Belltoll Dragon

Description

The Belltoll Dragon is a blue dragon creature card numbered 46 in the 2015 Dragons of Tarkir expansion for Magic: The Gathering. Designed by Zack Stella, this uncommon card provides a flexible option for players building dragon-centric decks within the Tarkir block. With a mana cost of five generic and one blue mana, it enters the battlefield as a six-mana spell, offering a balanced power level for its price point. This card is notable for its dual nature, allowing players to cast it face down as a 2/2 creature for just three mana. This megamorph ability provides early board presence while hiding the card's true potential. When turned face up by paying its megamorph cost, the Belltoll Dragon becomes a 3/3 creature with flying and hexproof. Crucially, turning it face up triggers an effect that places a +1/+1 counter on every other Dragon you control, significantly boosting the strength of your entire dragon army. For collectors and players alike, the Belltoll Dragon represents a key piece of the Dragons of Tarkir set's design philosophy. It encourages aggressive play with a strategic payoff, rewarding those who commit to the dragon archetype. The card's ability to transition from a cheap, hidden threat to a powerful, buffing force makes it a versatile addition to any Magic: The Gathering collection focused on this era of the game. Whether you are looking to complete a set of Dragons of Tarkir cards or add a unique mechanical tool to your collection, this card stands out for its elegant design and gameplay impact. It captures the essence of the set's dragon theme through its ability to support and strengthen other dragon creatures on the battlefield.
