Venomous Flight of the Green Dragon
The Green Dragon from the Adventures in the Forgotten Realms set brings a potent mix of aerial dominance and lethal control to any midrange or green-heavy deck. With flying and a solid 4/4 body, it soars above ground blockers with ease. The defining trait, Poison Breath, turns this creature into a battlefield hazard: every time your opponent’s creature takes damage while Green Dragon is present, it is destroyed at once. This mechanic rewards decks that can reliably deal damage across multiple fronts, synergizing beautifully with burn spells or creatures with deathtouch.
Strategically, Green Dragon fits seamlessly into decks that lean on controlling the board through attrition. Its synergy shines alongside cards that chip away at opposing forces, such as Scute Swarm or Wildborn Preserver, maximizing the potential of Poison Breath. The flavor text hints at the corruptive nature of green dragons, emphasizing their role not only as physical threats but as agents of insidious influence—perfectly capturing the dark fantasy tone of the Forgotten Realms.
