Matzalantli, the Great Door (Extended Art) (The Lost Caverns of Ixalan) Light Play

Gateway to Graveyard Value

Matzalantli, the Great Door puts a compact engine on the battlefield. With a casting cost of {3} this legendary artifact trades a single activation for card selection and sets up a delayed transformation condition. The first ability reads as a straightforward cantrip that smooths draws and fills the graveyard, while the secondary ability turns the card into a payoff once your graveyard hosts enough permanent types to meet the requirement.

Use Matzalantli, the Great Door in decks that prefer graveyard diversity and repeatable card advantage. It rewards deliberate deckbuilding where lands artifacts creatures enchantments and planeswalkers can all be relevant to the transform trigger. The extended art treatment highlights the door motif and fits cleanly in commander and midrange builds where incremental value and a late game upgrade matter.
