Description
Released in 2004 as part of the Magic: The Gathering Unhinged expansion, the Six-y Beast is a distinctive uncommon card that embodies the set's signature humor. This red Creature — Beast, numbered 89, features artwork by Anson Maddocks and costs {3}{R} to cast. Its mana value of 4 places it in the mid-range for creature deployment, appealing to players who enjoy interactive gameplay elements. The card’s unique mechanic requires the controlling player to secretly assign up to six +1/+1 counters as it enters the battlefield. An opponent must then guess the exact number; an incorrect guess allows the creature to stay, while a correct guess results in its immediate sacrifice. This guessing game adds a layer of bluffing and psychological play that defines the Unhinged experience. Collectors value this card for its clever design and its role in the alternative format of Magic: The Gathering. The card remains a memorable piece of TCG history, showcasing the creative freedom of the Unhinged line without compromising on strategic depth.
