Miner's Guidewing (The Lost Caverns of Ixalan) Near Mint Foil

Guidewing Scout

Miner's Guidewing is a tight, efficient one drop that pulls double duty in aggressive and synergy builds. The card name matters in gameplay because it brings flying and vigilance to the table on turn one then trades value when it dies. In limited or cube play the 1 1 body and evasive vigilance mean it can chip through or hold the line while leaving mana open for follow up plays.

When Miner's Guidewing dies it forces a small but meaningful decision for your board state by making a creature you control explore. That interaction favors creatures that benefit from counters or from card draw. Use it to push a key creature over a combat threshold or to dig for lands and gas during tight sequences. The Lost Caverns of Ixalan art keeps the card grounded in the set lore while the foil finish highlights its utility in both casual and competitive decks.
