Gameplay
Creature — Elemental Dog
At the beginning of each opponent's upkeep, if that player has two or fewer cards in hand, this creature deals 2 damage to that player.
There is no fondness between the hound and its master. There is only a common appreciation of the hunt.

wotc
Hellfire Mongrel’s triggered ability has an “intervening ‘if’ clause.” That means (1) the ability won’t trigger at all unless the opponent whose turn it is has two or fewer cards in hand as their upkeep starts, and (2) the ability will do nothing if that player has three or more cards in hand by the time it resolves.
