Forgestoker Dragon

Description

The Forgestoker Dragon (Card Number 98★) is a rare foil promo card from the 2014 Born of the Gods Promos set in the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. Designed by Lucas Graciano, this single-red mana creature is a Dragon with a mana cost of {4}{R}{R} and a power and toughness of 5/4. As a promo release, it carries the distinctive star foil treatment that distinguishes it from standard printings, making it a recognizable addition to any TCG collection. Players can pay {1}{R} to deal 1 damage to a target creature, which can then be prevented from blocking during that same combat phase. This activation is restricted to when the Dragon is attacking, adding a layer of strategic timing to its use. The card also possesses Flying, allowing it to evade most ground-based defenses. Its flavor text notes that the Akroans fashion their helms to honor dragons, reflecting the cultural context of the set without requiring specific knowledge of the storyline to appreciate the card's design. The combination of its high mana value, flying ability, and disruptive attack trigger makes it a memorable piece of the set's roster.
