Kind figured people would want to see this, as I haven't seen it before until I was browsing. Looks like February's promo? I think it's important to note that it's a dragon, and by the looks of it, an Abzan one, or maybe a Sultai one, judging by those fangs! It looks like a bearded dragon or rattlesnake with wings. Let's hope the rest of the dragons turn out as cool as this.
Definitely a Sultai dragon, as he's burning (or rather, disdainfully stroking?) an Abzan Banner.
Odd flavor since Banners cost 3, but very cool art and still pretty good flavor outside of mechanics.
I thought I read a while back that Disdainful Stroke originally read: "Counter target spell with converted mana cost 3 or greater." but was deemed to strong. This art could have been commissioned before they changed it.

Seems quite possible, considering both images show a Sultai clan member 'countering' an Abzan banner. No doubt if it could counter a 3 mana spell that would be ridiculous, countering both coursers and common removal as well as Rhinos and Whips.
Interesting note to make though, very cool.

And yes, it is likely a Sultai dragon. The fangs are very pronounced and it would be odd for an Abzan dragon to cast a blue spellé
That art really is dope, though.
