Uchbenbak, the Great Mistake (The Lost Caverns of Ixalan) Near Mint

Return of the Great Mistake

Uchbenbak, the Great Mistake is a compact lesson in graveyard engineering. This Legendary Creature brings vigilance and menace together with a 6/4 body that can both block reliably and pressure an opponent through evasive chump blockers. Casting Uchbenbak for {3}{U}{B} gives you immediate table presence while also setting up a graveyard plan that suits midrange decks that like recurrence and inevitability.

The descend ability reads like a built in resurrection protocol for long games. When you reach eight permanents in your graveyard you can pay {4}{U}{B} to return Uchbenbak with a finality counter on it. That finality counter turns repeat death into exile so it is a measured recursion tool rather than an infinite loop. Use it where timing matters and when you need a sturdy threat to close out a late game board state.
