Crater Hellion

Description

Crater Hellion is a notable creature card from the 2013 Magic: The Gathering Commander set, designated as card number 104. This Rare card features the distinct artwork of Daren Bader and embodies the aggressive red mana identity central to the Commander format. As a Creature — Hellion Beast with a mana value of six, it demands a significant investment of resources, reflecting its substantial power and toughness stats of 6/6. The card’s mechanics make it a formidable presence on the battlefield. Upon entering play, it deals four damage to each other creature, effectively clearing the board of opposing threats while leaving itself unharmed. This ability provides immediate strategic value, allowing players to reset the game state in their favor. However, the Echo mechanic adds a layer of complexity; if the card is not sacrificed or paid for on subsequent turns, it will be removed from play unless the player can afford the additional red mana cost. Collectors and players alike appreciate Crater Hellion for its dramatic effect and strong visual design within the Commander series. Its ability to dominate the board makes it a staple in many aggressive decks. For those building their Magic: The Gathering collections, this card represents a key piece of the 2013 Commander release, offering both gameplay utility and collectible appeal.
