Even in an ideal scenario where you actually get to cast 10 mana's worth of spells off this thing, it still feels like a dud. A 10-mana spell shouldn't have to be random.

What I find offensive is not that Wizards is endeavoring to make the game more accessible, but the attitudes of elitists who act as though no one of any age should show their face in the Magic public without first having mastery over the complexities of the game.
That's pretty clearly Grimlock from the Bayformers movies.

Just how many unrepresented Dragons are left? They never made a card for Thraxes...

Has the term "hellkite" been retired in favor of "regent"?

This card is an absolute house in multiplayer. And it's a valid target for Sunforger! (Incidentally so is Utter End, another card I can scarcely believe is an instant.)

Seems like bulleting could make certain Commands unreprintable. Incendiary, Profane, and Primal already strained their respective text boxes, and now they would add line breaks?

Didn't they say that they won't have a morph creature that can face another morph then reveal and survive for a cost less than 5?
I really do not understand their thought process on this at all. You're already spending 3 to put the morph on the field. Why is it reasonable to ask you to spend an additional 5 just to have something that can outfight a 2/2?

I bet someone was sitting on this "slow attack" design for a long time, just waiting for the proper context. It makes me chuckle even though it's clearly a terrible card.

It says a lot about how crap Red is that a 2/2 for 1R is given a drawback.

Sarkhan seems kind of awesome. That's a really solid +1.

Just saw the Dragon-Style Twins. That card has "Intro Deck rare" written all over it.

How can they justify Morph on this plane? I hope they've come up with an alternative to the "clay spiders" that represent unflipped critters.

Ugh, I just hate the concept of a Mythic that requires other Mythics to do anything. There are way too many other card games that already do that kind of crap.

That's a clever way to bring temp mana boosts back into Red. Of course we probably won't see another card like it for ten more years.

LOVE this card! Might take the place of Wurmcoil Engine in a few of my decks.
