WotC were basically like, "We had an idea for a card, but we didn't know whether to go with the good version or the bad version, so we just put both in the set. They're both rare, so you could get either one in your booster pack and it'll be a surprise either way. Have fun with that."

Ooh, it's engagement! Now I'll say what I think about what you think about what I think about what the CPA thought about these cards all those years ago. Um, or something... On the one hand, there are like 100 big red dragon cards in Magic, and WotC will keep making more of them because...
