M13 Mythic Dragon part III

This dragon discussion has been a lot of fun for me. Therapeutic, even. It's a real challenge to find red dragon designs that really deserve to be mythic, are appropriate for core sets in general and M13 in specific, and not trumped by some pre-existing design. That said, thanks to all your brilliant ideas and feedback, we've got some real contenders. Here's the latest version of my short list (I know, it's not that short; you all have too many great ideas):

Dragon Mage is one of only two reprints that I've seen support for. It's a big, splashy effect and worthy of mythic rarity. My primary concern is that it appeals much more to Spike than to Timmy. I will remind you that while appealing to Spike and/or Johnny would be a nice bonus, Timmy is without question our primary audience for this slot.

Form of the Dragon is the other reprint. This is a very Timmy card and easily mythic thanks to the nearly unique theme and ability. I hesitate only because it's not an actual dragon, even if it turns you into one and also because I can't help but wonder how this might be designed differently if it were created today.

We've considered a few more-than-one-dragon designs. This one, originally Jacob Munford's, is the only one that's struck me as awesome enough. And it is awesome. But I'm not sure it's mythic. Nor is "two dragons" really a big dragon trope, even if more is better. That said, if people supported this, I would readily print it.

Pasteur mocked this version up. metaghost's "Mo' Mana Mo Problems Dragon" is funnier, but ultimately we'll have to choose a serious name for this Manabarbs + Mana Flare dragon, if we go this route. I'm very fond of how this subtly redder version of Overabundance reads on a dragon. The final art should show rivers of lava erupting across the land and the name should evoke magma or volcanoes somehow. I wonder if this is still awesome to new players who don't know these old cards.

This is a similar thematic vein but referencing Blood Moon instead. Looks like Coiling Woodworm is the only other card whose size is based on all the lands of a type in play. It's also pretty cool how the two abilities interact.

I got the impression no one liked "indestructible as long as [condition]" with some flavorful condition, perhaps because we just had Angelic Overseer. I'll offer one more: "Diamond Dragon is indestructible unless an opponent controls a Knight." Moving on... One way to make this simple design more exciting and more appealing to Timmy, while breaking Limited less is to just make it much bigger and more expensive. I still really like this guy.

As long as we're looking at honking-big dragons, this should interest a psychographic or two.

I was searching for dragons in Google and discovered a new "personal results" link. Curious, I checked it out. It reminded me that I proposed an uncommon dragon one year ago. Overall people liked it but they correctly pointed out that it needed to be mythic, not uncommon. Well that's just what we're looking for, isn't it? Trying it out larger and with new templating. Still needs work, but worth mentioning. "R: ~ deals X-1 damage to target c/p or it hasn't dealt damage to this round."? I don't know. You tell me.

Razing Hellkite is still totally printable, but it just hasn't gotten as much support as other designs. I've given up on Princess Snatcher because the ability is too far afield for red. Despite some impressive design, I'm no longer considering Gluttonous Tyrant variants because they read too similarly to demons. Even if they play differently, we want absolutely zero confusion in this most iconic card slot.
