Rumatha, Firesculptor
4RR
Legendary Creature - Dragon
3/3
Flying
2RR: Put a red Cat creature token with haste into play. Its power and toughness are equal to the power and toughness of target creature. At end of turn, sacrifice it. Play this ability only once each turn.

Maybe it would be more interesting as "target creature other than Rumatha", or maybe as "target creature you control"...

This doesn't seem properly "Dragony" to me. The ability is reminiscent of "Kiki-Jiki, Mirror Breaker", so I can't really say that the ability is broken. On the other hand, in order to ensure that this dragon doesn't always have a huge creature to target, you had to decrease its power and toughness to levels below that of typical dragons. I think that the ability is workable, but not right now. If you want to keep the idea, I'd say it has to go on a smaller body -- generally, be more like Kiki-Jiki. On the other hand, if you want this to be a dragon, the ability has to go. You might use something vaguely similar, but the copy mechanic isn't appropos.

Perhaps you could make Rumatha bigger (5/5 is typical) anbd give him an ability like this:

Quote
{R}{R}: Put a 1/1 red Flame creature token into play. Use this ability only once each turn.

Rumatha, Firesculptor gets +1/+0 for each Flame you control.


It may be necessary to make the Flame tokens 0/1's. This preserves the idea of Ruatha sculpting creature tokens, but also does so in a way that emphasizes that the creature is a dragon.

Did you know that Red is the color or art and music and passion? Combine that with Green, the color of nature, spiritualism, and community and you get a hippie commune of drum circles, dreamcatchers, and recreational drug use. Let's see that win a Pro Tour.

Interesting. How about:

2R, T: Put a 1/1 red Cat creature token into play. It has "Sacrifice this creature: Untap Rumatha".

Since when have Dragons kept pet cats?

I just don't understand the flavour aspect of this. I could understand Dragon Mage making Whelps but I can't see why a Dragon would make Cats.

(Fire)cats would be fine if there's flavor text explaining them. Without that explanation, though, the card's flavor just doesn't make sense.
