Lodestone Needle (The Lost Caverns of Ixalan) Light Play Foil

Needle in the Gloom

Lodestone Needle from The Lost Caverns of Ixalan brings a tight, tactical tool to blue artifact decks. The Light Play Foil finish makes the art pop while the card does its work. With a mana cost of {1}{U} and flash on the stack you can hold priority and drop interference at instant speed, tapping a troublesome artifact or creature and placing two stun counters to slow your opponent's tempo.

Craft provides a secondary plan that lets the Needle evolve into a transformed threat by sacrificing board resources or recurring artifacts from the graveyard. Players who pilot artifact synergies or tempo blue lists will find the Needle useful for stopping key plays and converting midgame parity into advantage. The card reads cleanly on resolution so it fits predictable interaction windows and sideboard plans.
