## Description

Dragon Whelp is an Uncommon red Dragon creature card from the 2011 Magic: The Gathering Commander set, designated as card number 120. Designed for the one-on-one format, this card serves as a flexible early-game threat for collectors building their Magic: The Gathering collections. With a mana cost of {2}{R}{R} and a Power/Toughness of 2/3, it offers immediate board presence while maintaining the strategic depth expected from the Commander series.

The card’s design emphasizes its aggressive nature through its rules text, which grants it Flying and a unique sacrifice mechanic. By paying {R}, players can boost its power until end of turn, allowing for explosive damage or blocking utility. However, activating this ability four or more times in a single turn triggers a sacrifice effect at the beginning of the next end step, adding a layer of risk and decision-making that defines its gameplay. This mechanic makes Dragon Whelp a memorable piece for enthusiasts who appreciate the creative card designs found in the Commander product line. Collectors often seek this card to complete the CMD set or to explore the diverse creature types available in the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. The artwork by Steven Belledin brings the Dragon to life, making it a standout addition for any themed collection.
