I am a little bit underwhelmed... I mean. For 6 mana you get a 5/5 flier with the potential to get it to a 6/6 for and an extra combat turn.. Can someone please tell me if my opinion that this card does not deserve to be a mythic rare is misguided?

Uh, yeah it deserves to be a mythic. Multiple combat phases on a beatstick with evasion that gets stronger? Very powerful.

You do realize Dethrone triggers multiple times, unlike Monstrosity?

If i attack with a 6/6 then you do realize that that person's life total will most likely be below mine at the point so really it only probally triggers once...

Doesn't it have haste? Even if not 6 for a 5/5 flier that potentially does half your life total a turn, in a limited format with not a ton of removal, is powerful

You realise you get the counter and the extra combat phase even if it gets blocked, and so the next turn is even bigger and swings twice then too?

@ Devonin that is a good point but i doubt anyone is stupid enough to block it if they are just going to get hit the extra turn for more.

Really? Getting hit for 6 then 7 is the smart plan instead of say...blocking and then blocking again?

The chances of having multiple flying blockers is not that high. Especially in limited.

@ Rhinowarrior
You're forgetting that Conspiracy is a multiplayer draft format for 4+ players. If your dragon takes the highest life total below yours, you hit the next highest player in the group.

Form of the Dragon needs to be printed in this set. Just go around dethroning eveyone.

Remember that rarity is there to keep the limited meta from being dumb as crap.
