Herdchaser Dragon

The reward for unmorphing is what tells you what this Dragon is built to do. Most megamorph cards spend their flip trigger on themselves: a counter to grow the flipped creature, a bounce, a one-time tempo swing. This one pays out across the whole board, strengthening the rest of your flight the moment it turns face up. That reframes the face-down cast from a stalling tactic into a payoff held in reserve: you bank the unmorph until the skies are crowded with your own Dragons, then flip it and the entire squadron surges at once. The body is modest (a 3/3 flier with trample that climbs to 4/4 when it turns face up), but it was never meant to carry a game alone. Its value scales with how many Dragons share the air, which is the entire design intent: a tribal lord with a delayed, surprise-timed activation rather than a static anthem. The megamorph cost is steep, but it buys an instant-speed window, so the flip can land mid-combat to ambush block math the opponent already committed to. Strip the Dragons out and the face-up trigger does nearly nothing; that conditionality is exactly the line between a generic flier and a tribal engine, and it tells you precisely what list this card was printed to reward.
