Karn's Bastion: Slow Build for Big Payoffs

Karn's Bastion is a utility land that rewards patient play. It taps for a colorless pip on demand and offers a repeatable proliferate on a predictable timetable. In multiplayer commander games this card becomes an accelerant for +1 counters or charge counters while also fueling affinity style synergies that care about artifact counts.

Play it early as a mana source and keep it as a modular engine. Spend four mana and tap to proliferate, then repeat later as needed. The flavor lines up with Karn's role as a custodian and builder. Practical players will slot this into midrange and artifact focused decks where incremental counter growth wins long games.
