Unchained Berserker

Description

The Unchained Berserker is a red creature card from Magic: The Gathering's 2024 The List release, carrying the catalog identifier M20-164. Designed as a Human Berserker with a mana cost of {1}{R}, this uncommon card offers a compelling combination of defensive utility and offensive potential for players building their decks. The card’s ability grants protection from white, shielding it from being blocked, targeted, dealt damage, or enchanted by any white source. This defensive layer makes the creature a resilient presence on the battlefield, capable of surviving interactions that would typically eliminate lower-toughness threats. In addition to its protective abilities, the Unchained Berserker gains +2/+0 whenever it attacks, transforming its base 1/1 power and toughness into a formidable 3/1 threat during combat. This dynamic stat shift rewards aggressive playstyles and allows the card to punch above its weight class in the early game. The flavor text, "Sathros turned his restraints to revenge," hints at the card's thematic narrative, adding depth to its role within the game's lore. Illustrated by Bram Sels, the card fits seamlessly into The List's rotating selection of reprints and special prints, offering collectors and players a fresh take on a classic archetype. Collectors often seek out cards from The List due to their unique status as a dynamic archive of Magic: The Gathering history. The Unchained Berserker, with its clear rules text and straightforward mechanics, serves as an excellent example of the set's approach to bringing familiar concepts into new contexts. Whether you are looking to add a reliable early-game attacker to your collection or simply appreciate the design of a well-balanced creature, this card delivers on both fronts. Its inclusion in The catalog ensures that fans of the game can easily find this entry when browsing for Magic: The Gathering trading card game cards.
