Hoarding Dragon

Description

The Hoarding Dragon, designated as card number 149 in the Magic 2015 expansion, is a five-mana Red Dragon creature that offers distinct resource management capabilities for players. With a mana cost of {3}{R}{R}, this card requires a significant investment of mana to cast, but its effects provide substantial value upon entry and death. The creature possesses flying, allowing it to evade most non-removal threats, and boasts a power and toughness of 4/4, making it a resilient presence on the battlefield. When the Hoarding Dragon enters the battlefield, its triggered ability allows the controller to search their library for an artifact card, exile it, and then shuffle their library. This effect facilitates early artifact acceleration or recursion. The card’s secondary ability activates when it dies, permitting the player to return the exiled artifact card to its owner's hand. This cyclical interaction between exile and hand makes the Hoarding Dragon a flexible tool for deck builders looking to manipulate their library or recover key artifacts. Illustrated by Matt Cavotta, this card is part of the core set release from 2014, which established the foundational rules and card pool for the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. The Hoarding Dragon card from the Magic 2015 set features a mana cost of {3}{R}{R} and the ability to search for an artifact card upon entering the battlefield. As a Rare card, it holds a specific place within the set's checklist, appealing to those who track cards by their set code M15 and numerical position.
