Malamet Veteran (The Lost Caverns of Ixalan) Near Mint

Veteran Stalker

Malamet Veteran is a practical choice when you need a heavy hitter that escalates with your yard. The card arrives at a cost of {4}{G} and brings Trample plus a descend trigger that rewards decks filling their graveyard. On attack the Veteran can put a +1/+1 counter on a creature once four or more permanent cards sit in your graveyard. That interaction makes it a dependable finisher for midrange builds that trade resources into the bin.

Play reads are straightforward. You get a 5/4 body that can push damage through blockers and grow your board presence when descend conditions are met. The card fits into Ixalan themed strategies that lean on sacrifice, self mill or value creatures to reach the four permanent threshold. Flavor notes hold that Malamet veterans hunt deep caverns and press advantage when the pack has bled enough to matter.
