Description
Gnome of Better Trades
Market Gnome from The Lost Caverns of Ixalan is a tidy value engine in a white sleeve. The card reads plainly and does reliably what you want in grindy boards. When Market Gnome dies you gain 1 life and draw a card, which trades a removal for incremental advantage. Its 0/3 body buys time against aggressive beats and helps you stabilize while you set up your next move.
The second trigger rewards interaction with craft synergies. If Market Gnome is exiled from the battlefield while you are activating a craft ability you gain 1 life and draw a card. That line makes it relevant in decks that exile their own artifacts or use sac outlets that send cards beyond the bin. Use it as a defensive blocker that pays back or as a small combo piece that replaces itself and keeps tempo intact.
