Bogardan Hellkite

Description

Bogardan Hellkite stands as one of the most iconic red dragons in Magic: The Gathering history, originally introduced in the Lorwyn block before appearing in numerous subsequent sets. This card is from the 2017 Iconic Masters release, designated as card number 118 in the IMA set code. It is printed as a Rare rarity card with a distinctive foil finish, making it a visually striking addition to any collection focused on premium TCG products. As a high mana cost creature with a mana value of 8, Bogardan Hellkite commands the board with significant presence. The card features the Flash and Flying abilities, allowing it to be cast at any time and remain elusive to most ground-based threats. Its most defining mechanic is the triggered ability that activates upon entering the battlefield: it deals 5 damage divided as the controller chooses among any number of targets. This flexibility makes it a versatile tool for clearing opposing creatures or finishing off an opponent directly, depending on the game state. Collectors often seek out the Iconic Masters foil version for its high-quality production and the enduring popularity of the card itself. Scott M. Whether you are building a Commander deck centered around dragon synergies or simply appreciate the design and power level of classic Magic cards, this foil release represents a key piece of the game's rich lore and mechanical diversity. The combination of its powerful text box and the premium foil treatment in the 2017 Iconic Masters set ensures it remains a recognizable and desirable item for enthusiasts of the trading card game.
