Abzan Beastmaster

Description

This Magic: The Gathering trading card game card features a foil finish and was illustrated by Scott Murphy. Abzan Beastmaster is a Green Creature — Dog Shaman with a mana value of three. It enters the battlefield as a 2/1 Dog Shaman. The card’s primary function lies in its upkeep trigger. At the beginning of the controller's upkeep, they draw a card if Abzan Beastmaster controls the greatest toughness among creatures they control, or is tied for that distinction. This mechanic encourages players to evaluate their board state continuously, rewarding decks that field high-toughness creatures or utilize token strategies to maintain the comparison threshold. The flavor text notes that his beasts move the great siege towers of the Abzan across the endless sands, grounding the creature in the faction's desert warfare lore. Collectors of Magic: The Gathering often add this release to their holdings due to its combination of the Rare rarity and the distinct foil treatment. The card's straightforward yet interactive mechanic provides a consistent value engine that has maintained interest among players who appreciate tactical decision-making during the upkeep phase. Whether used in constructed play or simply admired for its foil aesthetic, the Abzan Beastmaster remains a notable component of the 2015 promotional calendar.
