Rockbound Recon
Boulderborn Dragon is a compact tool for artifact and control builds that need a flying threat with a built in selection engine. The card reads simply and delivers twice over: a five mana artifact creature that grants evasion and vigilance while it chips away at board state. Casting Boulderborn Dragon gives you a reliable 3 3 flier that can attack without losing a turn on defense and that triggers surveil each time it swings.
In practice this card is steady in longer games where library manipulation matters. Surveil helps set up graveyard synergies and smooth draws while the dragon itself exerts aerial pressure. For Tarkir era decks that value incremental advantage, Boulderborn Dragon fits naturally into midrange and artifact shells. Add one to your deck to tighten your late game and preserve tempo while digging for answers.
