Hunted Wumpus

Description

The Hunted Wumpus is a six-power Beast creature card from Magic: The Gathering’s 1999 Mercadian Masques expansion. Carrying the card number 253, this uncommon foil release features a mana cost of three generic and one green mana, resulting in a mana value of four. As a green-only card, it fits neatly into decks focused on green mana acceleration and large creature strategies. The card’s distinct gameplay effect triggers when it enters the battlefield, allowing each other player to choose whether to put a creature card from their hand onto the battlefield. This unique mechanic creates a strategic dilemma for opponents, balancing the risk of losing resources against the potential gain of a new threat.

Designed by artist Brian Snõddy, the Hunted Wumpus foil card offers collectors a visually striking addition to their Magic: The Gathering library. The foil treatment enhances the card's appeal, making it a desirable piece for enthusiasts of the Mercadian Masques set. Collectors often seek out this card to complete their set collections or to appreciate its unique interaction mechanics in gameplay.
