Prior to the release of Magic: The Gathering—Commander, there were few wedge-colored legendary creatures. So few, in fact, that there were but six standard bearers of the wedges. Excepting Doran, the Siege Tower, these five legends of the wedges were all found in Planar Chaos as the alternative-history versions of three-color dragon legends (Note: An earlier version of this article incorrectly called them Elder Dragons. They are not, though they are eldar dragons in the simple English sense of the phrase). Little is known about these five mighty dragons that have headlined many a Commander deck over the years, and they remain shrouded in mystery. However, we can shed a little light on them through the art descriptions that gave them birth.

First, each dragon had the same note in its description that tells us what we’re working with:

Notes: This dragon should look sentient, like it has a personality and thinks for itself (unlike our normal, predatory red dragons).

As for the rest of the description? Read on.
