Description
Yearling with Bite
Belligerent Yearling is a compact threat that rewards aggressive board development. At {1}{R} it arrives as a 3/2 Dinosaur with Trample, so it pressures life totals immediately while pushing through blockers. The Yearling's trigger reads well in tribal decks or any build that can reliably cascade creatures onto the battlefield because it can temporarily match the power of a newly arrived Dinosaur and turn a small attacker into a meaningful damage source.
In practice the card is straightforward to sequence. Play it early, follow with another Dinosaur, and choose to set its base power to the newcomer if that creates favorable combat trades or a lethal window. The foil near mint presentation adds collectors value and makes this uncommon a nice inclusion for competitive sideboards or casual tribal shells that want consistent on curve pressure and simple synergy.
