Deeproot Pilgrimage (The Lost Caverns of Ixalan) Light Play

Tidal March of the Merfolk

Deeproot Pilgrimage is a concise tool for Merfolk pilots who want incremental board presence without giving up tempo. For {1}{U} this enchantment turns the routine act of tapping nontoken Merfolk into steady value by creating a 1/1 blue Merfolk creature token with hexproof. The card rewards decks that tap creatures to attack, block, or activate abilities and fits neatly into tribal builds that aim to outnumber opponents rather than blow them out in a single turn.

In Lost Caverns of Ixalan lore these glyphs guide pilgrimages beneath coastal caverns and mark each step with a new recruit. Practical in both aggressive and midrange strategies the Pilgrimage smooths out swings and protects incremental advantages with hexproof bodies that are hard to remove with targeted spells. Include it where board presence, tribal synergy, and repeated triggers matter more than immediate removal answers.
