Hoverstone Pilgrim — Steady Skywarden
Hoverstone Pilgrim slots into midrange and control lists as a reliable traffic controller in the air. The card name Hoverstone Pilgrim points to an artifact creature that trades aggressively well thanks to a 2 5 body and flying for evasive pressure. Its ward ability forces opponents to spend extra resources to target it making the Pilgrim a persistent presence against burn spells and removal that target creatures.
Beyond combat, Hoverstone Pilgrim offers a long game utility with a repeatable graveyard interaction. For two mana you can tuck a card from any graveyard to the bottom of its owner library which closes reanimation windows and disrupts flashback lines. The card reads like a tactical piece you play to stabilize tempo, buy turns, and protect key planeswalkers or combo pieces in The Lost Caverns of Ixalan environments.
