping effect (also a typical red one which won't increase toughness) isn't impressive eiter.
Dragon Whelp is much more preferable to that one.

Not only is this the only Dragon that bands,
THIS WAS THE FIRST AVAILABLE MAGIC CARD.
Let that sink in. This noble beast was the first creature EVER PRINTED. And the first spell, the first Dragon, the first bander, the first CARD.

OK, I hate to be a real pain in the ass here- for the people who understand banding, you can skip this comment. For everyone else, observe:
Any creatures with banding, and up to one without, can attack in a band. Bands are blocked as a group. If any creatures with banding you control are blocking or being blocked by a creature, you divide that creature's combat damage, not its controller, among any of the creatures it's being blocked by or is blocking.
Alright, here's my problem. After reading this 12 times, I finally know what it does. The first 11 times I didn't know what it meant to 'divide a controller'. Here's my proposal for new banding text:
Any creatures with banding, and up to one without, can attack in a band. Bands are blocked as a group. If any creatures with banding you control are blocking or being blocked by a creature, you, not its controller, divide that creature's combat damage among any of the creatures it's being blocked by or is blocking.
God ... (see all)

It's really quite simple to use. You band it with a creature you like more, and assign all the damage to the dragon. The Dragon Whelp-like ability doesn't bother it, because it would die from the entire damage being assigned to it anyways.

One of the first promo card ever released (maybe the first one).

The guy with the spear is all, "Awh, what a cute wittle dragon!"
And then Nalathni Dragon is like, "How dare you! That is slander where I come from good sir!" and proceeds to breath fire on him three times.
