Gore-House Chainwalker is a Common creature card from the 2012 Magic: The Gathering Return to Ravnica expansion, identified as card number 96 in the set. This Human Warrior requires two mana to cast and enters the battlefield with a base power and toughness of 2/1. Its primary mechanical identity revolves around the Unleash ability, which allows the controller to choose whether the creature enters the field with a +1/+1 counter. This decision creates a strategic trade-off: the creature can enter with enhanced stats to apply immediate pressure, or it can enter without the counter to remain eligible for blocking opponents' attackers. Designed by Dan Murayama Scott, this card represents the gritty, urban fantasy aesthetic of the Ravnica plane. The flavor text hints at the card's thematic origins within the city's criminal underworld, suggesting a creature associated with coercion and physical dominance. For collectors, this card serves as a tangible piece of Magic history from a pivotal era in the game's design. The enduring appeal of Magic: The Gathering lies in its depth and variety, and cards from Return to Ravnica continue to be sought after for their unique design and gameplay potential.
