Character Background
Marketback Walker reads like a slow, scalable value engine — you pay heavy X-based mana to create a construct that hoards +1/+1 counters and converts them to raw card advantage when it dies, so it best supports attrition/value or midrange builds that can either protect it or deliberately cash it in. Treat the {4}: ability as a late-game mana sink and a way to force favorable trade math: dump mana into counters, then sacrifice or chump-block for multiple draws. It pairs especially well with sacrifice outlets (Viscera Seer, Altar of Dementia) and counter doublers or proliferate effects (Doubling Season, Hardened Scales, Contagion Engine/Inexorable Tide) to amplify the death trigger. In deckbuilding, prioritize ramp and repeatable sacrifice or protection so the Walker becomes a recurring draw engine rather than a dead body: ramp into a big X, use +1/+1 synergies, then either protect it with removal insurance or sacrifice it for massive card advantage.
