Lost Caverns of Ixalan has a bunch of new abilities coming, with Explore also making a comeback.

  • Discover {X}: exile cards from the top of your library uintil you exile a nonland card with mana value X or less. You can cast the card without paying its mana cost or put it into your hand. Then put the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order.

  • Descend {X}: triggers or enables an ability if there are X or more permanent cards in your graveyard.

  • Craft {X}: exile this card, exile any other listed card types from the battlefield or graveyard, and pay {X}. Return this card transformed. Craft only as a sorcery.

  • Explore: reveal the top card of your library. Put that card into your hand if it's a land. Otherwise, put a +1/+1 counter on this creature, then put the card back or put it into your graveyard.

The Discover amount is higher than the MV of the cards we've seen it on so far, which seems kinda busted. Maybe I'm not properly considering the odds of hitting cards with close to the max MV, but right now I think it's looking really powerful.

Sorry if you're referring to the 10 I had in there, that was a typo from copying what was on [[Hit the Mother Lode]]!

Otherwise yes though, Discover values seem to be pretty high compared to the CMC of the cards they're on so far.
