Where it came from
Beast Within was originally introduced in the 2011 set New Phyrexia, designed by Ken Nagle. It represented a mechanical shift for the green color identity, providing players with a versatile, albeit costly, way to destroy any permanent in exchange for a 3/3 Beast token. The card was immediately recognized for its raw power and flexibility, becoming a staple in Commander formats for its ability to handle threats that green historically struggled to remove.
The 2012 Planechase reprint features illustration by Greg Staples, who rendered the transformation with a visceral, organic aesthetic that emphasizes the chaotic nature of Phyrexian influence. Released as part of a supplemental product designed to enhance multiplayer play, this version retains the core mechanics of the original while situating the card within the thematic context of the plane-hopping adventures of the Multiverse.
