Whenever a creature you control with flying enters, it gains haste until end of turn.
Whenever a Dragon you control enters, it deals X damage to any target, where X is the number of Dragons you control.
Why is this card good?
Dragon Tempest is a two-mana payoff that punches way above its mana value in dedicated Dragon decks.
The first ability is nearly an afterthought but genuinely useful — your big fliers (especially Dragons) can swing the turn they land. The real draw is the second ability: every Dragon ETB pings for damage equal to your Dragon count. In a developed board, each new Dragon is a 4-5 damage burst to any target, which adds up fast across a turn cycle.
- Who wants it: Dragon tribal lists — The Ur-Dragon, Miirym, Tiamat, Lathliss, Scion of the Ur-Dragon. Anything with reanimation or repeated Dragon flicker (Sneak Attack, blink effects) abuses it brutally.
- Synergy note: Pairs perfectly with Scourge of Valkas, doubling your ETB burn into a reliable removal engine and even a wincon by sniping players directly.
Skip it outside Dragon tribal — without a steady stream of Dragons entering, you're paying two mana for a marginal haste-enabler. It needs density to matter.
