Pillage the Bog — Tactical Salvage from the Mire
Pillage the Bog offers a reliable draw effect that scales with your land base. Pillage the Bog lets you inspect the top X cards of your library where X equals twice the number of lands you control, choose one to add to your hand and place the rest on the bottom of your library in random order. It reads like a measured tutor that rewards board development and careful sequencing in midrange or control decks that can maximize land count and hit critical answers or threats.
As an Outlaws of Thunder Junction rare, Pillage the Bog pairs well with fetches and land ramp. The plot mechanic gives an alternate route to cast it later without paying mana which interacts cleanly with hand disruption and timing windows. Expect this card to function as a disciplined selection tool rather than a windfall of cards and plan accordingly when building around late game consistency.

Card Text / Rules Text (Printed) – Look at the top X cards of your library, where X is twice the number of lands you control. Put one of them into your hand and the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order. Plot 1{B}{B} (You may pay 1{B}{B} and exile this card from your hand. Cast it as a sorcery on a later turn without paying its mana cost. Plot only as a sorcery.)
