Description
Deepfield Tactician
Benthic Biomancer is a compact one mana play that scales into a reliable card advantage engine. Cast it early, adapt it once and it becomes a resource sink that rewards incremental growth. Its adapt trigger and the subsequent draw then discard effect let you sculpt a hand while feeding +1/+1 counters into synergies that care about counters or creature size.
In Commander games this card functions as both a tax and a tool. It taxes opponents via incremental board presence and gives you selection through drawing and discarding. The merfolk wizard mutant fits well into decks that want to reuse graveyard picks or that punch through with anthem effects. Practical, efficient and easy to sequence with bounce or flicker effects.
