Your other, realistic options for a solid Dragon-themed deck were Bladewing the Risen and Atarka, World Render (yeah, yeah, Zirilan of the Claw and the other four Fate Reforged Dragon lords I said realistic at the time)
Thanks to the trading card industry, there developed a wide variety of protective devices, including the bulky "top-loader", a rigid plastic case with one open end (essentially a box for a single card) and the less-expensive simple "card sleeve," a card-sized envelope of clear plastic, with one end open
Birds of Paradise, Bloom Tender, Mana Crypt, Chrome Mox, Mox Diamond, Mox Opal, Mana Vault, Grim Monolith, Helm of Awakening, Candelabra of Tawnos Ramp
Nowadays, there are multiple other answers just as efficient as Fatal Push like Prismatic Ending and Unholy Heat, and the card has been slowly replaced with these alternatives as they are just more versatile
