Akawalli Ascends
Akawalli, the Seething Tower is a compact but scalable threat for graveyard-centric builds. Casting for {1}{B}{G} you get a 3/3 Legendary Creature Fungus that arrives with meaningful upside. Its Descend abilities reward deliberate decking and excavation of permanents into your yard; once you hit thresholds Akawalli becomes a larger, trample bearing attacker and later a nearly unblockable force against most defenses.
Use Akawalli to pressure life totals while you assemble a graveyard engine. In midgame play it functions as a finisher that grows predictably with the number of permanents you have lost, which pairs cleanly with sacrifice synergies and recursion spells. The card reads plainly and plays reliably, so slotting it into a Jund style or Golgari shell gives you a repeatable, board relevant creature that scales with your plan.
