Seethe and Scale
Akawalli, the Seething Tower is a compact grinder that rewards a graveyard driven plan. As a Legendary Creature Fungus with a base 3 3 body, Akawalli offers staged upgrades through its Descend abilities. With four permanents in your graveyard you gain a reliable +2 +2 and trample which turns the creature into a practical threat. Reach the second threshold and the Tower becomes a heavier attacker that is harder to block, which matters in attrition matchups.
Use Akawalli in decks that accelerate sacrifice synergies or that fill the graveyard with permanents such as lands and artifacts. The card's printed Descend wording provides clear timing windows for turning board stalls into momentum. In limited play Akawalli functions as a late game closer while in constructed shells it pairs well with dredge effects and self mill. Practical, predictable and scalable is how experienced players describe its role in The Lost Caverns of Ixalan.
