Cache the Growth

Explorer's Cache puts incremental value on the battlefield from the moment it arrives. Explorer's Cache enters the battlefield with two +1/+1 counters and then gains more when your creatures that already carry a +1/+1 counter die. That interaction rewards decks that move counters around and trade creatures efficiently, turning sacrifices into long term board presence. In Lost Caverns of Ixalan drafting and limited play this artifact reads like insurance for your creature plan without asking for a lot of setup.

Its activated ability moves a counter from the Cache onto a target creature at sorcery speed which makes it simple to bolster a blocker or push a creature through for lethal on your turn. Explorer's Cache pairs well with creatures that enter with counters or effects that proliferate them. The card fits a pragmatic playstyle common in the set where exploration yields slow but steady advantage rather than immediate spikes.
