Bogardan Hellkite

Flash
Flying
When Bogardan Hellkite comes into play, it deals 5 damage divided as you choose among any number of target creatures and/or players.

If some of the creatures or players are illegal targets as Bogardan Hellkite's triggered ability tries to resolve, the original division of damage still applies and the damage that would have been dealt to the illegal targets is lost. It won't be dealt instead to a legal target.

You choose how many targets Bogardan Hellkite's triggered ability has and how the damage is divided as you put the ability onto the stack. Each target must receive at least 1 damage.

Draco

Draco costs {2} less to play for each basic land type among lands you control.
Flying
At the beginning of your upkeep, sacrifice Draco unless you pay {10}. This cost is reduced by {2} for each basic land type among lands you control.

A number of nonbasic lands have basic land types. Domain abilities don’t count the number of lands you control — they count the number of basic land types among lands you control, even if that means checking the same land twice. For example, if you control a Tundra, an Overgrown Tomb, and a Madblind Mountain, you’ll have a Plains, Island, Swamp, Mountain, and Forest among the lands you control. Your domain abilities will be maxed out.

How many lands you control of a particular basic land type is irrelevant to a domain ability, as long as that number is greater than zero. As far as domain is concerned, ten Forests is the same as one Forest.

To determine the number of basic land types among lands you control, look at the lands you have on the battlefield and ask yourself whether the subtypes Plains, Island, Swamp, Mountain, and Forest appear within that group. The number of times you say yes (topping out at five) tells you how powerful your domain abilities will be.

Domain — This spell costs {2} less to cast for each basic land type among lands you control.

Dragon whelps face few threats besides their own enthusiasm.

Dragon Whelp

Flying
{R}: Dragon Whelp gets +1/+0 until end of turn. At end of turn, if this ability has been played four or more times this turn, sacrifice Dragon Whelp.

If the fourth (or more) time Dragon Whelp’s ability is activated during the same turn happens to be during that turn’s end step, the delayed triggered ability won’t trigger until the beginning of the next turn’s end step. You’ll have to sacrifice Dragon Whelp at that time.

The first three times Dragon Whelp’s ability is activated in a turn will do nothing other than give it +1/+0 until end of turn. Any subsequent activations will also cause its delayed triggered ability to trigger. That means if you activate Dragon Whelp’s ability five times, for example, two different delayed triggered abilities will trigger at the beginning of the next end step and cause you to sacrifice Dragon Whelp.

If the fourth (or subsequent) time Dragon Whelp’s ability is activated during the same turn is during that turn’s end step, the delayed triggered ability won’t trigger until the beginning of the next turn’s end step. You’ll have to sacrifice Dragon Whelp at that time.

There’s no limit to the number of times you can activate Dragon Whelp’s ability in a turn. However, the fourth activation in a turn and each subsequent activation will cause a delayed triggered ability that will force you to sacrifice Dragon Whelp at the beginning of the next end step.

Flying
{R}: Dragon Whelp gets +1/+0 until end of turn. If this ability has been activated four or more times this turn, sacrifice Dragon Whelp at the beginning of the next end step.

Dragons come not in packs or in herds but in storms.

Dragonstorm

Search your library for a Dragon permanent card and put it into play. Then shuffle your library.
Storm (When you play this spell, copy it for each spell played before it this turn.)

A copy of a spell can be countered like any other spell, but it must be countered individually. Countering a spell with storm won’t affect the copies.

Spells cast from zones other than a player’s hand and spells that were countered are counted by the storm ability.

The copies are put directly onto the stack. They aren’t cast and won’t be counted by other spells with storm cast later in the turn.

The triggered ability that creates the copies can itself be countered by anything that can counter a triggered ability. If it is countered, no copies will be put onto the stack.

Search your library for a Dragon permanent card, put it onto the battlefield, then shuffle.
Storm (When you cast this spell, copy it for each spell cast before it this turn.)

Form of the Dragon

At the beginning of your upkeep, Form of the Dragon deals 5 damage to target creature or player.

It sets your life total at the beginning of the end step of every player’s turn, not just your own.

Unless some effect explicitly says otherwise, a creature that can’t attack you can still attack a planeswalker you control.
