Primal Huntbeast

Creature — Beast3 generic manaGreen mana

Hexproof and nothing else: no relevant body bonus, no evasion, no second ability to make the four mana feel spent on more than untargetability. That stripped-down build is the point. This is a vanilla creature in everything but the keyword, designed to demonstrate what hexproof does in isolation, which is why it shows up so often as a teaching card and a baseline. The strategic value is narrow but real: a 3/3 that opposing removal and targeted abilities cannot touch is a stable platform for Auras and equipment, since anything you attach stays attached as long as your opponent can only answer it by blocking or sweeping the board. The cost of that stability is paid in raw rate. Four mana for a 3/3 is a body well behind the curve, and hexproof does nothing to protect against the answers that ignore targeting (a Wrath effect, a chump-and-trade, an edict that forces sacrifice rather than choosing). So the card lives entirely on the resilience axis: it is built to carry a payload, not to win a fight on its own stats. Strip away the question of what to suit it up with and there is little here, which is exactly the honesty of the design. It is hexproof, rendered plainly, with no rider to muddy the lesson.
