Lodestone Needle (The Lost Caverns of Ixalan) Near Mint

Needle of the Caverns

Lodestone Needle is a compact tool for tempo and interaction in blue artifact decks. Lodestone Needle enters with Flash and can immediately tap a problematic artifact or creature and place two stun counters on it, which buys time and removes attackers without committing a blocker. This card is useful in grindy matches where stalling a threat while you develop your board matters more than outright removal.

The card also offers a Craft route that leverages other artifacts in your graveyard or on the battlefield to flip it into something greater later in the game. Use Lodestone Needle to slow an opponent and then recur artifacts to complete its Craft cost. The printed text below matches the Lost Caverns of Ixalan release and is written exactly as it appears on the card.
