Legendary Creature — Dragon2 generic manaRed manaRed manaRed mana

Grandeur was the experimental keyword that asked you to pay for power with a second copy of the same legendary card, and this Dragon is the one whose payoff scales with its own body. Discarding a duplicate doesn't fetch value or cast a spell: it doubles the creature's power outright, because X equals the power it already has. The first activation turns a 4/3 into an 8/7; do it again with a second spare copy and the math compounds toward absurdity in a single turn. That self-referential scaling is what gives the ability its teeth. Most grandeur cards offered a fixed bonus for the redundancy tax, a flat trade of card economy for effect. Tarox folds the payoff back into the attacker, so each extra copy in hand is not just a resource but a multiplier on what's already on the board. The cost structure is unforgiving by design: you must run multiple copies of a legendary creature you can only have one of in play, and the activations want haste to matter the turn the Dragon lands (which it has, alongside flying to make the swelled power connect). It is a deliberately swingy build-around that trades consistency for a ceiling, betting that a flying Dragon doubling its own power until end of turn is worth the redundancy you have to stockpile to enable it.
