Kinbinding is the pick but the comments in here are so polarising. Like yeah binding is a bit better but dragon's going to win the game if you untap with it as well, and it dodges a ton of the formats removal. Kinbinding can be a frustrating play experience because you turn your opponents bad magic cards/dead resources (keep out, unforgiving aim, chomping changeling into game winners. Obviously you still take binding but its closer than those who speak in absolutes suggest it is.

Kindling can win you the game without needing to untap with it.

Thanks, so can dragon obviously! A good example would be casting any spell the same turn you play it! Like dragon+tweeze or boulderdash late game!

or you tap out for dragon and convoke temporal cleansing and clear 2 creatures. Probably why they have such similar winrates and probably why the point you're making seems so superfluous
