Kitesail Larcenist (The Lost Caverns of Ixalan) Near Mint

Skybound Swindler

Kitesail Larcenist offers pragmatic utility for tempo focused blue decks. The card enters for {2}{U} and brings flying and ward {1} to the table, making it a reliable evasive threat that survives targeted removal more often than not. On entry it forces a small redistribution of resources by allowing you to choose up to one other target artifact or creature each player controls and convert those permanents into Treasures while the Larcenist stays on the battlefield. That conversion is immediate value in games where a single extra mana can seal a play or enable a counterspell sequence.

Use Kitesail Larcenist in lists that value incremental advantage and flexible answers. It pairs cleanly with sacrifice synergies and artifact recursion since the chosen permanents gain the ability to be tapped and sacrificed for one mana of any color. In Lost Caverns of Ixalan lore the Human Pirate is practical rather than flashy, preferring quick grabs and exits that keep a crew moving. On the table the Larcenist is a tool for resource denial and acceleration wrapped in a low cost evasive creature.
