Firespitter Whelp
Creature — Dragon
Flying (This can't be blocked except by creatures with flying or reach.)
Whenever you cast a noncreature or Dragon spell, this deals 1 damage to each opponent.

Ornithopter of Paradise might be an interesting replacement for (or addition to) Arcane Signet since it can eventually attack for real damage.
Electro, Assaulting Battery and Shivan Devastator are good on-rate. Freya Crescent and Rug of Smothering could be cute with the power boost from your commander. Chaos Dragon is all right.
Slickshot Show-Off and Hobgoblin, Mantled Marauder have flying and haste for cheap, which could be good late-game. Not exactly perfect, but at least worth knowing about.
Those all might not be worth breaking up too much goblin synergy for, though. Going wide with goblins could very well end up being a lot better than having flying creatures. Your playtesting will let you know for sure!
Skyscanner might be an interesting inclusion if you feel like you're getting empty-handed early. Firespitter Whelp flies and you have enough non-creature spells to make it almost worth considering. As I said, going for goblin synergy might be better in the long run.

Is Firespitter Whelp worth the 1 additional mana over Kessig Flamebreather, as it has flying?
DemonDragonJ on Foundations Speculation and Discussion

I am very surprised to see that there is no thread yet for discussing the upcoming Foundations set, so I am making such a thread.
I shall not write and elaborate introduction, but there are many cards in that set in which I am very interested; High Fae Trickster is very powerful, and I intend to put it into nearly all of my EDH decks that contain the color blue (Tidal Barracuda and Leyline of Anticipation are still good, in certain decks); I simply must find a way to put perforating artist into my decks that contain the colors red and black; and Scrawling Crawler is an obvious inclusion for my Nekusar, the Mindrazer deck. Is Firespitter Whelp worth the 1 additional mana over Kessig Flamebreather for it to have flying?
Two cards that could have been good, if not for very minor and ridiculous drawbacks, are ravenous amulet and wardens of the cycle; in the case of the wardens, I undersand that WotC had their ability trigger only on their controller's end step, to avoid rendering Deathreap Ritual completely obsolete, but why is the first ability of the amulet usable only as a sorcery, when the second ability can be used as an instant? That severely limits its utility.
What does everyone else here say about this set? Are you excited for Foundations? What are you hoping to see, from it? I am very eager to begin discussion of this set!
