Flavour Text:

• "I watched him rip a Phyrexian dreadnought in half once. A few vampires will barely slow him down." -Huatli

Card Ability Explanation:

• Hulking Raptor has two key abilities:
  • Ward 2: This ability provides protection to the creature. If it becomes the target of a spell or ability controlled by an opponent, that opponent must pay an additional {2} or the spell/ability is countered. This makes it difficult for your opponents to easily remove the Raptor.
  • At the beginning of your precombat main phase, add GG: This ability generates two green mana (GG) at the start of your precombat main phase. This extra mana can be used during your main phase for casting spells or activating abilities.

Overall Impression: Hulking Raptor is a robust dinosaur creature that not only has a strong power and toughness but also has ward to protect itself. Additionally, it provides extra mana each turn, allowing you to cast larger spells or have more flexibility with your mana usage. It can be a formidable presence on the battlefield, especially when paired with other cards that benefit from having additional mana.
