Argent Dais Extended Art
Argent Dais is a thoughtful addition to midrange and control builds. This artifact enters the battlefield with two oil counters, establishing an early resource you can use to steer the pacing of the game. As two or more creatures attack, you add another oil counter, rewarding patient sequencing and rewarding you for committing to the board state. The oil counter mechanic encourages deliberate combat steps and maps neatly onto attrition plans that rely on incremental value.
When you are ready to disrupt a key piece of your opponent's setup, you can pay two mana and tap to remove two oil counters. The effect exiles another target nonland permanent and forces its controller to draw two cards, providing selective removal with a card draw swing. The foil extended art presentation highlights the art and oil counters, but the card's real utility lies in its ability to tempo and control the battlefield through a steady oil counter engine.
