Description
The Covetous Dragon (Kb80) is a powerful five-mana artifact from the 1999 Magic: The Gathering World Championship Decks, specifically designed for competitive play during that era. As a rare red Dragon, this card commands attention with its impressive 6/5 power and toughness, alongside the flying ability that allows it to bypass ground-based blockers. Its unique drawback requires the controller to sacrifice the creature if they control no artifacts, creating a high-risk, high-reward dynamic that defines the strategic depth of the set. Collectors value this card not only for its gameplay mechanics but also for its historical significance within the Magic: The Gathering universe. The World Championship Decks were printed as official tournament-legal cards, making each copy a piece of competitive history. The Covetous Dragon’s flavor text hints at the lore of Keld, adding narrative weight to its physical presence. For investors and set builders, acquiring this card number is essential for completing the World Championship Decks collection. Whether you are looking to enhance your vintage collection or complete a specific set, the Covetous Dragon remains a standout piece for any serious Magic: The Gathering enthusiast.
