Hypersonic Dragon

Description

Hypersonic Dragon, numbered 170 in the 2012 Return to Ravnica expansion, represents a distinct mechanical interaction within the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. As a five-mana creature with a power and toughness of 4/4, this Rare card appeals to players and collectors interested in the complex blue and red color identity that defines much of the Ravnica block's strategic depth. The card features artwork by Dan Murayama Scott, capturing the essence of the plane's diverse dragon population. The card's abilities offer unique tactical flexibility. It possesses Flying and Haste, allowing it to attack immediately upon entering the battlefield and bypassing ground-based blockers. More notably, it grants the ability to cast sorcery spells as though they had flash. This means players can activate powerful sorcery effects at instant speed, such as during an opponent's turn or in response to spells, adding a layer of unpredictability to deck construction and gameplay. Collectors of the Return to Ravnica set often seek out Hypersonic Dragon to complete their collection of the expansion's Rare cards. The card's flavor text, attributed to the legendary planeswalker Niv-Mizzet, adds narrative context to its presence in the Ravnica guilds. Whether used for competitive deck building or as a piece of the set's broader narrative, Hypersonic Dragon remains a recognizable and functional card for enthusiasts of the Magic: The Gathering trading card game.
