Are you planning on playing an opponent or not? Seems like a lot of magic christmas land. Of course I don't play standard so I guess the format could be that weak.
That isn't weak nor is it MCL. R/G Devo Was running Xenagod for haste enable/power pump. He fell out of favor, but with cards like Whip of Erebos and Xenagod she could definitely see play.
For that prize you get several removals & an 8/8 Flying Trampler !
If id play Gruul, id definately consider this card as one of my finishers.
Also seems to be the best Dragonlord.
Bogardan Hellkite can damage planewalkers too. Spells or abilities you cast can damage planeswalkers instead of opponents if you choose. The hellkite's versatility and flash more than make up for the smaller body and only 1 more mana. (Seriously at this point in a game where you're tapping 7 mana for one spell it's only one more). I doubt a big expensive creature would be doing much in standard so it really leaves her in the EDH side of things.
This puts her in a strange spot. She's good but somehow not good enough for a dragon deck...

except you can't partially redirect damage from players to walkers.
if your opponent has 2 walkers with a total of 5 loyalty, with Hellkite you'd be able to kill just one...
with this, you can kill both.
With that shaman, she'll cost less, she'll come out very early in dragon decks. In mcl, she'll cost 3 if you have all the servants out and even if you only have one she then costs six, which is easy for gruul to get to.

i prefer Dragonlord Atarka The fact that she will arrive a few turns earlier & being +3/+3 & Trample is a big factor
Hellkite isn't in standard. This is a great finisher and can wipe up a board of goblins, Hornets, MoW elementals, or just finish off another dragon. Awesome value.

World Renderer is better with Xenegod. It is a 2 card combo that can kill anyone below 24 life. That is assuming there isn't a stormbreath or sarkhan already on the board.
I think she will see play in R/G monsters. That deck does have trouble with planeswalkers and is light on removal. Atarka is everything you need to shore up some weaknesses. Most walkers won't survive 5 straight damage and she can wipe out all the tokens from your opponent's outburst or hornet queen.
Seriously with all these dragons up in the air, the trample really plays an important role. As for haste, we have so many options. Dragon Tempest, Temur Ascendancy, Hammer of Purphoros. Dragonlord Atarka for what is worth, survives from burn spells and only vulnerable to spot removals. In an RG Dragons, I would play 1-2 copies only now that we have many other dragons to keep the pressure going and finally Dragonlord Atarka comes in and left unanswerable.

Temur Dragons seems strong now that we have Sarkhan Unbroken.

Also disappointing how one of the marquee cards for the new set is just a slightly tweaked version of an older card.
Modern : RG Titan Shift RG | RG Revolt Zoo RG | RG Ponza RG | RGW Naya Burn RGW
Legacy : RG Belcher RG
They do? I must have missed them.
Reprint Stasis!
Control needs more love.
