Reliable Compass, Reliable Draw
Compass Gnome is a compact utility creature that earns its slot in decks that need consistent land sequencing. Compass Gnome enters the battlefield and lets you search your library for a basic land card or a Cave card, reveal it, then shuffle and place that card on top. As a 2/1 Artifact Creature Gnome for {2} it can trade early or chip in evasion while it does the important work of setting up your next draw.
In Lost Caverns of Ixalan builds that use Caves or lean on steady land access, Compass Gnome trades tempo for predictability in a straightforward way. The printed effect pairs nicely with scry or top-deck manipulation and rewards players who plan their next turn ahead. For draft, cube, or casual cube-like shells, this card smooths mana and keeps late game sequencing reliable without demanding complicated synergies.
