Beastbreaker of Bala Ged

Description

The Beastbreaker of Bala Ged foil card is a distinctive uncommon from Magic: The Gathering's 2010 Rise of the Eldrazi expansion, cataloged as card number 178 in the set. Designed by Karl Kopinski, this creature card represents a Human Warrior with a mana cost of one generic and one green mana, making it a low-cost addition to green-based decks. What sets this card apart is its innovative "leveler" mechanic, which allows players to pay two generic and one green mana to place a level counter on it. This transformation changes the creature's power and toughness dynamically: it begins as a 2/2, evolves into a 4/4 after receiving its first level counter, and becomes a formidable 6/6 with trample once it reaches four or more counters. This ability to grow in strength during the game offers strategic flexibility for collectors and players who appreciate adaptive gameplay elements. As an uncommon card, Beastbreaker of Bala Ged provides a balanced power level that fits well within the set's design philosophy. The foil treatment adds visual appeal, enhancing the card's collectibility for those who seek aesthetic variety in their Magic: The Gathering collections. Collectors often seek this card for its mechanical uniqueness and its role in the early Eldrazi-themed era of Magic. The combination of the foil finish, the leveler ability, and its status as a core uncommon makes it a notable piece for anyone interested in the strategic depth and artistic direction of the 2010 expansion. Whether you are building a themed deck or expanding your general collection, this card represents a key moment in Magic's evolution of creature mechanics.
