Roil Cartographer
Oracle Text
Landfall — Whenever a land you control enters, you get {E} (an energy counter).
{T}, Pay six {E}: Draw three cards.
Card Details
Mana CostCharacter Background
Roil Cartographer is a quietly powerful value engine for blue decks that want to turn land drops into long-game advantage, especially in tempo or control shells that can afford to play a patient game. As a Merfolk Rogue, it fits the evasive, scheming side of Zendikar’s worldbuilding, but its real strength is mechanical: every land entering under your control stocks energy, and once you reach six, the Cartographer cashes in for a huge three-card burst. Because it only costs two mana and blocks reasonably well as a 1/3, it can stabilize early while building toward inevitability. The best deckbuilding tip is to pair it with landfall enablers and extra land drops—fetch lands, bounce lands, or cards that place multiple lands onto the battlefield all accelerate the draw engine. In Modern Horizons 3, it rewards careful sequencing and turns ordinary mana development into a reliable source of card advantage, making it much better in slower, synergistic blue shells than in aggressive builds.
