Echoing Orders
Abuelo, Ancestral Echo slots into control shells where tempo and repeated value matter. Abuelo, Ancestral Echo gives you a repeatable blink effect for creatures or artifacts you already own by paying one white and one blue mana and tapping. With flying and ward {2} Abuelo buys time in the air and punishes over eager removal. The printed ability reads as a short, reliable loop that rewards careful sequencing and protects key permanents from targeted answers.
Use Abuelo, Ancestral Echo to reset enter the battlefield triggers, dodge removal and reset counters that care about being reintroduced. The card plays well in blink decks or artifact synergies where recurring a piece each turn amplifies value. In lore terms Abuelo feels like a patient spirit that remembers old contracts and returns favors to those who keep the ritual, which fits the Lost Caverns of Ixalan mood without getting in the way of practical deck building.
