Carte Magic Hellkite Hatchling

Hellkite Hatchling is one of those cards players keep asking about. Here is, in plain words, what its official text says, the rulings published by Wizards of the Coast, and the combos players actually run.

01

Official card text

Devour 1 (As this creature enters, you may sacrifice any number of creatures. It enters with that many +1/+1 counters on it.) This creature has flying and trample if it devoured a creature.

How it works : Hellkite Hatchling

Original English text — Wizards of the Coast / Scryfall

  1. #1· Wizards of the Coast

    Hellkite Hatchling has flying and trample if at least one creature was sacrificed as a result of the Hatchling's devour ability as it entered. It retains those abilities even if its +1/+1 counters are somehow removed.

    No other card is named in this ruling.

  2. #2· Wizards of the Coast

    If another creature becomes a copy of Hellkite Hatchling (due to Mirrorweave, for example), the second ability checks to see whether that creature — not the original Hellkite Hatchling — devoured a creature as it entered.

    No other card is named in this ruling.
