A bit boring at this point, but a dragon is a dragon is a dragon. For serious scrutiny.

Playtest results: previous ability too slow and doesn't feel Terran.. Fire Dragon / Spitting Earth ability, that can only hit units. Strange that this hasn't been done before.

typo: Missing the word 'equal'.

by jameschanlee:

Thanks, totally missed that. Fixed in MWS, will be fixed in next picture refresh.

by Pedant:

Mountains should be capitalized.

by jameschanlee:

Hmm. You're right. Thanks!

Battlecruiser {4} {r} {r}

Flying
When Battlecruiser enters the battlefield, you may have it deal damage to target creature equal to the number of Mountains you control.
4/4

Battlecruiser shouldnt be uncommon.
moving away from too many etb effects, where creatures feel too much like spells.
New ability inspiration from werewolves. Terran has a lot of activated abilities, so there will be turns where you don't cast spells. This ability will reward these turns. Will have common analogues, probably for SCV (gain life?) and Marauder (tapping?)

At the beginning of your end step, if no spells were cast this turn, ~ deals 3 damage to target creature or player and you gain 3 life.
4/4

helix too strong; current incarnation still strong even if it looks like an intro pack rare
changed to 'may' ability in line with other units

by jameschanlee:

Functional but not particularly awe-inspiring.

5/5 tap + 2 red 3 colorless: 8 damage to target creature. I don't like seeing a weak capital ship especially not a behemoth class Battlecruiser. please consider and good day.
