Description
Cenote Scout: Quiet Eyes on the Depths
Cenote Scout is a compact tool for green decks that want reliable exploration value. As a 1 1 Merfolk Scout that costs {G}, the Scout fills early board presence while pushing your draws. When Cenote Scout enters the battlefield it explores, which gives you a chance to dig for a land or to grow a steady attacker. That interaction is simple to read in game and it pays off in tempo or card advantage depending on the state of your library.
In the context of Lost Caverns of Ixalan this card fits teams that favor incremental upgrades and board development. Use Cenote Scout on the second turn to keep up pressure or later as a baiting body that may mature into a larger threat. Experienced pilots will note that the explore trigger smooths mana and trades well into common early blockers, making it a practical inclusion for both casual decks and tuned green lists.
