Priest of the Crossing — Skyward Gravewarden
Priest of the Crossing has a quiet utility that fits straight into white midrange and token shells. The Extended Art shows the cleric poised above a drifting battlefield, which matches the card text: a three mana plus white investment that brings flying, board growth and a delayed payoff when your creatures die. Play it in token, sacrifice or aristocrat builds where every casualty translates into incremental board presence.
The creature grants Flying and a triggered ability that places X plus one counters on each creature you control at the beginning of each end step where X equals creatures that died under your control that turn. That makes it a potent end step engine for decks that sacrifice creatures or generate bodies during combat. If you want steady, repeating growth and an easy way to convert attrition into a widening board state, this Near Mint Extended Art from Commander Aetherdrift is a practical inclusion. Add it to decks that value resilience and late game inevitability.
