Description
Strike the Vein
Hit the Mother Lode rewards timing and deck construction. Hit the Mother Lode is a sorcery that costs {4}{R}{R}{R} and uses Discover 10 to dig deep for a high impact play. The mechanic either lets you cast a dramatic topdeck for free or land a big addition to your hand while compensating you with tapped Treasure tokens when the discovered card has a lower mana value than the threshold.
In practical play that means you can build around the find or treat the spell as card advantage with incidental mana ramp. The card fits into decks that welcome variance and payoff from high mana spells or Treasure synergies. Use it after setting up a way to capitalize on free casts or to refill resources when the draw is smaller than expected.
Card Details:

- Card Text / Rules Text (Printed) – Discover 10. If the discovered card's mana value is less than 10, create a number of tapped Treasure tokens equal to the difference. (To discover 10, exile cards from the top of your library until you exile a nonland card with mana value 10 or less. Cast it without paying its mana cost or put it into your hand. Put the rest on the bottom in a random order.)
