Creature — Dragon6 generic manaRed manaRed mana

The math is exponential the moment it gets going. The trigger fires on any Dragon you control attacking, and the tokens it makes are themselves Dragons, so a single combat step compounds: every flier swinging adds another 6/6 to the board, and each of those swings next turn to make more. Crucially, the engine bootstraps itself: a lone Hellkite attacking triggers off its own attack, so even with no other Dragons in play it spawns a 6/6 token every swing, and the snowball begins from one card. What balances an effect this lopsided is the eight mana and the requirement that the creatures actually declare as attackers: the army it builds is committed to combat, not held back, so the controller is racing rather than grinding. That makes it a top-end payoff rather than a value piece, a finisher a Dragon-tribal deck builds toward as the turn that ends the game, not one that ekes out incremental advantage. Among the many big-bodied flying finishers red has printed, this one is distinguished by treating its tribe as a runaway resource: it converts every attack trigger into another attack trigger, manufacturing the very Dragons that fuel it. In a board already populated with fliers the doubling outpaces almost anything trying to stabilize against it, and even from a standing start it builds its own supply line one combat at a time.
