Unchained Berserker

Description

The Unchained Berserker is a red Human Berserker creature from the Magic: The Gathering Core Set 2020, identified by card number 164. Designed by artist Bram Sels, this uncommon card enters the game with a mana cost of {1}{R} and a mana value of 2. As a 1/1 creature, it provides a low-cost option for red decks seeking early board presence. The card’s primary defensive utility comes from its protection from white ability. This effect prevents the Unchained Berserker from being blocked by white creatures, targeted by white spells or abilities, dealt damage by white sources, or enchanted and equipped by white permanents. This makes it particularly useful for navigating interactions against white-based strategies. Offensively, the Unchained Berserker gains +2/+0 as long as it is attacking. The flavor text, "Sathros turned his restraints to revenge," hints at the creature's aggressive nature and backstory within the Magic universe. This card appears in the base checklist of Core Set 2020. Its straightforward mechanics and distinct protection ability make it a recognizable piece of the M20 expansion. Whether building a thematic library or completing a collection, the Unchained Berserker stands as a functional and thematic element of the Core Set 2020 release. The card is a staple for those interested in the red color pie's aggressive strategies and white-protection mechanics.
