About Plaguemaw Beast

Plaguemaw Beast, Creature — phyrexian beast, designed by Whit Brachna first released in Feb, 2011 in the set Mirrodin Besieged and was printed exactly in 2 different ways. It's currently being selled by the minimum price of 4.80.

This Plaguemaw Beast card would be beneficial in a deck focused on +1/+1 counters or other types of counters, as it allows for easy proliferation. However, there are potentially better cards like Evolution Sage or Contagion Engine that offer more versatile or powerful effects for similar mana costs, so Plaguemaw Beast may not see play in competitive decks unless in a specific synergy-driven strategy.

Rules

03/19/21

If a permanent has +1/+1 counters and -1/-1 counters on it, they’re removed in pairs as a state-based action so that the permanent has only one of those kinds of counters on it.

03/19/21

You don’t have to choose every permanent or player that has a counter, only the ones you want to add another counter to. Since “any number” includes zero, you don’t have to choose any permanents at all, and you don’t have to choose any players at all.

06/01/11

You can sacrifice Plaguemaw Beast to pay the cost of its own activated ability.
