Uchbenbak Unbound
Uchbenbak, the Great Mistake plays like a compact comeback engine. The card reads with straightforward utility: vigilance and menace let it trade or press through damage while staying relevant as an attacker or blocker. Cast Uchbenbak for {3}{U}{B} when you need a resilient body that pressures life totals and anchors a graveyard plan.
The Descend clause gives a clear route back from the graveyard once you reach eight permanents there. When it returns it carries a finality counter which affects how it interacts later on the battlefield. Use sacrifice synergies, recursion triggers, or mass creature flicker to make the most of Uchbenbak in midrange or control shells that lean into graveyard density and tempo swings.
