Yathan Roadwatcher — Graveyard Gatekeeper
Yathan Roadwatcher is a compact engine for recursion. Casting this near mint borderless Rare from Tarkir Dragonstorm sets up a mill that often reads like value, then rewards you by returning a creature with mana value 3 or less straight to the battlefield. The card plays cleanly in midrange and sacrifice shells where a quick three three body and a timely reanimation swing the tempo in your favor.
Practical on the play and resilient on the draw, Yathan Roadwatcher fits into decks that want repeatable board presence without complex stack work. The mill clause is conditional on casting the creature which keeps play patterns meaningful; use it alongside self-mill, tutors, or a shallow graveyard to maximize targets. For a player who understands timing and resource sequencing, this card acts as a dependable graveyard gateway. Add it to your collection or deck and start testing lines that convert fodder into threats.
