See Challenge # 089.
Based on Ember Shot. Hm, even with a 5/5 body and haste, that's not very good, but it's got a bit of aggression, a bit of card advantage, and a bit of direct damage, so it should find a home somewhere.
Yeah, I think is quite a nice approach to the challenge. Pelakka Wurm and Arctic Wolves are the only other fatties I can see with a single cantrip stapled onto them; I guess Wizards tend to reckon the card you're drawing ought to have a chance of being more exciting than the card you played :)
This is very good actually. For one more mana on Volcanic Dragon you get +1/+1, a cantrip, and a Lightning Bolt. It's 3-for-1 card advantage and it's hasty to boot. 7 mana is a bit much for constructed, but this would make a lot of casual players very happy.
P/T Jack? I know it's kind of irrelevant for the challenge, but I still find it interesting what people think should be the correct p/t for this dragon.

@Alex, jmg thanks.
Oops, All mine tend to be 5/5 as a default "fatty" size. I'm not sure what works best, I think 5/5 to appeal to the generally good things deck, rather than 4/4 which would be a bit anaemic for 7 mana, or 6/6 which would be trying a bit too hard to be good.
