As is always the case with Magic: The Gathering, a new set release means a new standard
With the dragon, you get a 6/7 flier that bounces two nonland permanents, which already sets your opponent back
Mid to late game this becomes a pretty scary threat
The Order of the White Lotus + Here are more cards with lotus in their name that definitely behave differently than what you expect from a lotus, but the flavor is something to savor on Gather the White Lotus, Iroh, Grand Lotus, Lotuslight Dancers, White Lotus Hideout, and White Lotus Reinforcements
This card is just super flexible, able to be used as removal/board control or a straight-up win condition
This versatile trick excels in combat, especially when boosting valiant or double-striking Mice, but also pulls double duty as a source of card advantage, digging for lands or removal as needed
