Seismic Sense

Sorcery — LessonGreen mana

The card-selection payoff scales off a resource that is usually just sitting on the battlefield producing mana: your lands. Most green digging in this lineage ties depth to raw mana investment (pay more, see more) or to a creature-count clock, but this one keys off land count, so the spell sharpens precisely as the game grinds and every fetch, ramp piece, and land drop compounds the pile you look at. Early it is a modest peek; deep in a land-heavy deck it becomes a wide look that reliably finds the missing creature or land, sweeping everything you passed over to the bottom in random order so the excess lands you declined don't linger on top to be redrawn next turn. The Lesson type line is the wrinkle worth naming: it lives in the learn-accessible zone rather than the maindeck by default, a tutorable smoothing spell you reach for once you already know you are short on bodies or lands, not a fixed slot you draw into blind. That reframing narrows the job honestly. The real discipline is in what the effect refuses to touch: it whiffs on any noncreature, nonland card entirely, showing you a burn spell or a counter only to bury it with the rest. That restraint separates a scaling one-mana selection spell from a scaling one-mana draw spell, and it is what buys the rate a single green mana.
