Its saids “each upkeep” that means it’s another Verdant forceeffect
and the pay 10 life thats Basicly reset and my kenrith, the returned king can laugh at that cost because of the white ability and can be reduced to only WW with a couple of cards
While I like the GB life gain theme as something new, not feeling the legends. Hopefully the commander deck offers something more.

Considering is lifegain themed, it's not the hot crap i expected
The card is good, i'm a little sad that is only a 4/4 but everything else is nice

How i feel about competitive players and casual players in EDH: The competitive are german tourists, the casual are italian tourists, both in a italian beach. The italians asking themselves "why are the germans here?" make a legitimate question, the answer is because the beach is beautiful, no matter the country you came from. The italians wanting to ban the germans are dumb, because if the germans pay for their stay and follow the rules like everyone else, they have the right to be in the beach. Hovewer, if the germans started to ask themselves "why are the italians here?"... they would be dumb as hell.
You're pretty much getting a 4/4 flying token generator for 10 life if you think about it that way. That's pretty insane. Leaves up mana for countermagic/hexproof/indestructible effects should they try to do something afterwards.
Love it.

Needs lifelink on its own. The 4 life wouldn’t pay for/mitigate completely the untap ability, but would help considerably. Kinda like Griselbrand’s lifelink helps pay for its card draw.

Lifelink is exactly the problem ability that cards with these life payments should not have.
Its what makes them broken.
Griselbrand withotu lifelink could even be a reasonable Magic card.
Cool design. On one hand, 7 mana isn't as much as one would think, as Sultai Ultimatum can attest, and if you have 11+ life when she drops, doubling your mana instantly means you can Alrund's Epiphany or Emergent Ultimatum or just protect her with counterspells and that's probably GG right there.
On the other hand, she's pretty vulnerable, your opponent can respond to the untap trigger with a kill spell and if she ever drops while you have less than 10 life... well she's just a big dumb Verdant Force on wings.
Seems like a powerful card for a specific niche that requires more support than it first seems. And honestly, I think that's a good thing. The fact she's very powerful in Commander and a Golgari card that isn't about filling your graveyard for profit is also great.

This is my favorite Dragon in terms of abilities, but my least favorite alternate art. It looks more like a weird horror or Swamp demon thing than a dragon. Which is a shame, because the other full art dragons are Gorgeous.
For the art i hoped for something less "wither" and more "bloom"

How much is 10 life worth to you? Beledros Witherbloom offers tiny pests, and large rewards for all the lifegain his college does.
(Looks like we did get a full-art Dragon of the day after all.)

Ironically this works incredible well in a blue based deck, with lots of counterspells.
Just slap this out, untap if needed and guarantee the opponent is never going to get out of the "lock".
Doubling your mana for just 1 turn might be enough to win on the spot as well.
Nasty enough, but once you are really low on life, it might not save you from losing.

still like it, will get a copy for sure ; this feels like a proper Mythic.

Basicly if you have something that can give you 10 life in play
for me it would be kenrith, the returned king with Biomancer's Familiar since you only need WW to get a refund and with a colorless source oh boy eldrazi displacer with the dragon
Same case as Krrrik
