Rationale
6cmc legendary dragon wizard with flying and no maximum hand size. Triggers on noncombat damage (ping effects, direct spells), drawing cards equal to damage dealt. Signature in spellslinger shells and izzet combo decks that leverage ping effects for card advantage and filtering. The hand-size clause enables explosive turns when paired with burn or pingers. Flying evasion + repeatable draw make it a must-answer threat.
