Coastal Discovery is card number 73 in the Battle for Zendikar set, released by Wizards of the Coast in 2015. As part of the Magic: The Gathering trading card game, this uncommon sorcery has a mana cost of three blue and one generic mana. The card offers players a strategic choice: cast it as a standard spell to draw two cards, or utilize its Awaken ability by paying five generic and one blue mana to place four +1/+1 counters on a target land, transforming it into a 0/0 Elemental creature with haste. Designed by artist Kieran Yanner, this card represents a key interaction within the set's lore, where the ancient Eldrazi threat forces the inhabitants of Zendikar to awaken their world. The Awaken mechanic allows casters to repurpose lands for combat presence, making Coastal Discovery a versatile tool for both resource acceleration and card advantage. Whether you are building a Commander deck, focusing on the Awaken theme, or simply collecting individual cards from the BFZ expansion, this product page aggregates available inventory. Collectors often seek out specific card numbers to complete their sets or to acquire cards that offer unique gameplay interactions not found in other expansions. The enduring appeal of Magic: The Gathering lies in its deep strategic layers, and cards like Coastal Discovery continue to be relevant for their flexible utility.
