A 3\/2 with flying is a reasonable rate for the cost, but Aven Initiate's real appeal lies in its embalm ability—providing a second body as a white Zombie token if the game goes long. The high embalm cost and sorcery-speed restriction limit its impact in faster formats, and the token's lack of flying makes it a worse blocker than the original. Best suited to grindy Commander shells or casual formats where the late-game value proposition matters more than early efficiency.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eAmonkhet — Common\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Magic: The Gathering","offers":[{"title":"LP \/ Non-Foil","offer_id":45701701337132,"sku":"61203781-24ad-4bc9-9b69-97149f3043bc-LP-NF","price":0.03,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/4127\/7228\/files\/61203781-24ad-4bc9-9b69-97149f3043bc.jpg?v=1782293323","url":"https:\/\/shop.alpinearcana.com\/products\/aven-initiate-akh","provider":"Alpine Arcana","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
