Depths Turned Weapon
Restless Reef from The Lost Caverns of Ixalan is a dual color land that adds consistent blue or black mana while offering a late game role as a threatening attacker. Restless Reef enters the battlefield tapped so plan your early plays accordingly. Tap it for {U} or {B} to smooth out your mana curve and keep tempo intact.
The real utility comes from the activated ability that temporarily animates the reef into a 4/4 blue and black Shark creature with deathtouch while it remains a land. That change gives you a surprise attacker and a deterrent against large blockers. When it attacks the opposing player mills four cards which can fuel graveyard synergies or disrupt their draw plan. For control or mill focused decks this card is a reliable piece that doubles as both mana source and incremental advantage.
