Gravestone Strider is a compact workhorse for graveyard strategies that rewards tight sequencing. As an Artifact Creature Golem with a casting cost of {2} it offers a steady source of flexible mana with a tap free ability that can be used once per turn. The body is a 1/3 which buys time against early aggression while the activated graveyard exile ability trades itself for targeted removal of a card in any graveyard, which can disrupt reanimation lines and key flashback targets.
This card sits comfortably in midrange and control shells that want utility and interaction from low cost pieces. Use the mana ramp to fix colors or accelerate a play and keep the exile option in reserve as a removal tool when opponents rely on graveyard engines. The flavor fits the Murders at Karlov Manor theme with a construct born from empty tombs and sent to tidy up lingering threats. Practical, precise and easy to slot into decks that value resource denial.
