Firespitter Whelp — Classroom Ember
Firespitter Whelp is a compact, efficient Dragon that rewards a spell heavy red deck. This Foundations printing keeps the classic two mana curve of {2}{R} for a 2/2 with Flying, and its triggered burn ability pings each opponent when you cast a noncreature or Dragon spell. The art captures a young drake mid‑flight through a library of scrolls and quills, a useful image for pilots who play spells from hand rather than sitting on board presence. Condition listed as Near Mint makes this a solid pick for both play and display.
In play the whelp functions as an evasive threat and a steady source of incremental damage that pressures life totals while you sequence spells. It pairs cleanly with cheap instants and sorceries that want to trigger additional value and with Dragon tribal builds that double down on every cast. For decks looking for low cost aggression and reliable reach, Firespitter Whelp provides flying offense plus repeatable chip damage that slots into many red archetypes.
