Rite of the Dragoncaller

Spellslinger payoffs have historically dealt in increments: a card off a cantrip, a point of damage, a scry. This one refuses to think small. Any instant or sorcery, no matter how cheap, adds a 5/5 flier to the board, which reframes the entire engine. A humble one-mana trick stops being a one-mana trick and becomes a five-power flying threat with a rider attached. The design trick is decoupling the token's size from the spell's cost: a Consider and a backbreaking X-spell each hand you the identical Dragon. That flatness is deliberate. It means the deck no longer needs its spells to win the game on their own, because casting them is the win condition; the spells are permission slips to build an air force. It answers the classic spellslinger dilemma of wanting to durdle and wanting to close at the same time, since here the durdling is how you close. The price is steep at six mana, and it often leaves you tapped out: if you've spent your turn just getting the enchantment down, the Dragons start arriving once you cast a spell and snowball from there. It punishes a hand of expensive singletons and lands, and thrives on a chain of cheap spells fed into it.
