Hydroelectric Specimen is a blue flash creature from Modern Horizons 3 that fits a tempo oriented blue deck. With Flash, you can drop it onto the battlefield at a moment that catches opponents off guard. Its key ability lets you redirect the target of a targeted instant or sorcery spell to Hydroelectric Specimen, potentially preserving your board while turning a single targeted spell into a stall tactic. This Near Mint copy shows crisp art and sharp corners, ready for your next duel.
On the battlefield it is a sturdy 1/4 that can survive early exchanges and pressure opponents as the game unfolds. The flavor text hints at a lab team stepping out and the specimen taking initiative, mirroring how you leverage a smart play to answer a developing board state. Use Hydroelectric Specimen alongside other blue answers to maximize tempo, creating interactions that force opponents to reallocate resources as you control the pace.
