Squirrel Stack

Description

The Squirrel Stack (228e) is a distinctive Artifact — Attraction from the 2022 Unfinity set in Magic: The Gathering. Designed by Andrea Radeck, this Uncommon card introduces a playful interactive element that breaks the fourth wall of the tabletop experience. Unlike traditional spells or permanents, this Attraction invites players to engage in a real-world physical challenge during their turn. The card’s primary ability is defined by the Visit mechanic. When activated, it grants the player five seconds to physically stack dice on top of one another. This mechanic adds a layer of tactile fun and spontaneity to the game, distinguishing the Un-set from standard competitive formats. Success depends on dexterity and speed rather than mana calculation alone. If the player successfully stacks at least five dice, they claim the prize. This reward creates a 1/1 green Squirrel creature token for every die stacked beyond the fourth. For example, stacking eight dice would result in five Squirrel tokens entering the battlefield. These tokens can then be used for blocking, attacking, or triggering other Squirrel-related abilities. After the tokens are created, the player must sacrifice the Squirrel Stack and open a new Attraction, adding another layer of unpredictable interaction to the game flow. Collectors of Magic: The Gathering trading cards often seek out Unfinity cards for their unique designs and humorous themes. The Squirrel Stack stands out as a memorable piece of the set’s legacy, representing the creative freedom that Un-sets provide. It serves as a conversation starter at game tables and a fun addition to any collection focused on the Unfinity era or creature-token strategies.
