Which is why Bogardan Hellkite is the best dragon ever: even if it gets swords'd on the spot, it still does five damage. That's why it's the linchpin of the reanimator deck, which is way more consistent than dragonstorm will ever be (heck, the list below doesn't have draw or tutors, even crappy ones like Grozoth: what happens when your Dstorms get shuffled to the lower half of your deck, which can happen fairly easily if you're not cheat-shuffling?). Or more consistent than Buried Alive + Living End.

After all, reanimator can work just fine on two mana in play and have a dragon in play by turn two. Which is why Hellkite Overlord will probably only see play in that deck, and probably only in a thresh-deprived meta (as SSS resiliance is too much to pass up vs. decks with white).
The list doesn't need draw. I play 12 Duress effects and sculpt my hand while obliterating my opponent's hand. If you think it needs more draw, what would you cut and what do you suggest?

@Raharu - Yes. that is why I prefer Brimstone Dragon, which I also stated myself numerous times in this thread.

EDIT: if Hellkite Overlord is a mythic rare, we're all in trouble...
