Description
Yearling Roar
Belligerent Yearling is a compact threat that earns its keep in aggressive red decks. At {1}{R} this Creature Dinosaur arrives as a 3/2 with trample, meaning it demands responses and often forces through damage even against blockers. The Lost Caverns of Ixalan borderless foil art emphasizes the creature's scrappy posture and mouth wide for a challenge, a practical visual cue for decks that want early pressure and reliable combat stats.
Where Belligerent Yearling shines is in company. Its triggered ability lets you match its base power to the next Dinosaur you drop that turn, creating surprise windows to outsize blockers and turn two hits into lethal threats. In draft and limited play it pairs with larger Dinosaurs to amplify tempo. In constructed lists it functions as a fast pivot piece that trades up with the right support and rewards deckbuilding that prioritizes creature density.
