Sparktongue Dragon
The pricing here is the whole arrangement: a 3/3 flier for five mana, a body that runs light for its slot, sold to you on the promise of a burn rider you have to buy separately. The enters trigger is optional and gated behind , which means the full package runs to eight mana split across one cast, and the dragon hits the table whether or not you can afford the second installment. That structure makes it a flexible turn rather than an all-or-nothing one: short on mana, you take the flier and bank the damage for never; flush, you stick a body and remove a blocker or point the three at a player's face in the same beat. It is a common-rarity take on the Flametongue Kavu impulse (creature plus removal stapled together), but rebuilt to be affordable at any board state instead of demanding the full rate up front, and aimed at three points of reach that can go to the dome. The split cost is what keeps the floor from being dead: a 3/3 flier that occasionally arrives with a Lightning Bolt attached is a fair midrange filler dragon built for an aggressive curve, where the trigger converts a plain body into tempo and the option to skip it means you never draw a spell you can't cast.
