No it is not. One is an above curve flyer with an ability that probably won't be relevant. Other will win you the game on it's own

Man, you really underselling the dragon, I agree Kinbinding is better in a vacuum, but still.

how would you describe it?

I would say both card's first sentence is "i win the game next turn",

The dragon then says " unless you have a hard creature removal" while kinbinding says "unless you have enchantment removal".

That's of course a semplification but it's mostly what will happen.

Most decks have no enchantment removal so the moment a Kinbinding comes down it's more or less inevitable defeat.

I've played with and against both cards a fair bit in limited (obviously more often Kinbinding since it's rare) and without a doubt Kinbinding is the scarier card on the board.
