Opportunistic Dragon

Description

Opportunistic Dragon, card number 364, is a distinct creature card from the 2019 Magic: The Gathering set Throne of Eldraine. As a four-mana red Dragon with a power and toughness of 4/3, it brings immediate impact to the battlefield. The card features the Flying ability, allowing it to bypass ground blockers, and includes a potent enters-the-battlefield trigger that targets an opponent's Human or artifact. When Opportunistic Dragon enters play, you choose one target Human or artifact controlled by an opponent. You gain control of that permanent for as long as the Dragon remains on the battlefield. During this time, the stolen permanent loses all its abilities and cannot attack or block. This effect provides a strategic advantage by removing key threats or valuable artifacts from your opponent's side while simultaneously adding a formidable 4/4 flyer to your own forces. The ability to strip abilities makes it particularly effective against creatures with disruptive or synergistic effects. Designed by Chris Rahn, this card represents the adventurous and fairy-tale-inspired aesthetic of the Throne of Eldraine set. Collectors and players alike value Opportunistic Dragon for its versatile control capabilities and its role as a staple red creature. Whether you are building a competitive deck or adding to your Magic: The Gathering collection, this Rare card offers both mechanical depth and thematic consistency. The combination of Flying and temporary control removal makes it a notable inclusion for decks focused on disrupting opponent strategies. As part of the Throne of Eldraine expansion, Opportunistic Dragon stands out as a key piece for enthusiasts of the game's creature mechanics.
