Character Background

Skittering Surveyor is a simple but highly reliable value piece in March of the Machine, best suited to control, midrange, and slower splash-heavy decks that want to hit land drops without spending a full card. As a 1/2 artifact Construct for three mana, it does not pressure the board much, but its enters-the-battlefield land search makes it a clean way to smooth early draws and fix your colors, especially in decks with several basics or cards that care about lands entering the hand. It pairs well with bounce or flicker effects, since replaying it turns one basic land into repeated card advantage and mana consistency. In lore terms, it feels like a small machine sent ahead to map out safe routes and gather resources amid the war-torn planes of the set. Use it when your plan is to stabilize, develop, and outlast rather than race.
