Ride the Central Elevator — Promise the Stairs
Central Elevator / Promising Stairs from Duskmourn: House of Horror reads like a utility play for midrange decks that prize tempo and board manipulation. Central Elevator functions as a steady land that smooths mana and offers a late game mode to reposition threats. Promising Stairs gives a transient advantage when you need to reset a blocker or save a key creature, and the modal pairing rewards pilots who plan when to cash in the utility.
In tournament practice this card slots into decks that value flexible answers and sequencing. Use Central Elevator to hit your curve and keep options open, then flip or cast Promising Stairs to disrupt combat or deter removal. The card carries the set tone: quiet menace and practical tools rather than flashy combos. Near Mint English print here makes it ideal for play and collection.
