Dig Up Value with Intrepid Paleontologist
Intrepid Paleontologist is a compact toolbox for green decks that want flexible mana and graveyard interaction. At {1}{G} this Human Druid pulls double duty. You can tap it for one mana of any color to fix lineups midgame and pay two to exile threats from any graveyard. The card supports tempo plays and prepares your graveyard for future resurrection without committing a large body to the board.
Its real utility comes from the exile engine. You may cast Dinosaur creature spells from among cards you own exiled with Intrepid Paleontologist. Casting creatures this way gives them a finality counter on entry which matters to decks that recur or manipulate counters. In practical terms this is a tutor like effect that rewards planning. Use it to set up surprise blockers or to fetch game enders out of exile when opponents least expect it.
