Briarpack Alpha

Description

Briarpack Alpha is an Uncommon creature card numbered 634 in the 2022 Jumpstart 2022 expansion of the Magic: The Gathering trading card game. This green Wolf carries a mana cost of three generic mana and one green mana, totaling a mana value of four. Its type line identifies it strictly as a Creature — Wolf with power and toughness of 3/3. The card features two distinct abilities defined in its rules text. First, it possesses Flash, allowing it to be cast at instant speed rather than restricted to sorcery speed during a player's main phase. Second, when the creature enters the battlefield, it triggers an effect that grants a target creature +2/+2 until the end of the turn. This combination of speed and temporary power boost defines the card's mechanical identity within the game. Card number 634 places Briarpack Alpha within the base checklist of the Jumpstart 2022 set, designated by the set code J22. The card was illustrated by Daarken, whose work appears on this print run. The Briarpack Alpha card from the 2022 Jumpstart 2022 set features a Creature — Wolf with a mana cost of {3}{G} and a power/toughness of 3/3. The card's green color identity aligns it with the green mana color pool, appealing to players who build decks centered around that color's strategic themes. For those interested in the history of the Jumpstart 2022 release, this card serves as a concrete example of the set's creature design and mechanical offerings.
