The multicolor theme is arguably the most
overused theme in all of Magic, but you can't
deny that when it returns, it brings lots of
powerful and fun cards with it. Predator Dragon
will be remembered as the creature that attacked
for 142 damage at Pro Tour Berlin, and probably
even more at people's kitchen tables around the
world. Decks based on Saprolings, Slivers, Myr,
and other creatures that like to swarm with
tokens have always been popular, and Predator
Dragon will undoubtedly be a popular addition to
many of those decks for years to come.

Predator Dragon
Constructed:
Well there is not much to say about this card
except to check out the Elves decks at PT
Berlin. Outside of those Extended decks this bad
boy can be played in other formats to. Standard
a little to slow for most of the format. Shards
block set up with a couple of Dragon Fodders and
maybe use Goblin Assault. Big dumb Dragon wins
games.
Casual:
A lot of good Dragons for a fun Dragon deck.
Limited:
Must have Dragon Fodder to make this guy really
work the best. Overall it is still a 4/4 for 6
flying and haste, which is very good on it's
own.
Over a very good Dragon card, that had a big
showing in PT Berlin Elf decks.

Nice card. Recently saw some play in ELVES!
decks during the extended tournament. I can see
this card doing well in standard but I can also
see it failing miserably. If this didn't have
haste it wouldn't see play at all. HOWEVER it
does have haste and that makes all the
difference. Even sacrificing 1 creature lets you
hit for 6, if you've got a few bitterblossom
tokens lying around this can make a big splash.
Speaking of which, seeing this is Fae decks
would really be interesting and not to hard to
pull off with today's mana bases.
In limited absolute bomb, the triple R could be
a problem but if your running red main defiantly
take it.
In casual put it in a Jund deck, sac some tokens
and swing for the win.
Constructed: 3/5 ?
Casual: 3.5/5
Limited: 3/5 (because of RRR)
*Note to everyone, my exams will be finishing
this Tuesday (Woo!) so I'll try to get some
Garage articles up soon after.
