Beast

The Beast token, designated T1 in the Duel Decks: Garruk vs. Liliana set released in 2007, was produced by Wizards of the Coast as a utility card to represent creatures summoned by spells like Garruk Wildspeaker’s ability. This set served as the inaugural entry in the Duel Decks series, designed to provide ready-to-play, thematic decks that pitted iconic planeswalkers against one another, effectively highlighting the mechanical and narrative identity of the game's color pie.

The card features artwork by Jeremy Jarvis, whose illustrative style emphasizes the raw, primal energy associated with green-aligned creatures in the Magic: The Gathering multiverse. The design intention was to provide a distinct, high-quality physical marker for players to track battlefield states, moving away from the use of improvised tokens. Upon its release, the card was well-received by the player base for its functional clarity and as an essential component for competitive and casual gameplay involving Garruk-centric strategies.
