Hellfire Mongrel

Creature — Elemental Hound


At the beginning of each opponent's upkeep, if that player has two or fewer cards in hand, Hellfire Mongrel deals 2 damage to him or her.

There is no fondness between the hound and its master. There is only a common appreciation of the hunt.

    In a Two-Headed Giant game, this ability will potentially trigger twice at the beginning of the opposing team's upkeep — once for each player on that team.
  • 2009-10-01
    Hellfire Mongrel's triggered ability has an "intervening 'if' clause." That means (1) the ability won't trigger at all unless the opponent whose turn it is has two or fewer cards in hand as his or her upkeep starts, and (2) the ability will do nothing if that player has three or more cards in hand by the time it resolves.
