Target Minotaur

Description

Target Minotaur is a Common creature card from the 2017 Unstable expansion in the Magic: The Gathering trading card game, identified by set code UST. Designed by Warren Mahy, this card features the type line Creature — Minotaur Warrior and carries a mana cost of {1}{R}. With a mana value of two, it serves as an early-game option for red decks seeking immediate board presence. The card’s primary mechanical identity revolves around the Prowess ability. This triggered effect allows Target Minotaur to gain +1/+1 until end of turn whenever you cast a noncreature spell. This design encourages spell-slinging strategies, rewarding players who mix combat creatures with instants and sorceries to maximize the Minotaur’s offensive potential during combat phases. The card’s base stats of 2 power and 1 toughness make it a fragile but potentially explosive threat when supported by a rich hand of spells. Collectors often seek out cards from the Unstable set due to its humorous tone and experimental rules mechanics that diverge from the standard Magic: The Gathering gameplay experience. As a Common rarity card, Target Minotaur is accessible for builders looking to complete their Unstable collection or create casual decks that reflect the set's chaotic spirit. The card number 98c places it within the broader scope of the expansion, offering a distinct piece of the set's narrative and mechanical diversity. For enthusiasts of the Magic: The Gathering trading card game, understanding the interplay between creature stats and triggered abilities is key to appreciating cards like Target Minotaur. Whether for casual play or collection purposes, this card represents a fun and functional part of the Unstable era.
