Cast and Catalog
Hurl into History is a control toolbox in a card. As an uncommon instant from The Lost Caverns of Ixalan this card gives you an efficient counter against an artifact or creature spell while turning that interruption into card advantage. The printed name Hurl into History signals a blue answer that also digs for value by Discovering the exiled nonland with the same or lesser mana value.
Play it in midrange or control shells that want answers and reach. Counter target artifact or creature spell. Discover X where X is that spell's mana value. You exile from the top of your library until you exile a nonland card with that mana value or less. You may cast it without paying its mana cost or put it into your hand. The rest go on the bottom in a random order. The sequence rewards deck construction that leverages a tight mana curve and spells you want to cast for free.
