First we went to Bant and met Lisha.
Then we went to Esper and met Crucius.
After that, we went to Grixis to avoid the Bone Heaps.
Next stop; Jund, to witness the Shriek of Flame.

"Dragons don't go peacefully into death. When an ancient has become to feeble to defend its territory, it goes out with a bang. In a ritual known as the Shriek of Flame, a dragon finds an unstable volcano, flies high above the crater, then plunges into a shrieking death-dive straight into the magma. A fiery cataclysm erupts on impact, and many lowland groups believe that all volcanic eruptions are the result of the death of a dragon."

Your mission, should you choose to accept it (and really, why wouldn't you) is to design a card that you feel captures the flavor of a Shriek of Flame.

DESIGN GUIDELINES
1. Your card must be red. It may be any other colors in addition to red.
1b. Your card is allowed to use non-Jund colors. The Shriek of Flame isn't a character or phenomenon exclusive to pre-Conflux Alara, so if you want to design a card that might take place in a post-Conflux world, you may do so should you desire.
2. Your card must involve dragons in some way, if not in mechanics, than in flavor.

Given the description of Shriek of Flame, I would encourage you to design an instant or sorcery, though if you feel you can somehow design an enchantment or land or creature that captures the feel, you may do so at your own peril. I will tease you relentlessly if your design is off the mark th, so beware. D:<

CONTEST RULES
1. You have two days to design.
2. You can only enter once.
3. You may change your design any time before the deadline.

If you have any further questions, feel fry to ask.
Good luck and have fun!

Shriek of Flame

Instant
Uncommon
As an additional cost to cast Shriek of Flame, sacrifice a creature. Shriek of Flame deals damage equal to that creature's power to each creature and player.
If you sacrifice a dragon this way, deal twice as much damage and this damage can't be prevented.

Think of how Neo couldn't beat the robots, but they kept him around anyways to defeat Agent Smith. Sure, the robots might not like having a Neo running rampant because instead of playing their favorite 4 drop fatty robot, they have to play a bunch of one mana Matrixs to contain him, but at least Neo keeps Agent Smith from reanimating an Iona on turn two.

I really enjoy imagining this from Kevin's perspective. Because in Kevin's world, Rosewater actually reads everything he types. Mark is sitting there right now, reading this, and thinking "The greatest trick the devil ever pulled. . ." Or some such. He chuckles low, then clicks on "The Best Of KEVINSET" and says "Yes, this'll do just fine. A busty lady with banding who deals direct damage to Zones!? Why this will be the star of my next set, and no one will ever believe you Kevin." Then he closes his Macbook, so his servant may move it out of the way, while another servant puts a Fetal Richard Garfield Clone lathered in Steak Sauce in front of him. Then Mark Feasts.

I mean, In KevinWorld, Mark is reading the very words I'm typing as well. Heck, in KevinWorld maybe I am Mark.

[In response to a thread about how hard grading is]

Upon reading this, I've found myself completely unable to operate in the world.  I tried to decide what to eat for breakfast, and pondered the vast consequences of my choice.  How do I balance my dietary needs against my desire to eat good-tasting food? Should I factor in how long it takes to prepare?  Cereal is ready in moments, but bacon takes longer to cook.

Then there is the impact on other industries.  Do people in the cereal industry deserve to be employed more than people in the bacon industry?  Which industry should I support? I don't even have the data regarding HOW MUCH the cereal industry benefits from me eating a bowl of cereal, or how much the bacon industry benefits from me eating a side of bacon.  How can I compare two qualities I can't even quantify?

And let's not forget the milk on the cereal.  In addition to determining whether or not milk is healthy for me, how much that benefits the milk industry, and how much the people in the milk industry deserve my support, we have to factor in the fact that cows are put under brutal conditions in order to collect thier milk.  Of course, the same goes for the pigs, and then they get killed.  Of course, I really like bacon.  So I need to come up with a scale that compares the value of cow happiness to pig happiness to my happiness.  What trade-offs am I willing to make here?  Does the fact that the pig gets put out of its misery count as a plus or a minus?  Isn't bacon bad for me anyway?

Deciding what to eat for breakfast (or any meal) is impossible.  Help me!

I must admit chinkeeyong, you have the most interesting character ideas; and you play them well.

Anyway, you'd be surprised about Time Stop. When I first saw that card as a relatively new player I didn't see its full potential until I read the reminder text. Is it that unintuitive, though? Mine I mean. What is possibility? Is it possible for me to type these words with my tusks? No, because I don't have tusks. Although I am now tempted to go buy some - obviously not from poachers or whatever - and use them as typing apparatus. I could be the best secretary ever. "What's your words per minute sir?" "Well, only six, but I use these tusks to type them." "You're hired!" That was the interview. And is anyone else disappointed that "apparati" is not the plural form of apparatus? I just could strangle a dictionary, because "apparatuses" is a real word. I guess it sounds pretty cool. I'll call them my Apparatusks.

Target creature gains ": This creature gets +1/+0 until end of turn" until end of turn.
If ~ is cast from your graveyard, sacrifice a creature at the end of turn. That creature deals damage to each creature and each player equal to it's power.

Whenever a dragon creature dies you may sacrifice a mountain. If you do, that creature deals X damage to each creature without flying and each player, where X is that creature's power.

If a Dragon would die, everything dies instead.

This isn't a real submission.
