1 generic, tap: Search your library for a basic land card, put that card onto the battlefield tapped, then shuffle. Return this land to its owner's hand at the beginning of the next cleanup step.

Legality

Rulings (2)

  • Because the “search” requires you to find a card with certain characteristics, you don’t have to find the card if you don’t want to.
  • The land put onto the battlefield does not count toward your one per turn limit because it was put onto the battlefield by an effect.
