Artwork Description

The artwork on this card depicts Hippopotas charging fiercely through a surreal desert, with sand and debris flying wildly, steam puffing from its nostrils as it bursts forward with determined, unyielding power.

Playability Overview

Hippopotas offers a risk-reward playstyle with its coin-flip-based high-damage attack but is hindered by a high retreat cost, making it best used in decks that can capitalize on its burst potential quickly.
