Theyre all Elder Dragon Legends, or Legendary Creature Elder Dragon in the newest notation
And thats what matters
Conclave Sledge-Captain BPhillipYork: 3 instances of backup 1 means you can have 1 creature get a lot of +1/+1 counters on it, if you used all 3 on Shalai and Hallar it would deal 1 damage to an opponent 3 times, then when you swung through it would then deal an additional 6 + 6 + 6 damage (sadly all the instances would go on the stack at once) though if you had double strike you'd get 6 + 6 + 6 and then they'd be 21/21 and another 3*21 damage, meaning you could do 27 combat damage to one player, 3 instances of 21 damage, and 3 of 6 damage, which is 18+21 = 39 and 42 and the person you attacked is dying to Commander damage
All still provide one of the most efficient and immediate returns on cards for the mana and still see occasional use but with most decks being more traditional agro, midrange and control these cards are too risky and too symmetrical to be appropriate very often
I have never been able to decide which card I prefer out of this and shattering spree for red targeted artifact removal in the cube
