Rocospherus Rumblehoof4GW
Legendary Creature - Elder Dragon
Flying, Lifelink
During your turn, each creature you control with power 2 or less has Indestructible, and each creature with toughness 5 or more has Trample.
At the beginning of your combat step, you may put a +1/+1 counter on target creature you control.
2/4
While some dragons prefer their breath, tails, claws, fangs, or wings to engage in combat, Rocospherus has one of the most devastating attacks in history, using only his humongous mass to drop and roll into enemies. During the Blood Age, many armies failed to take Ironwall Fort, but a single roll from Rocospherus was enough to open an entrance (and an exit!) in its reinforced walls.
Kaustix Formulei3BR
Legendary Creature - Elder Dragon
Menace
Whenever Kaustix enters the battlefield or attacks, exile the top 2 cards from your library face down. For each card exiled this way, you may look at it anytime, and cast it from exile if it targets a creature with its same mana value.
3/5
Kaustix's wings are just two charred stumps, due to a failed chemical experiment in his youth. His skin is marred by countless accidents through the ages, but those scars allow powerful light to shine from inside his body. Kaustix has developed complete control over his 13 stomachs (and many other associated organs), allowing him to store and mix complex chemical concoctions on the fly. This means his Dragon Breath (or Puke, in many instances) is the most flexible: acid, smoke, molten materials, or any number of poisons can be manifested from his mouth, after a good shake, of course.
Cantaphina Wanderstroll4RG
Legendary Creature - Elder Dragon
Flying
Whenever Cantaphina attacks, scry 2.
You may look at the top card of your library any time.
You may play the top card of your library if it has a subtype not among permanents you control.
4/6
No being has seen more of the world than Cantaphina. She has circumnavigated the world multiple times, experiencing a huge amount of cultures and beings (and tasting them too.) Her speed is legendary, as is her singing voice. She hasn't been seen in many years, but that's par for the course, she's known to disappear for decades at a time. What is weird, though, is the woman who arrived at Viperdale claiming to be her, and trying to set up an expedition to "get her body back."
Diamatrixa Vectiline3WU
Legendary Creature - Elder Dragon
Flying, Vigilance
Whenever Diamatrixa enters the battlefield or becomes the target of a spell, learn.
Whenever you discard a Lesson card, draw a card and gain 4 life.
4/4
As the dragon of Innovation, Diamatrixa's motto is "Forget what you have learned" (in other words, discard your lessons... learning has a discard option after all.)
Diamaphina was the runt of the litter, being born without the scales that protect a dragon's body. She kept away from danger during the Blood Age, studying crafting deep in the dwarven mines. During this time, she forged her own set of armors, with designs that rival Rocospherus' defense, or Cantaphina's speed. Using her battlegear, and many siege weapons of her invention, she took upon herself to finish the last remnants of the Blood Age, ensuring the continuing peace of the new era.
Uvenezis Glintscale4UB
Legendary Creature - Elder Dragon
Flying, Ward 3
Whenever Uvenezis enters the battlefield or attacks, each player creates a Treasure token. Then put a Credit counter on up to one Treasure. When that treasure leaves the battlefield, its controller loses 2 life and you draw a card.
4/4
While many dragons prefer a solid hoard to sleep on, Uvenezis has a more enlightened view of treasure. After all, gold's price may go up or down, but an investor's power to shift assets allows him to always come up on top. He heads the Goldspire Bank, the biggest consortium in the world, and secretly owns its closest competitor, Platinum Seal Credits. Although he ate many a king during the Blood Age, the fear of his antagonism among the wealthy has never been greater. (As immortalized in the ominous ballad, "The Called Out Credits of House Tavaquesk.")

1/3
I really like a lot of these particularly the two Vectiline cards. I was wondering though if Rumblehoof would be better served borrowing exalted as a mechanic? It really captures the idea of the team working together and getting behind one strong champion I think.
Rumblehoof has a problem with their ability. Tracking p/t to grant an ability doesn't function properly in the rules. Because you are granting an effect in layer 6 while checking for the results of calculations in layer 7 the game kind of falls apart and ceases to function.
Is it your intent for Wanderstroll to always be able to cast the few instant and sorcerys with subtypes? Not really a problem I just want to know it its intentional or not.
Bamroot, haste with the etb or attack trigger is quite significant. It might be too much.
Stexi might be an excessive amount of color fixing in those colors. Just counting and sacing artifacts(while still making treasure) gives it similar flavor while keeping a lid on the strong synergies this color combination has with artifacts.
I love these. Not sure about the mechanics (I’m not a good judge), but I love the flavor of all of these. It’s a little weird that the Dragon of the School of Athletics is apparently obese—or is the idea that he’s a sumo wrestler?—but they all have personality and individuality, and at least a few have hooks for storylines. The students don’t come with descriptions, but I like the variety of creature types on display (and the presence of a Vedalken makes the Kor in Strixhaven seem less out of place). I hope you do the Deans eventually.
I really need to make a campaign or fic or something involving both schools.
