Steady Columns of the Dalkovan Packbeasts
Dalkovan Packbeasts is a pragmatic inclusion for white midrange and token synergies. The card pairs a defensive zero four body with vigilance, letting it block reliably while still attacking. Its Mobilize 3 ability translates an otherwise passive creature into a token engine that pressures opponents and fuels sacrifice or go wide strategies; experienced pilots will note how the three tapped attacking 1 1 Warrior tokens can bait blocks or trigger anthem effects on the way in.
Printed here as a Near Mint Foil from Tarkir Dragonstorm, the art shows burdened oxen hauling supplies across high plains, a small piece of Mardu life made playable. Use Dalkovan Packbeasts when you need a stall line that turns into offense or when you want repeatable bodies for value trades and combo scaffolding. Add it to decks that care about tokens, attack triggers, or board presence and you gain a dependable layer of interaction without overcommitting your mana curve.
