Dragon's Herald

★★★☆☆ (3.2/5.0) (5 votes)

The most tolerable of the Herald cycle because Hellkite Overlord smashes face immediately and for at least 8, but still a pain in the butt to pull from a booster. See my de***ion of Angel's Herald if you want to knwo how i really feel.

Has anyone tried using this in a Jund aggro deck with Goblin Chieftain and Jund Hackblade?

You can sac a green, black and red creature as any one of the three required, but not all three. You *will* lose three creatures to get Hellkite Overlord out early. Having said that, you can use tokens if you have any out.

Oh hell yeah! Now I really start to think about EDH built around Vaevictis Asmadi...

My favorite flavor text amongst the heralds.

I love this card, I've consistently gotten a Hellkite Overlord on turn three or four in casual play. While I wouldn't win any tournaments with my {B}{R}{G} goblin deck built around this, it sure is fun to play. Dragon's Herald is terrible when considering card advantage, but man, Hellkite Overlord is such an awesome dragon, getting him out is totally worth sacrificing a bunch of little creatures. At least his mana cost isn't excessive, a red 1 drop 1/1 creature with an ability is always great.

At least it's a 1/1 goblin for R. This alone doesn't make this terrible. I think the ability is a neat little casual trick that you can pull off to bring out an awesome dragon. I like it. 3/5

This guy is the most fun of the herald cycle. Everyone's gonna jump on him to keep you from summoning a card that may or may not even be in your deck. Besides, he combos with Goblin Chieftain and Siege-Gang Commander, that's a plus.

It's hard to look at this little guy now without getting excited that Wizards is announcing something new.

You get a 1/1 for {R} so it's not bad to start with. Considering Jund has Devour you should have plenty to sacrifice. Off the top of my head there's Sprouting Thrinax and Jund Hackblade which count for any of the three colors, Dragon Fodder tokens, saproling tokens from the Thrinax or Mycoloth, and the Dragon's Herald itself. Now think about the fact that it puts an 8/8 flying, trample, haste with regenerate directly onto the battlefield. 3/5.

If the heralds had been commons and their overlords had been normal rares, this cycle might have been great for Limited (as well as being feasible intro pack material).

I was wondering if you can actually add this in zoo deck.
With so many one drops who know?

Well....at least it's strictly better than Crazed Goblin...but not by much.
