Creature — Dragon
Oracle Text
Flying
Whenever you cast a spell, you may discard your hand. If you do, draw a card for each of that spell's colors.
When this creature dies, it deals X damage to any target, where X is the number of colors among permanents you control.
Watch Out
Cast trigger fires even if counteredWatch Out
This triggers when the spell is cast, before it resolves. Even if the spell is countered, the cast trigger still resolves. Copies of spells are not cast, so they won't trigger this.
Exile prevents dies triggersRules Note
'Dies' means 'put into a graveyard from the battlefield.' If a creature is exiled instead of dying (Swords to Plowshares, Rest in Peace), dies triggers won't fire. Tokens do trigger 'dies' abilities briefly before ceasing to exist.
