1-part Tezzeret AoB, 1-part Sarkhan the Mad, and 1-part Gideon Jura makes for an interesting gold 6CC version of the dragon shaman. It always irked me that in neither of the planeswalker cards for Sarkhan did he assume dragon form himself, considering he does so all the time in the storyline. Definitely intended as a casual-friendly planeswalker rather than a constructed-viable one, much like Nicol Bolas.

This seems so wordy. It also has the unfortunate problem of being just like you described: it feels like a mutant fusion of those three planeswalkers. I do think it's appropriate for Sarkhan to turn into a dragon, though.

There you go, I made it a little less wordy and more unique. :)

Dragon dragon dragon dragon, BIG BOOM, BIG BOOM, Dragon dragon dragon dragon...

I'd also like to point out the absolute hilarity of using this guy alongside "Protection from dragons"

@Vitenka: Yes, this is meant to be the ultimate Timmy "DEATH BY DRAGONS!!!!11" card :D

I changed his [+2] ability "Impulse+1 a Dragon" to [+1] "Tutor a Dragon" because if you're playing a deck where a dragon is likely to be in the top 5 cards of your deck, then you're probably dead by the time you cast this card. XD I think the ability is fine considering this guy's casting cost.

Ooh, "Dragon creature card". So no Nameless Inversions then. Fair enough I guess.

"It always irked me that in neither of the planeswalker cards for Sarkhan did he assume dragon form himself, considering he does so all the time in the storyline." - Looks like Creative agreed, and printed Sarkhan, the Dragonspeaker with this ability just for you. ;) He even does it as a + rather than an ultimate!
