[@celebrim1]

Viashivan dragon dates from the period from about Dark to about Visions where WotC designers had decided that cards like White Knight, Serra Angel, and Shivan dragon were under costed. The result was an age of weenie decks that taught a lot of people about mana curves and tempo.

[@bluedestiny2710]

In addition to that, Viashivan Dragon actually has an alternate cost where you can summon it from your hand or library (im not sure the locations of where you can summon it) by sacrificing two very specific and overcosted creatures called Spitting Drake and Kyscu Drake. Both creatures are 4 mana 2/2 flyers, one for red (spitting) and one for green (kyscu), and can pump their power or toughness ONCE per turn, respectively. Wizards probably thought those 2 made it easy to cheat out Viashivan Dragon (i mean, you can get it out at turn 4 - 5 right?) and so they made it overcosted Edit: and the pump effect of Kyscu and Spitting Drake, apparently, STILL needed one mana of their respective colors to activate. I didnt even remember that part O.O Also, their summoning effect only searches from the deck ... so if your Viashivan Dragon is sitting in your hand... it probably isnt coming out O.O this... was a clusterfuck in design

[@SmugLookingBarrel]

Man, I kind of love the design of elder land wurm, how it's just happy resting and then if you disturb it by trying to attack, it gets really mad and comes and kills you. Maybe if it were, like... a 5 mana 10/10 with the same abilities, I would try and run it.

[@bluedestiny2710]

or maybe an 8/8 and prevented your enemy from attacking if it still had defender, yea I'd run it too! But yes, the design was great... execution was just horrid

[@jchadwick4918]

Man, even if it just had efficient stats, I’d probably play it in Arcades.

[@jamesgasik3424]

The creature had two issues. It came out in Legends, a set notorious for having no idea of balance, as it features some of the strongest and worst cards in Magic history at the same time. But worse, it was white, and finding a card that isn't Serra Angel that's good in white usually meant 1 or 2 mana cards. A lot of the cards on this list suffer from that problem; that blue dragon, for example- perfectly fine because strong blue creatures almost always had dumb downsides (other than the original Djinn). Or those artifact dragons; they hail from a time when Wizards was worried about the power level of artifact creatures that could be slotted in any deck. Boy how times have changed there, now the Eldrazi are probably the strongest creatures ever made and any deck can play them.

[@celebrim1]

@@jamesgasik3424 The times have changed, but not always for the better. While it was clear that a bump in creature power was needed in some cases, I think things have gone way too far now.

[@jamesgasik3424]

@@celebrim1 It would be nice if we could go back to an era where balance was an important concern, but that Juzam Djinn was let out of the bottle years ago, and he's not going back. If they created a lower power, well-balanced set, sales would probably drop. Let alone following up that set with several more that have the same design philosophy. As much as everyone gripes about overpowered cards, most people want to PLAY with overpowered cards too much to ever embrace a rebalanced game. Sure, maybe we're not quite at Urza's block levels of insanity now, but I'm sure you could easily think of 20 cards created in the last year that have no business being in the game (outside of gonzo formats like Vintage). And the odds are very good those cards aren't going anywhere.

[@atragonx7939]

Aww, my 12 year old self weeps for Elder Land Wurm taking the top spot. I loved that card. To be fair, when stacked against Force of Nature, it's not a terrible deal. We just didn't have all these high fallutin' ETB and efficient stats back in the 90's. My love of that card kept me warm when I was walking to school uphill both ways in the snow.

[@johncouzens5321]

Yip

[@obsplays5311]

I actually cringed internally. If you liked dragons it was this or Shivan back in '94. Loved the flavor on this.

[@rajamicitrenti1374]

7 mana for a 5/5 Trmple isn't terrible by any means in the grand scheme of what MtG looked like in the early days. Not great, and I'd argue even with it's downside, Force of Nature is a significantly better card, because 8 Power on a trampler puts a lot more pressure on a strong block, and is more likely to get a 2 for 1 or 3 for 1 kill out of a combat. And in the early days, creature damage was the main win condition, so the threat of letting ELW block and unlock could stop a lot of creatures from attacking and slow the game down. However, most of the major threats had some sort of evasion. Shivan Dragon, Serra Angel, and Hypnotic Spectre all have flying and were frequently win condition cards. Protection from a color and landwalks were far more common. So ELW is this big creature that doesn't stop the big threats of it's time, and has only become worse with age, as deck archetypes that don't depend heavily on creature damage have flourished. I was recently playing the old Microprose MtG PC game recently, and marvelled at how niche the usefulness of this card is for how much mana it cost. I had opponents play it against me several times, and I simply didn't care, because I was running a Black deck focused on small fliers like Hypnotic Spectre and Vampire Bats.

[@atragonx7939]

@@rajamicitrenti1374 oh, it's not GOOD, but I retain a strong emotional attachment to it from my youth. Don't worry, Elder Land Wurm; I still love you.

[@n3croticism]

ELW is still my favourite artwork in Magic. I love the concept of that huge dragon sleeping under the sand, and Hoover nailed it perfectly. That said, I never actually played it because even as a kid I knew it was bad lol

[@emperornapoleon6204]

Yes, the original Elder Dragons are not great, but I LOVE that cycle, and I used to play every single one in a five color dragons deck as a kid! Winning with one of them was so satisfying! Heck, casting just one of them was😂 I also used to play Firestorm Hellkite! I thought the art was awesome😂

[@calemr]

Malfegor: *Laughs in Demon Dragon*

[@bluedestiny2710]

Viashivan Dragon was probably costed that way bec Wizards thought you could use the combo of Spitting Drake and Kyscu Drake. Both are 4 mana 2/2 creatures with flying with the ability to pump their power (Spitting) and toughness (Kyscu) ONCE per turn... but you can sacrifice both to cheat Viashivan Dragon out of your hand or library if im not mistaken, similar to Spirit of the Night's alternate cost (yes, SotN has an alternate cost... and if you dont know... yea probably 95% of the playerbase doesnt even know about it so no worries XD ) Funny, many of the dragons who made this list I actually tried to use when I was a kid... like: ooh flying big numbers!!! If... any of you have been following my posts in these Bottom 10s list, you can all deduce I was as sharp as a marble back then -_- Except Elder Land Wurm... nobody likes Elder Land Wurm... (no flying >:( ) I was saved from using this monstrosity of a wur--- uh, dragon bec my then kid brain thought it loses defender until end of turn only and grandpa had to go back to bed after that fight or something! To give Firestorm Hellkite a TINY bit of slack, it CAN be used as a finisher, since it's STILL a 6/6 trampler with flying, making the damage difficult to stop. Back then, I usually just kept it for 3 turns at most ... and it usually be enough since it put my enemy in my burn range, or just kill him right out. However, even back then, there were a boatload of removal that could get rid of it, so it STILL wasn't the best creature out there. This same consideration can be given to Palladia Mors. I just didnt have experiencing using him

[@ScrapMetalPanda]

Can u explain sotn alt cost? I don't understand lol

[@bluedestiny2710]

@@ScrapMetalPanda Oh, Spirit of the Night can be cheated out of the deck, like Viashivan Dragon, by sacrificing three specific creatures. These creatures are: Feral Shadow: B2, 2/1, Flying Breath Stealer: B2, 2/2, B: this creature gets +1 / -1 until end of turn Urborg Panther: B2, 2/2, B: Sacrifice this creature: Destroy target creature blocking Urborg Panther The Panther has a 2nd ability where you can sacrifice it and the other 2 creatures to summon Spirit from your deck at any time. Tried making this happen... and believe me, getting three specific creatures out that are mediocre at best is NOT easy to do. I ended up just making a deck that cheat outs the Spirit via reanimation

[@ScrapMetalPanda]

@@bluedestiny2710 oh damn thats pretty rad actually fun mechanic thanks!

[@SkateDaBRD]

It would be interesting to see these lists only for cards that are modern legal or printed after a later set of your choosing. The creature power was significantly lower in the early days of magic as you often allude to, so it’d be fun to see what failures r&d came up with after creatures were a bit powered up.

[@gilmarsousa5943]

Or at least dont consider legends cards.

[@astuteanansi4935]

While that's true, these lists only include creatures that never had any competitive impact at all, and thus were bad even for their time period. Conversely the top 10 lists include some cards that would be awful in a modern deck, but were considered powerful back in the day

[@astuteanansi4935]

Firestorm Hellkite would've been somewhat reasonable if it just had Haste in addition to, or even instead of Trample. Teeka's Dragon would've ironically been better *without* flying. It's at the very least an artifact, which means there are and have always been a ton of effects to cheat it into play. The idea of slapping a Lure onto it and absolutely ripping an opponent's board to shreds and the opponent along with it sounds so cool, but the damn thing has flying which means that only like 10% of creatures can block it at all. What a tremendous letdown. The one strategy that would work great with it is made irrelevant by its own ability.

[@Ceracio]

My Animar deck sees it as "0 mana 5/5 Flample, Rampage 4", which is pretty nice, but as you say, it would have been SO much better without Flying.

[@PieBandit]

Was very surprised not to see Canopy Dragon or Lightning Shrieker on this list

[@tomscud]

Yeah I think lightning shrieker, in particular, could knock off some of the bottom cards on the list, which at least stay on the field after you cast them.

[@davidlundquist1979]

Lightning Shrieker is just Lava Axe with some potential upside, if you have a sacrifice outlet or your deck has any dragon synergies. Well, getting shuffled back into the library is an upside too, compared to Lava Axe. It can also potentially take out an opposing flier and do a couple damage to the opponent as well. It's nothing to write home about, but it's not horrible.

[@MaxAim]

The elder land wurm is really good flavour-wise. Probably would be a good card at 4 too.

[@frankvandorp2059]

I'm a bit surprised that the Dragons of Tarkir uncommon megamorph dragons didn't make it onto this list. I always considered those to be the most uninteresting dragons ever printed, at very low power level too. Six mana for a 3/3 flier with one extra ability, or ten mana for a 4/4 flier with that ability with a minor boost if you happen to have other dragons.

[@vinnythewebsurfer]

Favorite thing about exalted dragon is that a couple sets later (onslaught) they made exalted angel which for the same cost had 1 more toughness, pseudo life link, and had Morph without any other downsides.

[@bluedestiny2710]

I think you meant 1 power less, but other than that, yes I agree. Exalted Angel was a staple in a LOT of decks, including my Astral Rift deck where it was my main finisher! I do have a surprise finisher in the form of Krosan Behemoth (9/9 green creature with morph. Lets see what that prot. red creature can do with THIS one >:) ) that I like to use to troll people tho XD

[@lightbearer313]

Actually, Exalted Dragon is 5/5 whilst Exalted Angel is 4/5. But Exalted Angel is better definitely. You are probably getting Exalted Angel confused with Eternal Dragon which is 5/5 though for 7 mana.

[@hermodnitter3902]

So much great art here. I play Teeka's Dragon in my Zirilan of the Claw edh deck, since I thought he should have the Mirage dragons at his side. And I added Crimson Hellkite as well for total awesomeness!

[@T4N7]

Pallafia-Mors along side Scale Wurm were the 2 big baddies in the first deck I ever played

[@TheMajesticYak0]

I have a soft spot for the Elder Land Wurm from way back in the 90s. It wasn't particularly good even when it came out, but the game was slower and combat was the primary way to win, so having a 5/5 blocker worked as a deterrent if your opponent didn't want to wake the dragon and start getting hit with it. I think if the land wurm had only cost 2WW it might have been good enough to see decent play back in the day (compare it to the modern Stoic Ephemera, a 5/5 flying defender for only 2W that has to be sacrificed after it blocks).

[@matth.2916]

I'm glad I found these series! Very well-made videos and I like your analysis of the cards throughout. I do feel Teeka's Dragon deserves a bit of break here. While never competitive and awful by today's standards, it and Spirit of the Night (from the same set) represented a key step forward in Magic design with WotC realizing that big creatures with high casting costs should not have crippling drawbacks. The relative success of those cards - I'm sure people liked playing them, despite them being non-competitive - eventually lead to Akroma, Inkwell Leviathan, Triplicate Titan, and other such properly balanced big finishers with size and keywords. Instead of Teeka's Dragon, I'd probably nominate Nalathi Dragon. Horrible stats - a 1/1 flier with limited firebreathing for 2RR - and banding works poorly with evasion abilities, like flying. Another clunker is Tek. Dopey name - it's "tech," get it? - and it takes 1 of each basic land type to make it worth the cost of 5 mana.

[@Omenshaper]

Calling #1 for Zodiac Dragon Wow, the actual #1 is worse than I was expecting.

[@bluedestiny2710]

Zodiac Dragon at LEAST was recurring... so a threat that can come back again and again is still SOMETHING that can be a problem, no matter how HORRENDOUSLY inefficient it was... at least the card was all upside XD ... at least better than a WWW4 5/5 Trample with Defender O.O

[@Janshevik]

My girlfriend LOVES dragons. I had be collecting dragon cards and cards that mention dragons in their textbox (not all flavor or name text and all art related though) as a gift for her for the last 4 years. I have recently completed my collection except for Zodiac dragon. Its hard to justify buying a 500-1000 card thats so bad and is technically not on the reserved list. Maybe someday they'll do a secret lair zodiac for the new year or something. For those wondering yes I have all changelings (and all drakes) too. I even printed out the online or single exclusives like Sol and Prismatic dragon as proxies for her to use.

[@GacLosen6556]

Okay, so the only dragon I was iffy on was brimstone dragon. Yes, it's expensive and doesn't do much, but I play a mono-red deck that reduces the costs of all my dragons on MTGA, so I can reduce the cost of brimstone dragon easily. This card is basically a slightly stronger more expensive Volcanic Dragon, a card that has saved my bacon more than a few times. But like I said, I'm only iffy about it and I agree with everything you said about it. And a note on the elder shard dragons. All of them were reprinted in a Dominaria set that eliminated their mana upkeep costs and gave them all amazing abilities, but naturally, they're not mentioned here because they're good cards. Otherwise, amazing video, and I agree with you on everything. You earned a subscriber.

Oh, im surprised the Elder Dragon Arcades Sabboth and Mirage's Canopy Dragon didnt make this list Arcades Sabboth, for me, is the 2nd worse among the 5 dragons bec its WAY too defensive. It has an ability that gives your board +0/+2 as long as the creature is untapped and NOT attacking. Then, it has the ability to pump its toughness by 1 for W. At 7 toughness, how... Much more do you need unless youre using Fling or something? Then Canopy Dragon has Trample, G1: this creature gains flying and loses trample until end of turn... Making him the only Mirage Dragon with a drawback instead of a 2nd ability... and at 6 mana, GG4, and only a 4/4 body... Its not threatening anybody O.O

[@NizzahonMagic]

Arcades manages to avoid the list for me because it actually has a very real impact on the board right away, as buffing all your creature's toughness really matters on many board states. It is definitely bad, just not "worst dragons ever" bad. Canopy Dragon is also bad, but I think that having a somewhat passable body and the ability to have one or two evasive keywords makes it passable.

The list would probably be full of cards that DIDN'T score any points based on Nizzahon's scoring system and would probably require EDH / pauper or, like in his Minotaur list, some (or most) of the cards would be ranked based on his own experience as a player Most creatures with Rampage are overcosted for their statline. Teeka's Dragon, IMO, is one of the better ones already based on the cards I remembered with that ability O.O Edit: I checked Gatherer, and there are about 14 creatures with the Rampage ability: and there are TWO that MAY have seen play back during their time: specifically Gorilla Berserkers and Varchild's War-Riders. The berserker might be usable due to it's ability to force a minimum of 3 creatures to block it: giving it a +4/+4 buff if it's blocked... but a 2/3 with that ability, rampage 2 and trample for GG3 really isnt threatening enough to force a block ... and Lightning Bolt and Incinerate were a thing then The other is a 3/4 creature with trample and rampage 1 for R1. It comes with a cumulative upkeep of an opponent putting a 1/1 red "Survivor" creature token in to the field under their control. These 1/1s CAN get out of hand, but if you have a constant board sweeper or some way to use those creatures, this 3/4 is actually a VERY efficient creature even for today's standards

@@bluedestiny2710 pretty sure no cards with rampage have ever been good in pauper, which actually has a fairly high floor for card quality, comparable to block/standard.

[@gantzisballs]

As a lifelong Timmy player, this list warms my heart.

[@brendans1983]

I still havent figures out why Opportunistic Dragon exists. I've read it 100 times, that can't be what it does. I'm gonna go read it again... yeah nah, it does do what it says.

[@NizzahonMagic]

It is definitely an odd card. But a billion times better than every card on this list. It isn't even close to bad.

[@youtubesucksbutts]

I think Viashivan Dragon is better than Canopy Dragon. At least Viashivan flies on it's own power and might actually firebreathe someone to death someday. Canopy Dragon is just a 4GG 4/4 that you have to pay 2 to make it fly.

[@pauljimerson8218]

Considering how powerfully costed dragons are right now..

[@barigordstudios]

Venetian blinds cosplay ftw

The Goldspan Dragon Test

[@EidoEndy]

A bad card only cube does sound amusing.

[@TheRealmDrifter]

They're good dragons Brent

[@heath1948]

Number eight actually is an OK card Any dragon deck due to the newer ramp and things of that nature

[@ottovonbismarck7646]

Kinda sad that these cards have such good art. Makes me want to run them in my Scion deck souly cause the art is so good!

[@PokeBattlerJaze]

It's gonna be a Legends dragon isn't it? Like the original Nicol? Edit: I was wrong :D

[@bluedestiny2710]

During their time, they were still legitimate threats. Its VERY hard tp stop 7/7 flyers, esp ones with upsides. I do disagree that Palladia Mors was in the bottom 2. For me, its both Chromium amd Arcades Sabboth thats the worse. A Castle effect (+0/+2 on all your untapped, non attacking creatures) and pumpable toughness for W is very meh

[@sambojinbojin-sam6550]

Do not Google Bad Dragon for this video. Lol

[@CriticoMaldispostoGames]

Viashivan Dragon is not a bad card! You have to play with the obter two drakes

[@schlaackmusic]

Happy Friday, Master 'Hon! These dragons suck!

[@thezerowulf507]

Teekas dragon is still my favorite dragon

[@Grizzlyfate89]

I love brimstone dragon

[@creamskye]

I don't really get how brimstone dragon is worse than exalted dragon?

[@thomasallen3570]

Two portal cards on a 'worst' list. Isn't that the same as saying "water is wet"?

[@Joker-kp7ss]

To be fair, Exalted Dragon would be quite a limited bomb and shouldnt be on the list :P

[@MainTopmastStaysail]

Henge Guardian looks really nice in the old frame and really ugly in the new one.

[@robdostie192]

I thought #2 was the better of the 10 but it's definitely not good.

[@sad10promo]

Henge Guardian is most definitely not deserving of the spot number 2, considering you can get the cost reduced completely to 0........ 8:55 yeah it is funny... isn't it?...

[@fredouellet3160]

Love the top tens, but worst cards isn't as interesting. If you want to vary the good top tens, you could go for art, flavor text, artists, etc. I also love the deck history, it's fun to see how they evolved over time. Your research and explanation is amazing. Keep up the good work.

[@lucasmaicelilopes7057]

Teeka´s Dragon appears much better than number 4 and 5
