Analyze the Pollen — Evidence or Land, Your Call
Analyze the Pollen gives you a tidy piece of utility that reads like a practical investigation. Cast it for one green and decide at the table whether you will collect evidence by exiling cards from your graveyard to reach a total mana value of eight. If you do not collect evidence you still get a reliable land tutor. If you do collect evidence you upgrade your tutor to include creatures as well. The choice is immediate and clear which makes it useful in grindy midrange builds and graveyard synergies.
On the lore side this card feels like a forensic sweep through Karlov Manor. You trade spent resources from the graveyard to pull a solution from your library. That tradeoff fits decks that plan around recursion or that need flexible answers in the midgame. Keep it in your sideboard for matchups where consistency matters or slot it into a deck that can both fuel and benefit from exile as a resource.
