Seasoned Echo, Tactical Rebound
Abuelo, Ancestral Echo plays like a toolbox spirit that keeps value on loop. As a Legendary Creature Spirit with flying and ward 2 Abuelo survives a lot of small answers while offering a repeatable flicker effect for creatures or artifacts you control. The activated ability costs 1 white blue and targets another permanent you control so you can protect key pieces, reuse enters the battlefield effects, or dodge removal until the next end step.
In Lost Caverns of Ixalan lore Abuelo feels like a guardian of memory. In practice the card fits midrangy control builds or blink shells that want a low cost recurring tool. With a modest 2 by 2 body it buys air time against ground attackers while its ability scales with your board. Play it when you need a resilient utility piece that rewards careful sequencing and timing.
