Veteran Ice Climber — Steady as the Glacier

The Veteran Ice Climber from Tarkir Dragonstorm is a compact tempo piece that quietly changes how a board evolves. Veteran Ice Climber pairs a low casting cost with vigilance and an unblockable presence, letting it chip in damage while staying upright to block later. Its mill trigger scales with its power which makes it useful in decks that buff creatures or exploit graveyards.

As a Near Mint Foil English print, this uncommon stands out on the table and fits into blue mill, tempo, and control shells where incremental advantage matters. The card’s flavor nods to Tarkir’s harsh highlands and the Scouts who map crevasses before a raid. Add Veteran Ice Climber to any list that values consistent utility and synergy with graveyard interaction.
