Cast Out Into The Earth
Great Red Dragon is a 7 Faith Wrath Age Dragon with 6 Strength and 8 Hope. Its ability triggers at the start and end of your turns, dealing 2 damage to all other beings and players, a true board-clearing, life-draining force. This card stands as one of the most devastating finishers in the game, combining relentless area-of-effect pressure with direct player damage, demanding attention from your opponent or delivering defeat.
This card's verse is Revelation 12:9:
"And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, [...]"
Strategic Use In Gameplay
In any late-game scenario where board control has been establishing your dominance, Great Red Dragon drastically shifts the battlefield. Its dual-phase area-of-effect ability ensures opponents either eliminate it quickly, risking their own board, or suffer irreversible damage drift. Beyond clearing enemy beings, it chips away at the opponents directly, synergizing beautifully with decks that aim to grind through the game and exhaust their adversary’s resources. This makes it a linchpin in Wrath control lists and tempo-oriented builds seeking a powerful endgame presence.
Synergies and Plays:
Board Sweep Threat: With 2 area-of-effect hits per full turn, the Dragon systematically dismantles enemy boards and weakens remaining creatures, ensuring dominance.
Win Condition Pressure: The 8 Hope allows it to survive multiple turns, while its area-of-effect ability chips away at opponents for a 7–10-point swing each round.
Wrath Control Anchor: Fits seamlessly into decks that leverage exile, board clears, and control tools, acting as the heavy-hitter that forces decisive removal or collapse.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Will the Dragon damage itself with its AOE effect?
A: No. The effect targets all other beings and players, meaning it does not harm itself, only opponents and their creatures.
Q: Can effects like Protect or Abundance stop the AOE damage?
A: Protect won’t apply because AOE damage bypasses being-targeted effects; however, Anointing can soak the first hit, giving the Dragon one free turn before damage applies normally.
Q: What's the best time to play Great Red Dragon?
A: Ideally on turn 7 or 8, when your opponent's board is developed but unable to eliminate it immediately.
