Nicanzil, Current Conductor (The Lost Caverns of Ixalan) Near Mint Foil

Ride the Current with Nicanzil

Nicanzil, Current Conductor is a compact engine for landfall and growth in tempo oriented blue green lists. As a Legendary Creature Merfolk Scout that costs {U}{G} and sits at 2/3, Nicanzil turns each explore trigger into board presence. When a creature you control explores a land card you may drop a land from hand onto the battlefield tapped. This eases mana smoothing and accelerates midgame plays while keeping your curve intact.

The second ability rewards aggressive exploration. Whenever a creature you control explores a nonland card you put a +1/+1 counter on Nicanzil, Current Conductor. That incremental growth builds a resilient threat that fits into both aggro plus value shells and tempo based creature decks. In limited play Nicanzil doubles as a ramp piece and a growable attacker. In constructed lists it helps enable larger plays with minimal setup and interacts well with explore synergies and landfall triggers.
