LegalRank #291
You may play an additional land on each of your turns.
Why is this card good?
Exploration is a premium one-mana enabler for any deck that wants to dump lands fast and snowball ahead of the table.
Why it's good: the extra land drop translates directly into more mana, more reliably, every single turn. Played early, it can accelerate you a full turn or two ahead — and unlike ramp spells, it keeps paying off as long as you have lands in hand. It's especially strong with card draw, fetches, or "play lands from anywhere" effects.
Best homes:
- Landfall decks (Lord Windgrace, Aesi, Tatyova) where each extra drop triggers value.
- Lands matter / reanimating lands (Crucible of Worlds, Ramunap Excavator) for double drops.
- High-powered green ramp shells wanting cheap, repeatable acceleration.
When to skip it: in decks without strong card flow, it fizzles once your hand empties — you draw one land per turn anyway. Avoid it in low-land, spell-heavy builds where you rarely have surplus lands to play. It rewards card advantage, not topdecking.
