Where it came from
The Clockwork Beast was released in 1996 as part of the Magic: The Gathering Introductory Two-Player Set. Designed to serve as a gateway for new players, the set was curated to provide a balanced introduction to the mechanics of the game. The card features the signature watercolor style of artist Drew Tucker, known for his abstract and moody aesthetic that defined much of the early visual identity of the game.
Mechanically, the Clockwork Beast explores the modular nature of artifact creatures, allowing players to utilize counters to represent its strength. While the card is often remembered for its unique, whimsical illustration, it represents an era when game design was heavily focused on tactile, evolving interactions on the battlefield. It remains a notable piece for collectors interested in the foundational art styles and the experimental creature design of mid-1990s trading card games.
