Flying, trample
Spellheart Chimera's power is equal to the number of instant and sorcery cards in your graveyard.

Where it came from
Spellheart Chimera was originally introduced in the Theros expansion and later featured in the Commander 2016 set as part of the Yidris, Maelstrom Wielder preconstructed deck. Designed for Magic: The Gathering, the creature serves as a mechanical engine for graveyard-based spell strategies, rewarding players for filling their discard pile with instant and sorcery cards. Its design reflects the Izzet League's thematic focus on chaotic magic and resource recycling.
The card was illustrated by Svetlin Velinov, a long-time contributor to the game known for his dynamic character work and mastery of fantasy lighting. Velinov crafted a visual identity for the creature that emphasizes its elemental, stitched-together nature, aiming to convey the instability inherent in its power. The card has been well-regarded by players for its efficiency in Limited and casual Commander formats, where it frequently serves as a powerful late-game threat.
