Eeenteresting. Good with Searing Wind. Nice reference to Spellbinder.

Very very good for a pure-blue deck, to let it run other colours of instant. Not sure I like the "Ok, he has three islands up that means.... anything." factor, though.

Card disadvantage, though. So only worth using on really good off-colour instants. Terminate, or Darigaaz's Charm, perhaps. Fortunately the Titanic Ultimatum cycle are all sorceries.

­Decree of Savagery isn't though, and it's effects can be a bit more long lasting. Hmm... searching Gatherer for interesting 7+ cc instants. I like this card with Hunting Pack... if anyou copied hunting pack and didn't end up with 20 power worth of creatures, it would be a disappointment. Also, Lavaball Trap and... holy Vitalizing Wind! I haven't seen you since 2001!

Cool card. I'm ready to shuffle up a deck and play with it right now.

Hmm, it does work rather well with storm, doesn't it? What's that "Summon a dragon" storm card? Oh, it's Dragonstorm duh.

So that's 3 blue, discard a card, 2 dragons. Or if you can hold up a turn, and find another spell, 3 dragons.

Another "Very very good" card but... yeah, probably not utterly horribly broken. Just "Here, give this to Alex, wait for the silly to happen" breakable.

­Dragonstorm = Sorcery. I find it funny that restricting it to instant, which was probably done for color pie reasons, stops this card from being too broken.
