About Arashin War Beast

Arashin War Beast, Creature — beast, designed by Eric Deschamps first released in Jun, 2002 in the set Magic Online Promos and was printed exactly in 3 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 0.06.

A deck that focuses on aggressive combat strategies and generating card advantage through manifesting would benefit from including Arashin War Beast. However, there are more efficient options available, such as cards that provide immediate value or have more impactful abilities upon entering the battlefield. While Arashin War Beast could be a fun inclusion in a casual or themed deck, it may not see competitive play due to its high mana cost and relatively slow ability.

Rules

11/24/14

Any time you have priority, you may turn a manifested creature face up by revealing that it’s a creature card (ignoring any copy effects or type-changing effects that might be applying to it) and paying its mana cost. This is a special action. It doesn’t use the stack and can’t be responded to.

11/24/14

Arashin War Beast’s ability will trigger only once per combat damage step, no matter how many creatures are blocking it.

11/24/14

Because face-down creatures don’t have names, they can’t have the same name as any other creature, even another face-down creature.

11/24/14

If a face-down permanent you control leaves the battlefield, you must reveal it. You must also reveal all face-down spells and permanents you control if you leave the game or if the game ends.

11/24/14

There are no cards in the Fate Reforged set that would turn a face-down instant or sorcery card on the battlefield face up, but some older cards can try to do this. If something tries to turn a face-down instant or sorcery card on the battlefield face up, reveal that card to show all players it’s an instant or sorcery card. The permanent remains on the battlefield face down. Abilities that trigger when a permanent turns face up won’t trigger, because even though you revealed the card, it never turned face up.

11/24/14

Turning a permanent face up or face down doesn’t change whether that permanent is tapped or untapped.

11/24/14

Unlike a face-down creature that was cast using the morph ability, a manifested creature may still be turned face up after it loses its abilities if it’s a creature card.
