The Beetleback Chief is an Uncommon creature card from the Magic: The Gathering Planechase 2012 set, carrying the catalog number PC2-40. As a Goblin Warrior with a mana cost of {2}{R}{R} and a mana value of 4, this card introduces immediate board presence to Red decks.

Designed by Wayne England, the card features the classic Magic: The Gathering layout with a normal border typical of the PC2 set code. The flavor text notes the goblin military's reliance on bug-like tactics, hinting at the creature's role within the game's lore.
