Dinosaur Beast

Description

The Magic: The Gathering trading card game introduced the Dinosaur Beast token as card number 11 in the 2020 Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths Tokens set. Designed by Svetlin Velinov, this foil variant offers a shimmering finish that distinguishes it from standard printings within the same release. As a green creature token, it serves as a fundamental component for players building decks that rely on creature synergies and board presence. In gameplay, the Dinosaur Beast is a 0/0 token that enters the battlefield with power and toughness equal to the number of creatures you control, allowing it to grow significantly in mid-to-late game scenarios. Its Trample ability ensures that any excess combat damage beyond what is required to destroy blocked defenders is dealt directly to the opponent, making it a potent finisher in aggressive strategies. This mechanical design reflects the wild, beast-heavy theme of the Ikoria block, where creatures evolve and adapt to survive in a dangerous ecosystem. Collectors often seek out specific tokens from this era to complete their set collections or to appreciate the unique artwork and foil treatments associated with supplemental releases. The Ikoria: Lair of Behemoths Tokens set was created to provide official, high-quality representations of the tokens distributed with the main booster packs, ensuring consistency and durability for long-term play. Owning this card allows enthusiasts to showcase a piece of Magic history that bridges the gap between competitive utility and aesthetic appeal. Whether you are a seasoned player looking to expand your library or a collector focusing on foil finishes, this token represents a significant addition to any Magic: The Gathering archive.
