Card of the day - Megido Dragon

I'll start a 'Card of the Day' thing. These are the more interesting Magic: the Gathering cards that I've designed. With about 10 sets created so far, guess I won't be running out of resources for quite a while ;) Anyway,

Megido Dragon
RR

Creature - Dragon
Flying
Megido Dragon can't be the target of spells or abilities.
When Megido Dragon comes into play, it deals 19 damage to you.
9/9

I always loved cards like these. Powerful fatties that throw you into a shithole and you have to figure your own way out. (Eg. Leveler) So I designed this for Fortress, a medieval-fantasy setting expansion still in progress.

Fortress is a set based on life totals. Red spells and creatures get more powerful if you are at a low life total. So Megido Dragon is a double-edged sword - it's big, it's hard to get rid of, it helps in powering up your spells; but it puts you at a very dangerous position. If your opponent attacks with two creatures, most likely you're dead. If your opponent is playing red, time for you to scoop.

Maybe some of you have guess how did the name came about. I got the name from a devastating attack by Omega Weapon in Final Fantasy 8. His Megido Flame deals 9998 damage to all your party members. So you'll be dead unless you have 9999HP. Hence.
