Description
The Clockwork Beast, identified as card number 240 in the 1994 Magic: The Gathering Revised Edition (3ED), stands as a distinct Artifact Creature — Beast within the game's foundational history. Illustrated by Drew Tucker, this rare card features a mana cost of six and enters the battlefield with seven +1/+0 counters already placed upon it, establishing immediate presence on the board. The card's mechanics revolve around the management of these counters: at the end of combat, if the creature attacked or blocked, one counter is removed. Additionally, its activated ability allows players to put up to X +1/+0 counters on it during their upkeep, though the total cannot exceed seven. This mechanical loop defines the card's strategic identity in gameplay. For collectors, the Magic: The Gathering trading card game card represents a tangible piece of early digital-age fantasy gaming. The Revised Edition remains a cornerstone set for enthusiasts tracking the evolution of the genre. This product appeals to those interested in completing the Revised Edition series or building themed collections around artifact creatures. The combination of its historical significance, unique counter-based rules text, and Drew Tucker's artistic contribution makes it a notable entry for serious hobbyists.
