New Benalia

Land

The trade is a clean one: the white source enters tapped, and in exchange the deck gets a peek at the top of its library and the option to bury a blank draw. That tap clause is the whole price of the scry, and it is a price aggressive white decks pay reluctantly and control decks pay gladly. The design bolts a card-selection trigger onto an otherwise basic-quality source, smoothing draws without committing a spell to do the work. Where most fixing lands weigh color access against speed, this one trades tempo for consistency: the turn spent entering tapped is recovered over the long game in fewer flooded draws and fewer screwed ones. It is selection, not advantage; the scry filters but never refills, so the value compounds quietly across a game rather than swinging any single turn. That makes it a deck-builder's land rather than a board-state land, the kind whose contribution never shows up in combat math but reads clearly in how often the right card arrives on time.
