Akal Pakal, First Among Equals — Quietly Commanding
Akal Pakal, First Among Equals is a compact engine for artifact centered blue builds. This Legendary Creature Human Advisor costs {2}{U} and rewards you for deploying artifacts by digging into the top of your library at each end step. The card is a one five which makes it a reliable blocker while it grinds value. In Limited or Commander its trigger smooths draws and sets up graveyard synergies without demanding aggressive tempo plays.
Printed in The Lost Caverns of Ixalan and offered here as a Light Play foil, Akal Pakal sits squarely in artifact tempo shells and control decks that want steady card selection. Treat the ability as repeatable topdeck manipulator that converts small artifact plays into meaningful card advantage. The flavor ties to Ixalan exploration and political counsel which fits decks that lean on utility artifacts and careful sequencing rather than brute force.
