Hypersonic Dragon: Hypersonic Dragon 3UR R
Flying, haste
You may cast sorcery spells as though they had flash.
4/4
So, this dragon isn't just tech, he is a 4/4 haste. Do you know why Thundermaw Hellkite is so good? Because it has haste. Haste can be a game finisher because your opponent doesn't prepare for it.
Sure, he doesn't tap their flyers, but he also opens up some great options with sorceries. I am calling it now, he will be played A LOT. He will be the reason Izzet is a thing. An instant speed Divination, Mizzium Mortars, or Epic Experiment can be fantastic. It also opens up the option to Unburial Rites a Worldspine Wurm, just in case you want a 15/15 trample for 4 mana for some reason. With Shock Lands, 5 color or 4 color could be an awesome deck. Instant speed Lingering Souls, that sounds good.
The previous Hypersonic Dragon thread died because it was one of the first cards spoiled. People don't know how great it is! Discuss any cool ideas you have with this card. He has great potential.
MOD EDIT no more discussion of this counterspell. This thread is about the discussion of the real creature hypersonic dragon. It is not for speculating fake cards that should be made.

i tested jace tonight and its one of the worst planeswalkers. it never really does anything except make u lose. i suggest u sell yours for 17 each like i did.
then again on valakut
ROFL what? Valakut? The best card in standard is Jace the mind Sculptor
hm.... interesting.
Haters gonna hate on my jank decks.
all true except that you can't use rites on "Emrawurm"

He isn't bad, he just has stiff competition. Vorapede is a perfect example of this. Vorapede is the definition of a solid green creature, but he has yet to find a deck. Things are always changing, and maybe flinging instant speed Mizzium Mortars will be better than anybody expects. Who knows.
Either way; this card's name is Hypersonic Dragon. No matter what; it will always be a cool card.
I think you're grossly underestimating the power of tapping down your opponents blockers so you can swing with your two flipped Delvers and Thundermaw Hellkite for 10 surprise damage and win the game. Both cards are situational, in that sometimes they'll win you the game and sometimes they're just a decent, hasty body. The difference is that the scenarios where Hellkite's ability wins you the game are far more common than those where Hypersonic Dragon will win for you.

I think the trigger 'Shuffle ~ into your library' would still go off, and the Wurm would go from the battlefield into the library.
The reason you could instant speed recur Eldrazi legends, was because they shuffled the graveyard into the library, rather than 'shuffle this creature' into the library.
I can't believe anyone is excited about this card. It is absolutely unplayable. I wouldn't even play her in LIMITED. Easily the worst walker printed since the green elf one. Absolutely terrible.
The effect is solid but overcosted by less than one mana.
At 2UR 4/4 or 3UR 5/5 this would see play (at the former it would be a powerhouse).
How is it overcosted? Sorceries are sorceries for a reason. A lot of them would be ridiculous as an instant. A 4/4 Flying Haste body for 5CMC with THIS effect is NOT overcosted.

It's not overcosted. Compare with Falkenrath Aristocrat at RB2. Both have haste, but you're getting 3 points of toughness for 1.

With Dismember rotating out of the format, perhaps creatures with P/T < 6 would be able to shine. I hope Hypersonic Dragon is such a creature. It's an amazing ability, plus if it sticks around for a turn, turd goes down real fast
I don't think it's that dumb. Why not print a hard counter for only U, but make it a sorcery? Seems like the sort of thing that wizards would do, particularly if it's in a set or format that has multiple ways to give things flash.
Stuff like Leyline of Anticipation, Vedalken Orrery, Hypersonic Dragon would work nicely with it.

I'm not saying it would be a good card, mind you.
So you want a counterspell that's useless by itself?

When would you ever want a SORCERY speed counterspell?
I agree. A sorcery speed COUNTERSPELL? Seriously guys? Any card that ALWAYS needs another card to just function as anything more than a dead card is a TERRIBLE card. Plus, Nivmagus couldn't even eat it on the fly, IT WOULD BE SORCERY SPEED.
Why not a sorcery speed counter spell that cost U, but can be cast instantly on your turn. a defensive counter spell which can be combined with quicken effects to make it an offensive counterspell.
So without Nivmagus Elemental it's still useless? I.E, it's useless by itself.
Guys, stop a moment and think about it.
When would you ever want a SORCERY speed counterspell?
It just doesn't even work like that; first,(no nivmagus elemental interactions), to counter a spell it must be on the stack; second, at sorcery speed a counter can't counter anything, it must have a target; third, no that's not something wiz would do( for reasons see first two points)
