This card is certainly not for every deck, but it will its share of game time in all those decks that utilize all lands (WBURG). This card is a very powerful creature which can be played for a low cost and not have an upkeep, a 9/9 flying for 8 mana and no upkeep is pretty nice. When mixed with cards like Dralnu's pet, u can kiss your opponent good bye. Just remember though, with all those new plainswalker cards like plainswalker's fury, this card could blow up in your face. Yet, it is a very good card, and well worth the risk and the 4 stars. So for all you multi-coloured maniacs, get your hands on this card.

I love this card!!! My multi deck has four of these. They are GREAT in combination with Monkey Cage (Sac Monkey Cage When Creature comes into play, put a number of 2/2 monkeys into play euqal to converted mana cost). Absolutly awesome.

this is one card that is only useful in a deck with all basic lands in it . cause it takes so long otherwise to get out and when you do it will have an upkeep . but it being a 9/9 flier in a deck for 6 mana and no upkeep it would be devestating.

Absolutely recommended for Multicolor. Play all basic lands, mix it up with Monkey Cage, and then laugh a your opponent's face.

i rated draco at 3 stars because of its outrageous mana cost. now im not no pro at all but i can tell that many people in the us and across the world have hard times trying to get draco out and keeping it in the game. now even though i have 2 dracos in my decks i still dont like them as much as my dragon ledgends from the invation series. But i do like its high power and toughness. overall i rate the card 3 stars.

A very powerfull creature, along with some enchantments and it can be very very dangerous, but remember, and creature can be destroyed with the right cards, the thing I dont like about this card is the mana cost.

ye this card is really good i play rainbow i have one but im getting another, but just a note, only get like two in case some1 destroys lands or whatever...if u use it with volrath the fallen its pretty good too as for the dragon legends of invasion...only darrigaaz, crosis, and prolly treva are the only worthwile ones

Draco is one of the best cards in planeshift 9/9 flying. But he has a large mana cost so try to have alot of basic lands in play to play this card. The more you have the cheaper it is. If your like me Have 3 to 4 of them in a deck.

Boo. I would give this card 1, but it works well with Erratic Explosion (or Kaboom! if multiplayers your thing). Don't bother casting this thing.

This card is awesome in a rainbow deck it would only cost you 6 mana to play this card.

this is a good card but the only bad thing is the mana cost

THIS IS GOOD. VERY RARELY WILL THIS CARD EVER COST 16 MANA. I HAVE 2 USES FOR THIS CARD. FIRST IS IN MY DRACO EXPLOSION DECK WHERE I USE DECK STACKING CARDS, THAN ERRATIC EXPLOSION TO POP 16 DAMAGE UP. ALSO I HAVE A 5COLOR DECK THAT HAS 4 OF EACH DUAL LAND, AND OTHER MULTICOLOR CARDS.

Good for erratic explosion decks, basically worthless in other decks, there are much better things to do with the amount of mana you need to play this guy

Many players think of draco solely within the context of prism decks (wbgrb) but when used in combination with Worldly tutor and Erratic explosion, you can set up an increadible 16 damage burn spell for 4 mana. Erratic Explosion reads as follows:
"Choose target creature or player. Reveal cards from the top of your library until you reveal a nonland card. Erratic Explosion deals damage equal to that card's converted mana cost to that creature or player. Put the revealed cards on the bottom of your library in any order."
Worldly tutor allows you to search for and place draco on top of your library, only to be redrawn seconds later using EE. The best part it, given the slim chance your opponent even survives the blast, the revealed card(draco) is placed back at the bottom of your library, just waiting to be searched for and unleashed once again.

Whoever made this card should be ashamed. good for a spectrum deck i suppose but still, I dont see the point. to be honest i think Tek is the coolest spectrum card. Overall the fact that you have to waste 6 mana a turn keeping this beast in play deteres me, as you could play a dragon legend for wat ur payin.
only 2 im afraid.

9 mana a turn that is way to much for most decks but if you have the mana its a good card

darco is one the most poferul drogons in the game!!! i mean you guys are saying that the only bad thing is te mana crust but i am sooooo good and sixteen dosnt scare me only if you are a wuss!!!!! when i attic with my 9/9 drogon then youll be in for some pain and then youll whos mana cust is scary!!!!

he's only good if you play multi colored deck cause it states "2 less mana for each basic land TYPE". so if you got forest, mountain, plains, swamps, island, then he would only costs 6 to play, otherwise, he's not worth the trouble in mono or 2 colored deck.
Also, a single "destroy/bury target artifact" card will put him in check
Nice art though

great combo with prismatic omen. Your lands are every basic landtype so Draco only costs 6 to play and doesn't have an upkeep. Combined with cards like rampant growth you can play Draco as soon turn 4.
No perfect score because if your prismatic omen gets destroyed you have a serious problem keeping Draco on the table

Draco is absolutely amazing. I don’t care about its mana cost, and I don’t care about what other people say about it, it is simply amazing. Sure, it costs an outrageous 16, but this quickly becomes six, especially with the return of the dual lands in Ravnica (and, as a side note, Prismatic Omen from Shadowmoor.) While paying 16 for a 9/9 flier is a bit over the top, paying 6 makes it more than worth its investment. It’s an artifact, so it is resilient to things like terror and smother, though it makes Draco vulnerable to artifact hate such as disenchant. However, Draco is more than worth it as a creature, and it deserves the full five star rating that I give it.
The more important aspect about Draco is in fact its mana cost. Currently, this is the card that costs the most mana in the game, including the ridicules wurm that came out in Ravnica. Imagine what would happen if you stacked your library, with things like Insidious Dreams, and put Draco right beneath an Erratic Explosion. Kaboom!
In fact, this is one of the more exciting combo pieces that is currently being exploited in the Extended environment. Masters in the game, such as Antoine Ruel, hasrun this combo, leading him into a solid day-two finish in Pro-Tour Valencia. This combo is also featured in the Top 8 deck along with Enduring Ideal in Grand Prix Philly. If it is good enough for the pros, it is definitely good enough for you.
Have fun with this one,

A very powerful card if used in combination with the right other cards. Lately I have been having a lot of succes with Draco, Kodama's Reach, Rampant Growth and Prismatic Omen which pretty much guarantees Draco appearing in turn 4. The only weakness is that if you lose the Prismatic Omen you have a problem with the upkeep

While I agree this is a very situational card, really depending on the deck, however, with this can be played in a mono-green deck with Prismatic Omen, making it VERY effective, compensating for green's flying weakness, and going along with its huge creature theme. This is an awesome card if you can use it right.

less to play for each basic land type among lands you control.
