Meet Piru, Chromium Rhuell's partner and the sixth Elder Dragon to survive the Elder Dragon Wars... until Dakkon stabbed her with the Blackblade, causing her to explode.
If they dont give me the full cycle i will write an angry letter to them.
Who are the other four Dragons?
Also, I feel like the mana cost could have been a flat 6 due to the heavy mana restrictions and the upkeep cost. It's kind of a big bumb card that's hard to do stuff with.
At that casting cost, I would rather pitch her to the graveyard then reanimate. At least your opponents have to consider a little more carefully when, or if, they should use removal.
I want to do something with this card, but it is the most blatant example of Wizards watching the secondary market this set. THis is a mythic in EVERY world where it's not about secondary market prices. Coffers is rare, this is mythic. if 'balanced for draft' is even ONE of the considerations, the dragon as hard to cast as an ultimatum is not rare

Project Booster Fun makes it less fun to open a booster.
Probably a dumb question but is the 7 damage this dragon does lifelink damage or is it not on the battlefield to have that keyword applied to the damage?

It does damage as it last existed on the battlefield, so yes, you'll gain 7 life per non-legendary creature this deals damage to.

I mean, the original elder dragon legends were all terrible so I can't say I'm surprised this one fails to impress.
All this dragon stuff is to go with the upcoming EDH dragon support in Forgotten Realms but like, the dragons so far in this set are all underwhelming compared to what we already have.

Piru is a prerevisionist character, the "sixth" named Elder Dragon aside from the original five. There is no cycle.
The Chronicles of Bolas short stories, however, speak about Merrevia Sal, who was from the first egg drop, and a sister of the original five. And then about dragons named Rubra, Ravus, and Lividus from the second Ur-Dragon egg drop, who were siblings of Vaevictis Asmadi and a partd of his savage marauding flight. All of them were killed in the fight with Bolas's armies.
So theoretically, we have four other names that might theoretically complete the cycle.

What an awful decision it would've been.
This feels more like a fringe card for EDH.
The original elder dragons from Legends / their new versions in M19 are the other five.
Per Fandom:
Lividus
Merrevia Sal
Piru ({R}{W}{B})
Ravus
Rubra
Why is this a rare? It feels borderline mythic for that cost and ability.

Its casting cost is to keep it aligned with the original Legends dragons it mirrors.
good i was gonna say i thought the lore said on 7 survived the elder dragon war
it's all 5 original elders (from core 2019) piru and whichever one from that list I guess.
i i guess the others of the cycle are dead i guess and while the war was going on.
I think Ugin is included in those 7.
oops lol right bola's brother

on the mtg wiki fandom page on “Elder”
during the elder war we do have 5 separate other names not named the time spiral dragons
(Piru included)
Lividus
Merrevia Sal
Piru
Ravus
Rubra
and of coarse the 5 most known elder dragons from core 2019
When I first read the name, I thought it would by some tiny imp or devil that deals damage when it dies.
