Why is this card red? LOLDRAGONS isn't a good enough reason.
I'd say Hellion Eruption but that card had you sacrifice your own creatures rather than let you destroy opponent's creatures...
I know red can destroy all creatures but that usually also comes with destroying all lands and maybe something else.
That is an insane stretch.
No more insane a stretch than Curse of the Swine was. In fact, since Mogg Infestation exists as precedent, I'd argue it's much, much less of one.
As for how good it is, I don't know. How often is your opponent going to have a field where turning all their guys into 4/4 flyers with haste is the preferred option? It's more likely to be used as a finisher for some R/G ramp deck that wants to turn its Elvish Mystics into useful beaters T4/5. Limited, I'd argue this is the most "LOL I WIN" card revealed so far, as any ground stall immediately becomes 12-16 to the face. Giving the dragons haste AND evasion makes it way more dangerous than Hellion Eruption ever was.
Oooh i love the art.
not sure how useful this will be but i would love to just make a dragon tribal deck with this.
Pretty sure this will be a dollar mythic.
i can see a gruul ramp deck with this as one of the finishers.
Though i think Hour of need is much better.
Well, people wanted a monocolored dragon mythic. This...sort of counts?
For whatever it's worth, this also triggers Heroic lots, if there are any Heroic effects worth hitting even if the creature under it is destroyed. (First thoughts were Anax and Cymede or Phalanx Leader, but their pumps don't hit the incoming dragon tokens.) Also, Battlefield Thaumaturge. Other than that, if the translation is correct and it's each targeted creature rather than each destroyed creature, then gods and Fleecemane Lion and such could generate a dragon without being removed themselves, so I guess that's something?
Use this with Dragon Tempest. Have say 4 creatures to sacrifice, putting 4 dragons into play. This triggers dragon tempest four times for four damage. Thats 16 damage to face and you still have four hasty dragons.
Ohhhhh. That's a nice little synergy. Like a standard version of Valakut/Scapeshift, almost. All of that damage at once out of nowhere.
It does count. This is the card I wanted and expected from a set like this. After the mostly off mythics in power-level and flavor this one stands alone fending off the night of poor design.
Well said. This card alone has made up for most of the other monocolored mythic garbage in this set so far (Except the white one, which is cool).

We also got Dragon Fodder to feed our Assault Force. There might actually be a token combo deck buildable around this, although Thoughtseize does exist.
Eh, it feels rare to me. In fact, I think that this statement seems to be applicable to allot of the mythics spoiled so far.
To me it's red's dragon version of Entreat the Angels which is a mythic. I do agree that most of the mythics for this set seem to be rare-like though. It's easier on everyone's wallets this way though.

You dun messed up now. Never get in an argument about the color pie with Jivanmukta.

Well Entreat was a bit different, since you didn't need to have creatures around to use it, so I feel that it was significantly better on net. But yeah, I guess it is nice that they will be cheap, of course if there is not sufficient value in the set, people will not buy it and then cards like Ojutai's Command end up prohibitively expensive.
YES. A MYTHIC FROM THIS SET THAT I GENUINELY LOVE!!
GET IN MY PROSSH DECK!!!!

It's a bend but it's a Dragon set
You know what's worse than people who think rules are not to be observed? People who think that they should never be broken
Actually, seems sort of good as a finisher or sort of a one-card combo. I could see a janky variation on the temur combo deck really making use of it. Green gives you ramp, red gives you Dragon Tempest, blue gives counterspell protection and Battlefield Thaumaturge. Temur Ascendancy lets you win with hasty dragons or draw into it, or you could run the sabertooth combo.
Would also work with the new Kolaghan or any of the old dragonlords (particularly old Kolaghan), or as a finisher in Big Red. Red decks do tend to produce a lot of 1/1 tokens after all. And in extreme cases it can be used as removal combined with either Ugin or a next turn Crux of Fate. This isn't Dragonstorm, but still seems like the best way to abuse Dragon tribal synergies.
This is an ok card, but I'm not stoked on the monocolor mythics of this set at all. I'm sure most of them will find a home somewhere but I'm crossing my fingers I don't pull any.
Red does not destroy opponents (nonwall) creatures without damage.
You're too focused on the "Destroy" part and not focused enough on the "Becomes a dragon" part. Turning a creature into a dragon has to be the coolest way a red spell can remove a creature. I don't care if it says destroy, exile, guillotine, shank, kill it with kindness, or whatever. Dat became a dagron nao- That's all you need to know.
