I love this card. I have always had a soft spot for big mean Red creatures and this is about as mean as they come. Provided, of course, you have the mana to play him. This can be a finisher in the late game and will always turn the game in your favor when played.

Dragon reanimator gotz a new, painful friend. Rorix Bladewing, Brimstone Dragon and Volcanic Dragon all have haste, but this guy has something better. FIVE DIRECT DAMAGE TO THE FACE!!! Playset + Living Death is only kinda funny:)

turn one dark ritual, buried alive, put Bladewing the risen, and 2 hellkites in the graveyard. turn 2 animate dead the bladewing into play and get the hellkite out for free. Its not tourney legal or anything i dont believe, but the look on my friends faces the first time i did this to them was great.

It's a card that I thought I wouldn't use, but it turned out to be quite useful in many different circumstances. It takes 8 to cast for a 5/5 flyer, but he can be brought into play at any time due to flash...and he does 5 damage however you want to a number of targets. This could be used to toast your opponent, or certain creatures that might be a problem. It turned out to be a nice card, and usually finds its way into my deck.

While its mana cost IS a little excessive, it pairs well with the theme from Naya, one of the Shards in Shards of Alara, the new expansion. Naya deals with 5 or more power creatures, and this fits the bill perfectly. Not only that, but it works exceptionally well in RWU Bounce decks.

K honestly, your gonna be wasting 8 mana when your precious shivian dragon gets terminated or cancelled before it hits the board, and if your not playing against anything with black red or blue, by turn 8 your opponent already has an overun that he has already used or is ready to use, not to mention a dauntless escort, don't be foolish enough to build a tourney deck around him.

The pros are stupid and this is just an overcosted Shivan. I mean really it dies to removal and can be countered! For shame! And what's more . . . it costs more than overrun. That clearly makes it bad . . . because, as everyone knows, every good card is immune to removal and counterspells and costs less than overrun.

this is just an absolutely sick card. With Dragonstorm off the standard scene, its price seems to have gone down to the point where I can easily order 3 for my Naya Ramp deck. Even without Lotus Cobra I can see it coming down on the 5th turn...followed by a Colossal Might or two...bam!

I'm so happy that the price on the Hellkite has dropped. Now even an everyday guy can play with Dragons :D
