Magmatic Hellkite Roars
Magmatic Hellkite from Tarkir Dragonstorm arrives with showcase art and a near mint presentation that will fit cleanly into any red midrange or dragon tribal deck. The creature reads simply on the battlefield: a four five flier that replaces an opponent nonbasic land with a tapped basic and a stun counter while removing the original threat. That interaction makes this Magmatic Hellkite both a clock and a targeted answer to problematic utility lands and color fixing.
Play it for tempo or curve it behind ramp; the card rewards practical sequencing and timing rather than brute force. The showcase frame gives it shelf appeal for collectors and consistent playability for competitors who value efficient removal plus battlefield presence. If your deck wants a reliable flying threat that also punishes greedy mana bases, this Magmatic Hellkite is a solid inclusion.
