About Hell's Thunder

Hell's Thunder, Creature — elemental, designed by Karl Kopinski first released in Oct, 2008 in the set Shards of Alara and was printed exactly in 3 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 0.98.

Hell's Thunder could be a strong addition to a red aggressive deck looking to close out games quickly with its flying and haste abilities, especially when combined with the ability to unearth for a second round of damage. However, in a competitive setting, there are more efficient options available such as Lightning Bolt or Goblin Guide, which offer immediate impact without the drawback of sacrificing itself. While Hell's Thunder may not see play in top-tier decks, it could still find a home in more casual or budget-friendly red decks looking for a versatile threat.

Rules

10/01/08

At the beginning of the end step, a creature returned to the battlefield with unearth is exiled. This is a delayed triggered ability, and it can be countered by effects such as Stifle or Voidslime that counter triggered abilities. If the ability is countered, the creature will stay on the battlefield and the delayed trigger won’t trigger again. However, the replacement effect will still exile the creature when it eventually leaves the battlefield.

10/01/08

If a creature returned to the battlefield with unearth would leave the battlefield for any reason, it’s exiled instead — unless the spell or ability that’s causing the creature to leave the battlefield is actually trying to exile it! In that case, it succeeds at exiling it. If it later returns the creature card to the battlefield (as Oblivion Ring or Flickerwisp might, for example), the creature card will return to the battlefield as a new object with no relation to its previous existence. The unearth effect will no longer apply to it.

10/01/08

If you activate a card’s unearth ability but that card is removed from your graveyard before the ability resolves, that unearth ability will resolve and do nothing.
