"Surely it won't notice if I take—"

Artist: Johan Grenier

Rapacious Dragon is an example of the synergy between creature abilities and the generation of resources. The Dragon itself has a respectable power and toughness of 3/3, along with the flying ability, making it a solid airborne threat. However, the unique aspect of this card is its ability to generate two Treasure tokens when it enters the battlefield. These tokens can be crucial in ramping up mana or fixing mana colors, making it easier for players to cast spells from their hand.

The flavor text adds a layer of humor to the card, hinting at the Dragon's possessiveness over its treasure. Theria the Sly's underestimation of the Dragon's protectiveness ends up being her downfall, emphasizing that Dragons in the Magic universe don't take kindly to thieves. Johan Grenier's artwork is likely detailed, showcasing the might and majesty of the Dragon while also hinting at the treasure it guards.
