About Crown-Hunter Hireling

Crown-Hunter Hireling, Creature — ogre mercenary, designed by Izzy first released in Aug, 2016 in the set Conspiracy: Take the Crown and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 4.80.

This card would be beneficial in a deck that focuses on maintaining control of the monarch status, such as a red aggressive deck that aims to deal consistent damage and keep the opponent on the defensive. While Crown-Hunter Hireling's ability to become the monarch upon entering the battlefield can provide a strategic advantage, there are potentially better cards like Skyline Despot or Palace Jailer that offer additional benefits for being the monarch. Whether Crown-Hunter Hireling should see play ultimately depends on the specific strategy and synergy within the deck, but it could be a valuable inclusion in the right build.

Rules

08/23/16

Being the monarch carries two inherent triggered abilities. “At the beginning of the monarch’s end step, that player draws a card” and “Whenever a creature deals combat damage to the monarch, its controller becomes the monarch.”

08/23/16

Crown-Hunter Hireling can attack only the monarch or a planeswalker controlled by the monarch. This check is done only as attackers are declared. After that point, Crown-Hunter Hireling won’t be removed from combat if that player ceases to be the monarch.

08/23/16

If the triggered ability that causes the monarch to draw a card goes on the stack, and a different player becomes the monarch before that ability resolves, the first player will still draw the card.
