Creature — Beast5 generic manaRed mana

Morph-era design sold the unknown card as a threat, and this is the Beast tribe's spin on that gambit: a concealed body that flips into a 3/4 and hands every Beast you control a +3/+0 swing, a Trumpet Blast stapled to the unmorph trigger. That trigger is the entire pitch, since the buff lands the instant you turn the card up, mid-combat, after blockers are committed: you can ambush a defending team or smash through a stalled board the same way. The two costs sketch a deliberate tax. Three mana hides it; another 6 generic manaRed mana turns it up. That second number is the brake, and it is steep enough that the team buff has to actually decide a race rather than show up casually. The payoff scales with how many Beasts you have already deployed, which means the card only earns its activation in a board built for it; on an empty board it is a 3/4 that cost ten mana across two installments. Beast tribal was a recurring thread of the all-creature era this card comes from, but the type never had the cheap, dense roster that lets a single anthem-burst flip a clogged combat into lethal. The result is a payoff card whose ceiling was written for a tribe that never arrived in the quantities it needed.
