Monstrous Vortex: Big Creatures, Big Payoff
Monstrous Vortex sits in green focused lists that lean into resilient threats and value engines. For {3}{G}, this uncommon Enchantment rewards you for casting creature spells with real power, triggering a Discover that scales with the creature’s mana value. The mechanic invites you to lean into your top end and dig for a payoff that complements a heavy hitter strategy without slowing your ramp or tempo.
On the ground it acts as a value engine that smooths draws when you need to find another threat or answer. Exile cards from the top of your library until you exile a nonland card with that mana value 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. This can chain your wins by pulling targeted spells from the top of the deck while keeping pressure on your opponent. In practice, Monstrous Vortex rewards planning and rewards presence of big creatures on the battlefield.
