Target any number of creatures. For each creature targeted this way, destroy it. It's controller puts a 4/4 red dragon token with flying onto the battlefield.

Okay, so Zurgo went from QB status to waterboy. I guess that's what he gets for threatening a planeswalker from another timeline who was on his way to the past to change the future.
I'm not saying Dromoka isn't a good card, because it clearly is, but I'm still disappointed because its not a very exciting card. Dromoka, the Eternal was my favourite FRF card, but this version is just kinda dull.

Dromoka is bad. No immediate impact for a 6 drop, unplayable. Bulk status for EDH.
This is the dumbest thing I've read on these forums since the time some guy said he equipped his Vampire Nighthawk with a Basilisk Collar. I would say having an unpreventable 6-drop hit the field that they can't kill on your turn is a "immediate impact".
Dromoka is really solid in EDH. I will make room in Trostani for this card, and the flavor text seals the deal, since it screams Selesnya, lol.
Zurgo is disappointing--more because of flavor than anything. Since he alerts Kolaghan's clan/brood, wouldn't he be better as a support card. For instance, he would be great as a Seize the Day on a stick, or something that gives all creatures haste and vigilance. While it's funny to see the weaker Zurgo, a bell-ringer doesn't logically seem like a fighter at all, and this wants to blitz in by himself rather than readying other creatures for war. I don't think this was well-designed or thought out.
Well I make my guess because of the story. Taigam was a traitor to the Jeskai, he went Sultai. In the new timeline, he is a high positioned monk under the rule of Ojutai and he treats Narset like a traitor. Also note that the Sultai were the ones who betrayed the khans and supported the dragons during Fate Reforged.
I hope you get your general. He feels like he will influence rebound (judging by a dashing Zurgo and an exploiting Sidisi.
Hmm. Dromoka's better than her younger version, but not by as much as some think. I'm paying 1 more for +0/+2, uncounterability, lifelink, and City of Solitude, but losing the bolster 2. I'm not convinced that it has enough board presence to be worth it, and to be honest, the City of Solitude effect and uncounterability aren't as useful in the days of Thoughtseize/Despise and fair counterspells as they were in the days of Forbid locks and instant draw everywhere. Just doesn't feel as dangerous as the other two so far.
So if Zurgo is this universe's Biff Tannen, does that make Sarkhan George McFly?

I guess he'd be a mix of George and Marty since he's the one who is actually traveling through time and- HOLD IT.
Hold it right there.
Ugin is Doc Brown.
That. Is. Perfect.
On another note I'm not sure why so many people seem disappointed in Zurgo. HE'S A RED 2/2 FOR ONE MANA WITH A NEGLIGIBLE DOWNSIDE!! That's huge and more than enough to warrant his legendary status imo.

Flavor-wise I wish Zurgo granted haste to dragons instead of having dash (which would mean Dragon Tempest probably wouldn't exist.) I do like his standing now, as he isn't in a position to become a dominant force in a world ruled by dragons.
Power-wise he's great, hard to complain about a 2/2 for 1 with an upside. A nice cube card at least, and if some version of RDW is in standard I would expect to see one or two.
Man, "better all around Spineless Thug" is a red thing now? Either way, I only have one thing to say, gg?
Dromoka looks big. If I remake my Treva lifegain deck, she'll have a spot. And I certainly can use the "no counterspells for you" mentality. (Though I prefer Teferi for that.)

Card advantage is not the same thing as card draw. Something for 2B cannot be strictly worse than something for BBB or 3BB. If you're taking out Swords to Plowshares for Plummet, you're a fool. Stop doing these things!
I didn't say anything about Zurgo, especially not me liking him, his story or his parents. (So much for seeing what you want to see. Sometimes you even see things that aren't there in the first place.)
I just commented on the UR being a bit dull this time - from a "readers who what's to read something interesting" - point of view. I haven't read anything about Zurgo, and if you say it's like Narset, I am quite happy I missed it.
That was my bad. Thought you were Saandro. My point wasn't that it was a thrilling story, just that it establishes that she has at least as many emotions and motivations as Zurgo.

I'd pay good money for a dragon token with flying red hair.
"The gingers are attacking! Everyone, get down!"
Berserker simply gets Zurgo's job done better - and the lower dash cost is a bigger upside. Firebreathing seals the deal.
Flavour win, but honestly not too excited about actually playing it.
