Zirilan of the Claw

# Zirilan of the Claw Zirilan of the Claw represents an early exploration of red's dragon-focused identity in Magic. This Mirage rare offers a unique effect: the ability to temporarily cheat dragons into play, creating explosive turns that defined red's aggressive potential during the mid-1990s. Collectors value it as a foundational piece of dragon strategy, before the creature type received dedicated support in later sets. The card's appeal lies in its mechanical innovation rather than raw power level. Nonfoil copies from Mirage remain the only printing for decades, making condition and centering relevant to serious collectors. It's sought primarily by dragon enthusiasts and players interested in Magic's historical approach to red creatures, rather than competitive demand.
