Gnome Tactician
Adaptive Gemguard is a compact engine for artifact and creature builds that rewards careful board development. As a 3 3 Artifact Creature Gnome for {3}{W}, it grows steadily when you tap two untapped artifacts or creatures you control to put a +1/+1 counter on it. The activation reads like a slow clock you can feed with tokens or cheap artifacts to convert board presence into an efficient threat.
In Lost Caverns of Ixalan decks, Adaptive Gemguard fits where incremental advantage matters. Use it in a midrange shell to tax attacks and trades or in an artifact synergy list to turn small pieces into a larger blocker or attacker. The printed foil art and Near Mint condition make this copy suitable for play and display without changing its practical role at the table.
