Ramos, Dragon Engine
Ramos was actually part of the backstory for the
Mercadian Masques set, though I don't recall the
details offhand. Mechanically, he's also a
callback (in the form of the mana he generates)
to the artifacts from that set that were named
after him. I like that his mana-generating
ability could theoretically enable you to cast
more than one multicolored spell and put a whole
lot of +1/+1 counters on him immediately to set
you up for a repeat. Even if you don't pull that
off regularly, though, he's a threat that will
very likely grow continuously and take out lots
of opposing creatures (and opponents!).
Constructed: 2/5
Casual: 3/5
Limited: n/a
Multiplayer: 3/5
EDH/Commander: 4/5 (easiest-to-cast five-color
general ever!) |

Ramos, Dragon
Engine (9/1)
Five color
commander, coming through. Ramos also aims to,
like The Ur-Dragon, power out your spells
faster. It's less "Dragon tribal", though, and
more just five color: Ramos gets bigger as you
cast spells, and you can turn his size into a
massive shot of mana acceleration. His body
isn't great until you get going, but he doubles
as a finisher and a way to put out that adorable
Progenitus (or end someone's game with Door to
Nothingness). He does a good amount, and I think
any five-color deck has reason to consider him
in either the one or in the 99.
