Arashin War Beast

Description

Arashin War Beast is a seven-mana creature from the 2015 Fate Reforged expansion, serving as a formidable presence in Magic: The Gathering. As an Uncommon Beast, this card captures the essence of Gavi's Nest, the mythical plane central to the set's storyline. The foil finish adds a distinct visual appeal, making it a desirable addition for collectors focusing on finish variations within the FRF set. In gameplay, the Arashin War Beast functions as a 6/6 blocker that rewards aggressive tactics. Its primary ability triggers when it deals combat damage to one or more blocking creatures, allowing the player to manifest the top card of their library. This mechanic puts the card onto the battlefield face down as a 2/2 creature, offering strategic flexibility to turn it face up later if it is a creature card. This interplay between direct damage and card advantage makes the card a unique tool for commanders and limited formats alike. Designed by Eric Deschamps, the card is identified by number 123 in the Fate Reforged catalog. Collectors often seek this card to complete set collections or to build decks centered around the manifest mechanic. The combination of a high mana cost, a substantial body, and a unique recursive ability ensures that the Arashin War Beast remains a notable piece of Magic history.
