Firebreathing is any mechanic that pays homage to the original Firebreathing card; that is, "Red mana: This creature gets +1/+0 until end of turn".[1] This mechanic was featured on the card Shivan Dragon in Alpha and, in general, is a trademark of most dragons. It's most often seen on red creatures.[2] Over time there have been variants, tied with a consistent factor of an unbound activated ability that pumps their power.
