Nightwatch on the Riverbank
Gurmag Nightwatch is a compact value engine that fits cleanly into controlling blue black builds. When Gurmag Nightwatch enters the battlefield you surveil the top three cards of your library then choose one to keep on top while the rest hit the graveyard. That trigger doubles as card selection and graveyard seeding, making the Nightwatch useful in decks that leverage both library manipulation and value from the yard.
This Near Mint Foil from Tarkir Dragonstorm presents the card in collector quality while staying fully playable in casual and sanctioned formats. The 3 3 body blocks efficiently and the enter the battlefield interaction is simple to sequence with draw steps and delve effects. If you run blue black midrange or a graveyard focused shell, Gurmag Nightwatch is a pragmatic inclusion that tightens consistency and supports later synergies.
