Description
Plot the Play
Chart a Course is a compact card advantage tool that fits cleanly into any tempo or control shell. For {1}{U} you draw two cards then discard a card unless you attacked this turn. The effect rewards decks that can both pressure an opponent and maintain card selection. In practice this card trades a small tempo requirement for consistent card flow and helps you find interaction or threats without bloating your curve.
In Lost Caverns of Ixalan flavor the spell reads like a navigational study rather than a gambit. The River Heralds uncover a map and your hand gets the same kind of revealed direction. Use Chart a Course early to refill after a sweep or late to dig for a win condition. It pairs well with evasive attackers and instant speed manipulation because meeting the attack condition is often trivial while the card quality remains high.
