Boilerbilge Overlord
Overlord of the Boilerbilges arrives as a compact engine of consistent damage and tempo. The card functions as an enchantment creature that can be cast normally or for its impending cost to delay its creature status while it accumulates clocks. When it enters or swings, its triggered ability deals four points of damage to any target, which gives reliable reach against planeswalkers blockers or low life totals. For decks that want pressure without overcommitting, the Overlord is a predictable clock and a clean answer to early board stalls.
From a lore perspective the Overlord fits Duskmourns atmosphere by blending industry and dread into a single avatar. Its impending clause lets you sculpt timing and interaction while its five five frame makes it a credible threat once active. Use it in midrange builds that capitalize on repeated attack triggers or in burn shells that appreciate repeatable four damage pulses. Add it to your curve when you need a durable threat that also doubles as targeted removal on entry and attack.
