Magmatic Hellkite Roars
Magmatic Hellkite from Tarkir Dragonstorm is a compact threat that punishes land bases. The Near Mint Foil finish brings out the molten art while the creature text enforces tempo control. As an experienced player you will appreciate how the 4 5 flyer both wins air fights and breaks problematic nonbasic lands when it resolves, forcing an opponent to replace that utility with a tapped basic and a stun counter that slows their recovery.
The card slots into aggressive midrange or red control shells where one clean entry can flip a stalled game. Magmatic Hellkite is straightforward to sequence: protect it until it resolves and you trade a board presence for long term land disruption. The foil surface makes it a collector piece and the Tarkir (Dragonstorm) printing keeps the rules text clear for tournament play. Add it to decks that value immediate impact and steady pressure.

When this creature enters, destroy target nonbasic land an opponent controls. Its controller searches their library for a basic land card, puts it onto the battlefield tapped with a stun counter on it, then shuffles. (If a permanent with a stun counter would become untapped, remove one from it instead.)
