Hidden Cataract—Cave of Opportunistic Draws
Hidden Cataract is a practical inclusion for blue decks that want repeatable tempo and a late game window into additional plays. Hidden Cataract enters the battlefield tapped and taps for {U}, which keeps early turns simple and predictable. The secondary ability trades the land itself for card advantage with a Discover four effect that lets you exile away until you find a nonland card with mana value four or less then either cast it for free or place it into your hand.
Use Hidden Cataract as a toolbox piece in control or tempo lists where finding a specific answer or threat matters. The cost and sacrifice clause mean this is best planned for turns when you can spare tempo and need a targeted solution. The card fits the Lost Caverns of Ixalan vibe by turning exploration into actionable value rather than a random reward.
