Ripscale Predator

Description

The Ripscale Predator is a Common creature card from the Magic: The Gathering Core Set 2020, released in 2019. Identified by card number 157 and the set code M20, this card features a six-mana Dinosaur with a power and toughness of 6/5. The creature is colored red and carries the menace keyword, which restricts blocking to two or more opposing creatures. This mechanical trait makes the Ripscale Predator a resilient presence on the battlefield, as opponents must commit multiple resources to neutralize its attack. Designed by Volkan Baǵa, the card’s flavor text highlights the creature’s disregard for boundaries between wild and urban landscapes, adding narrative depth to its physical form. As a base checklist card, the Ripscale Predator serves as a foundational element for collectors building complete Core Set 2020 collections. Its straightforward design and reliable stats make it a staple for players constructing red-based decks. The card’s mana value of 6 places it in the mid-to-late game curve, offering significant board presence when cast successfully. Collectors interested in dinosaur-themed subsets or the M20 expansion often include this card in their acquisitions.
