Queen's Bay Paladin (Extended Art) (The Lost Caverns of Ixalan) Light Play

Queen's Bay Paladin Returns

Queen's Bay Paladin is a practical choice when you need a resilient late game threat that also fuels graveyard recursion. Casting for {3}{B}{B} yields a 5/4 Vampire Knight that immediately pressures life totals. Its triggered ability reads cleanly in combat and on entry so you can plan plays around returning a key Vampire from your graveyard and sequencing attacks with predictable results.

The Extended Art treatment fits the Lost Caverns of Ixalan aesthetic and highlights the card's flavor as a reclaiming champion of the bay. In play this card enables looping with sac outlets and sets up high impact reanimation lines while the life loss equal to the returned card's mana value keeps the decision meaningful. If you build around Vampire synergies this Paladin slots into both aggressive and midrange shells with reliable tempo and board presence.
