Barktooth Warbeard

A 6/5 vanilla body with a proper name and a triple-color tax on a two-color creature: this is the Legends design philosophy in its purest form, where legendary status was the ability, and the supertype itself was treated as a costed feature rather than a deckbuilding tag. The set printed a long bench of these: oversized humanoids with restrictive costs and stat lines that paid for the privilege of being unique under the old "only one in play" rule. The cost demands a dedicated Rakdos mana base to deliver a body that a much cheaper beater would now outclass. That uniqueness rule is gone, the rate has been lapped by thirty years of power creep, and the warrior creature type (which meant nothing in 1994) is the only mechanical hook the card has left. What remains documents how early Wizards was still working out that a legendary supertype should not, by itself, cost two mana and three points of stats. The Rakdos legends that came later, where the supertype stopped being a tax and started carrying real text, measure exactly how far the design ratio moved.
