Dark Hatchling
Oracle Text
Flying
When this creature enters, destroy target nonblack creature. It can't be regenerated.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Dark Hatchling is a clean, brutal value creature that fits best in black control or midrange shells that want to stabilize the board while advancing a flying threat. At six mana, it is not cheap, but the payoff is immediate: a 3/3 flyer that also destroys a target nonblack creature on entry, giving you a solid tempo swing and a way to break through stalled boards. Because the removal is nonblack-specific, it’s especially good in metas full of multicolor commanders and utility creatures, though it will need help against black decks. In Commander, it pairs well with blink, reanimation, or bounce effects—think cards that can reuse the enter-the-battlefield trigger and turn one creature into repeated removal. Decks with sacrifice outlets or recursion engines can also make it stick around as a recurring threat. Thematically, it feels like a grim omen: a horror that emerges to snuff out one living target before taking to the skies.
