Shrewd Hatchling

Description

Shrewd Hatchling is a 6/6 Creature — Elemental from the Modern Masters 2015 expansion, designated as card number 198 with a rarity of Uncommon. This card requires a mana cost of three generic mana and one mana each of blue and red to cast, resulting in a mana value of four. Its dual-color identity allows it to interact with both blue and red spells, creating a versatile presence on the battlefield. The card’s mechanics center on a delayed entry effect. When Shrewd Hatchling enters the battlefield, it arrives with four -1/-1 counters, temporarily lowering its power and toughness. Players can remove these counters by casting blue or red spells, or by spending {U/R} to prevent the creature from being blocked. This design creates a strategic rhythm where the player must establish their color commitment early to fully realize the card's potential. The Shrewd Hatchling card number places it firmly within the base checklist, making it a standard addition for those completing the MM2 set. Its artwork by Carl Frank adds visual interest to the card, though the mechanical depth is what primarily drives its collectibility. Shrewd Hatchling is a 2015 Magic: The Gathering card from the Modern Masters 2015 set. The specific card number and set code (MM2) help verify its authenticity and origin.
