Nesting Dragon — Eggbound Pyre
Nesting Dragon is a practical addition to any red Commander deck that wants repeatable board presence from land drops. Cast for {3}{R}{R}, this 5 4 flyer leverages Landfall to generate 0 2 red Dragon Egg tokens with defender whenever a land enters under your control. Each Egg carries a delayed value engine that replaces itself with a 2 2 flying Dragon when it dies, and that hatchling can be pushed for extra power with a single red mana.
The card rewards steady sequencing and land acceleration more than a single explosive turn. Use ramp, fetch lands, or token lands to trigger Landfall multiple times and build an army of Eggs that either stall attackers or convert into flying threats. This Near Mint English edition from Commander Tarkir Dragonstorm is Rare and plays well in creature‑centric and token synergies. Add it to your collection or your next game plan and start turning land drops into board tempo.
