Scion of Calamity (Commander: The Lost Caverns of Ixalan) Near Mint

Scion of Calamity — Twin Terror of the Canopy

Scion of Calamity is a solid green beatstick that brings repeatable board impact through Myriad and a targeted removal trigger. At five mana and five power, it pressures opponents while forcing choices when it connects. The Myriad ability multiplies your threat across multiple opponents so your single attack can translate into several bodies that vanish at end of combat. When one of those hits, the printed trigger removes an opponent artifact or enchantment they control which makes this creature more than raw damage it provides a way to punch through troublesome defenses.

From a deck building perspective this card rewards a midrange plan. It plays well with token synergies and anthem effects and it benefits from ways to make combat damage more consistent. In-lore this dinosaur feels like a primeval scourge dislodged from the lost caverns a predator that dismantles the tools of civilization when it smashes through a foe. Practical note keep an eye on blockers and removal windows since its value comes when it deals combat damage to a player.
