Black Dragon Breathes Acidic Retribution
The Black Dragon from the Adventures in the Forgotten Realms set embodies classic draconic menace with a modern Magic twist. This 4/4 flyer offers immediate battlefield impact thanks to its “Acid Breath” ability, which weakens an opponent’s creature by reducing its power and toughness by three until end of turn. This tactical debuff can be the difference between a devastating blow or a crucial block, making Black Dragon a versatile tool in any mono-black or dragon-themed deck.
With a mana cost that demands a solid commitment of five generic and two black mana, Black Dragon fits well into mid-to-late game strategies that seek to dominate the skies and control the board. Its synergy with spells or permanents that enhance flying creatures or capitalize on creature debuffs—such as “Ravenous Chupacabra” or “Foulmire Knight”—can amplify its pressure. This Borderless Light Play version brings the formidable presence of the dragon to life, perfect for collectors and players who appreciate fantasy art with a touch of dark power.
