Veteran Explorer
Oracle Text
When this creature dies, each player may search their library for up to two basic land cards, put them onto the battlefield, then shuffle.
Card Details
Mana CostSet
Character Background
Veteran Explorer’s flavor is plain and clever: a lone green scout who, in death, leaves a map of basics for everyone — mechanically a cheap one-drop that trades tempo for symmetric ramp. It best supports ramp/value and landfall or Scapeshift-style game plans that want extra land drops rather than pure aggro or control, and it’s also a soft enabler in multiplayer politics where giving everyone lands can be an acceptable cost. A specific synergy is to slot it into landfall builds (Avenger of Zendikar, landfall triggers) or into Scapeshift/Valakut shells that benefit directly from more basics; also consider pairing with sacrifice outlets so you can reliably trade it for a useful trigger early. Deckbuilding tip: prioritize a high basic land count and predictable shuffle effects so the search rarely fizzles, and be mindful that it ramps opponents — include ways to punish or outvalue them from the extra lands (token generators, mass landfall payoffs, or a faster mana curve).
