Why are you guys even suggesting changes? This being an undead dragon seems fine for me.

It needs a bit more of a catch.  Self-destruction is good as balancing, but I think it could use a direct negative.  Perhaps give yourself a few poison counters.  Would love to encounter more of this "other dragon" idea applied to the other 11 elements, so perhaps you could go for making a series?

I'm considering it, but I still have Sages to finish and FG revolution to start.

Althought poison counters is a good idea I kind of feel it steps on Void Dragon's toes that way and that self-destruction is more interesting for this card - I can imagine a resurrected dragon running out of necromantic energy to function and completley falling apart - only to have its soul recycled by Soul Catcher and it's rotted bones used for skeletons and bonewalls. It's in the balance range as well, so I'm not sure if poisoning the player is really much better than just making a slight increase to the cost at this point.

Thanks for the suggestion though - I may use it in a later idea.

The word is "Draconic" not "Dragonic" and an undead dragon is often known as a "Dracolich", though you may be better off not using that term.

Just thought I'd let you know.

The number of people who don't know basic dragon related latin seems to be quite high these days...

I'm aware of that. I thought it would be acceptable if I named it "Dragonic" instead, otherwise I would've changed it a long time ago.

Do I have to really conform to every naming pattern set by previous fiction? I feel it limits what I can think of.

Maybe because not everyone seems to be interested, imo.

Some do not know they do not know. I would suggest switching to Draconic for accuracy.
PS: Dracolich refers to a lich not a normal undead. Huge difference because Liches would have Activated abilities at least.

I believe the term "Dracolich" can also refer to a Dragon Zombified by a lich, regardless of whether the creature is or isn't a lich itself.
Either way though, it has come to be a more general term for undead dragons than it probably should be.
