There's not much not to like about this card.
Not only do you get two dragons for a very
reasonable price (especially when you consider
how threatening eight flying damage is), the
original has a lot of resilience courtesy of its
high toughness and of being a black creature. An
ideal late-game threat for control and mid-range
decks in Standard, and a certified bomb in
limited - your opponent might be able to deal
with one dragon of this size, but is less likely
to be able to deal with two (just watch out for
Resounding Silence).
Constructed: 4/5
Casual: 4/5

Broodmate Dragon
Constructed:
Jund type decks will probably not see alot of
play. But getting 2 for the price of one is a
hell of a deal. Now remember the token is only
red.
Casual:
This is a great Dragon for any Dragon deck. I
think I will use one in my Kiki-Jiki deck.
Limited:
Shards has alot of great rares for sealed and
draft. This one is no different. 6 mana is
fairly cheap for two 4/4 flyers.
Overall another great Dragon from Shards of
Alara.
Constructed: 3
Casual: 4

Broodmate Dragon
Creature - Dragon
Flying
When Broodmate Dragon comes into play, put a 4/4
red Dragon creature token with flying into play.
4/4
Nice card. Play it, beat with it, enough said. The ability to split
your force into two creatures does have its
benefits, such has being able to break through
stalemates for a vital few points or forcing
your opponent to waste 2 removal spells on it.
In limited its a bomb so grab it if your in Jund
or feeling daring and splashing 4 or even 5
colours. In casual its a 2 dragons in 1, whats
not to love? Because it generates 2 creatures I
think this may be able to find a home in
contructed.
