Marketback Walker — Scales with Investment
Marketback Walker Extended Art from Aetherdrift rewards deliberate plays. The card enters with X +1/+1 counters so your opening X defines its immediate threat level. It also offers a repeatable investment line with a four mana activation to add another counter and a payoff when it dies by drawing cards equal to its counters. This makes the Walker a flexible midrange tool in artifact and counters shells where incremental growth and card advantage matter.
The extended art print shows a layered market cityscape that fits the Aetherdrift tone and suggests supply and demand translated into counters. In practice Marketback Walker pairs well with anthem effects and proliferate strategies and scales into a closing threat or a steady value engine. If you expect board trades and attrition, cast it with enough X to ensure it survives to trade or to generate multiple card draws when it dies.
