Nesting Dragon is a fearsome red creature with a casting cost of {3}{R}{R}. It's a 5/4 Dragon with flying, making it a formidable presence in the skies.

What sets this Dragon apart is its Landfall ability. Whenever a land enters the battlefield under your control, Nesting Dragon creates a 0/2 red Dragon Egg creature token with defender. But the story doesn't end there. When this Dragon Egg token dies, it doesn't just fizzle away. Instead, it transforms into a 2/2 red Dragon creature token with flying and the ability to pump itself for extra power by spending a red mana (R: This creature gets +1/+0 until end of turn).

This chain reaction of landfall-triggered Dragon creation makes Nesting Dragon an excellent addition to land-focused or ramp decks. With each new land drop, you not only strengthen your aerial presence but also potentially multiply it over time, turning your lands into mighty Dragons. Jehan Choo's artwork brilliantly captures the concept of a Dragon nesting and hatching from its eggs.
