Description
As card number 89 in the Gatecrash (GTC) set, this release features a red mana cost and a mana value of three. The card depicts a Beast creature type with a power and toughness of 3/4, designed by artist David Rapoza. Ember Beast is notable for its distinct gameplay mechanic, which prevents the creature from attacking or blocking unless supported by other allied permanents. This restriction adds strategic depth, requiring players to consider board presence and synergy when including it in their decks. For collectors, the foil treatment offers a shimmering finish that distinguishes it from non-foil counterparts within the same set. Collectors often seek out individual cards from Gatecrash to complete their sets or to build specialized collections based on creature types. The Ember Beast represents a common rarity within the expansion, yet its foil variant holds interest for those who appreciate the visual appeal of processed cards. Whether you are a seasoned Magic: The Gathering enthusiast or new to the trading card game, this product provides a tangible piece of TCG history from the Gatecrash era.
