Lunar Hatchling

Description

Lunar Hatchling, identified by card number WHO 424, is a Rare foil card that stands out for its powerful presence on the battlefield. As a six-mana Creature — Alien Beast, this card demands significant resource investment but offers substantial board control upon resolution. It possesses the keywords Flying and Trample, allowing it to bypass ground defenses and deal damage effectively to opponents. Beyond its base stats of 6/6, Lunar Hatchling offers versatile utility through two distinct abilities. The first is Basic landcycling for {2}, which allows the player to discard the card to search their library for a basic land card, providing crucial color fixing or mana acceleration. The second ability is Escape, costing {4}{G}{U} and requiring the exile of a land and five other cards from the graveyard. This mechanic enables the player to cast the card from their graveyard, offering a second chance to deploy this powerful threat even if it is removed early. Designed by artist Ben Wootten, this foil version adds a shimmering finish that appeals to collectors who value both gameplay functionality and aesthetic presentation. The Doctor Who set has become a notable part of Magic: The Gathering history, attracting fans of both the game and the television series. For collectors building a Doctor Who collection or players seeking a resilient Alien Beast with multiple strategic options, Lunar Hatchling represents a compelling piece of the WHO set. Its combination of raw power and graveyard recursion makes it a memorable addition to any Magic: The Gathering library.
