Xenosquirrels

Description

Released in 2022 as part of the Magic: The Gathering Unfinity expansion, the Xenosquirrels card (number 382) introduces a whimsical yet mechanically engaging creature to the game. As a Common rarity, this foil version offers collectors a shimmering alternative to the standard print run while maintaining the core gameplay identity of the original release. The card depicts an Alien Squirrel with a mana cost of one generic mana and one black mana, resulting in a mana value of two. The gameplay of Xenosquirrels revolves around its entry effect and subsequent interaction with die rolls. Upon entering the battlefield, the creature arrives with two +1/+1 counters already attached, providing immediate board presence despite its base power and toughness of zero. The card's unique ability allows the controller to manipulate die roll results after any roll in the game. By removing a +1/+1 counter from Xenosquirrels, players can increase or decrease the outcome of a die roll by one, adding a layer of strategic unpredictability that defines the Unfinity experience. Illustrated by April Prime, the card captures the lighthearted tone characteristic of the Unfinity set. For collectors of Magic: The Gathering trading cards, the foil treatment enhances the visual appeal of the card, making it a desirable addition to any collection focused on the Unfinity era. The combination of its humorous flavor text, distinctive foil finish, and interactive gameplay mechanics makes Xenosquirrels a memorable piece of modern Magic history.
