Creature — Elemental
As this creature enters, flip a coin. If the coin comes up heads, this creature enters as a 5/2 creature with haste. If it comes up tails, this creature enters as a 2/5 creature with defender.
Some take after their father, Stone, some after their mother, Fire.

Rulings (2)
- If a creature enters copying Molten Sentry, that creature's controller flips a coin to see what the copy will be.
- If a creature that's already on the battlefield copies Molten Sentry, it becomes a copy of whatever Molten Sentry already is (either a 5/2 creature with haste or a 2/5 creature with defender).
