Hagra Mauling // Hagra Broodpit

Hagra Mauling // Hagra Broodpit was released in 2020 as part of the Zendikar Rising expansion for Magic: The Gathering. The set marked a return to the plane of Zendikar, emphasizing exploration and adventure through the inclusion of modal double-faced cards. This mechanic allowed players to choose between a spell and a land side, providing tactical flexibility that became a hallmark of the set's design philosophy.

The card was illustrated by Johannes Voss, whose work frequently features in the game. The visual design depicts the murky, dangerous landscape of the Hagra region, capturing the oppressive atmosphere of the swamp-like terrain. Upon its release, the card was widely recognized for its utility in competitive formats, as it effectively functioned as a removal spell that could double as a mana source when needed, helping players mitigate the issue of drawing too many lands in the late game.
