Oracle Text
At the beginning of each player's end step, if an artifact entered the battlefield under your control this turn, look at the top two cards of your library. Put one of them into your hand and the other into your graveyard.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Akal Pakal, First Among Equals is a classic value engine for blue decks that want to play a long game without spending much mana to do it. A 1/5 for three mana blocks early pressure well, buying time for a control or artifact-tempo shell to set up repeated end-step triggers. The reward is excellent card selection: if any artifact entered under your control that turn, you effectively turn each end step into a mini-draw spell plus graveyard setup, smoothing land drops and digging toward answers or finishers. Deckbuilding-wise, lean on cheap artifacts, Treasure makers, clue-style cards, and artifact creatures so the trigger turns on consistently on both your turn and potentially your opponents’ turns. Cards that flash in artifacts, sacrifice them, or recur them can keep the engine humming. The “First Among Equals” title fits the gameplay well—Akal Pakal doesn’t overpower the board, but quietly coordinates your resources into a steady, inevitable advantage.
