[DIS] MTG.com Preview: 13th April:Rakdos Pit Dragon
Here it is!
Flying and double strike for 4 mana!?!?!? Enjoy! DO NOT Image Leech. I can get the cards up...usually...without having to. As usual, keep disscussion on topic and non-spammy, lest you get your post deleted.

Ooo nice hellbent!
Flying is a bit expensive though... Nice in red aggro. Nice CC too.

Not terribly exiting for me. It will definately see some play in standard and extended. Looks nice.

Wow, something that Hellbent might actually be worth using for. Kinda like Shivan Dragon, but you have to pay for the flying which kinda sucks. Still, double strike will be a great ability with all of the removal that Rakdos is bound to have (I hope)
Thanks Oni!!!

aarg you put up your thread while i was typing mine...
should be a great finisher in RDW type decks, or mono-red burn, but i'm most interested to see if it'll see play in thresh.

I see Gruul eating this up. They need a cheaper flier, and this guy has double-strike!

I love it, if you have dumped your hand by this point, and that may very well be possible, this should win you the game if unanswered. I gotta add this to the picture of dread slag and avatar of discord in the tire swing.

only one dragon that mentions itself four times. well that explains why the orb hit five for dragon. Wow. Red and Red/black just got it's new best freind and if i ever needed a reason to play Rakdos outside of the rats and Lydzolia that would be it.

Kev Walker always has great art and the dragon itself isn't bad. Nice preview. Oh, wait, it's rare? Meh.

looks good, especially after the hellbent takes over, and something to sink your mana into after you have no cards in hand!!

Damn, that is seriously good. They are really pushing hellbent aren't they? With no cards in your hand it is essencially:
2RR badass First Strike RR: Flying R: +2/+0 until end of turn 6/3 Well, looks like we will see some great BR |

Well There is a nice, VERY NICE card with hellbent. And its mono red. Here comes burn deck for the win. Its so easy to throw into mono red burn its not funny.

Sexy. Possibly worse than It's hunted Cousin... but it has conditional Double-Strike. So that offsets any other complaints.
Cool Card.
