Skyward Artifact Usurper
Hellkite Tyrant is a compact lesson in incremental dominance. The card reads like a late game plan in the form of a 6/5 flyer with trample that takes and keeps momentum. When Hellkite Tyrant deals combat damage to a player you seize every artifact they control, turning small gains into a board state that snowballs quickly. Play it as a finisher or a midrange pivot; either way the interaction with artifacts changes how opponents sequence removal and blocks.
The retro frame foil from Ravnica Remastered brings that plan into sharp focus for collectors and players who want a statement piece for artifact heavy decks. The secondary win condition at your upkeep forces opponents to play around artifact counts and creates a real clock that is not about life totals. Use Hellkite Tyrant to wrest control of the board and then close the game with the inevitability built into the card.
