Realm Seekers

Description

Realm Seekers is a distinctive creature card from the Magic: The Gathering Commander 2016 expansion, identified by card number 162 and set code C16. Designed by Mike Sass, this Rare card represents a strategic option for players building mono-green decks within the Commander format. As a Creature — Elf Scout, it requires a mana cost of {4}{G}{G} to cast, resulting in a mana value of 6. The card’s design centers around a powerful entry effect that rewards players with large hands. Upon entering the battlefield, Realm Seekers arrives with a number of +1/+1 counters equal to the total number of cards held by all players at the game table. This mechanic encourages a playstyle that emphasizes hand management and board presence, allowing the creature to grow significantly in size during the early to mid-game phases. Beyond its initial power, Realm Seekers offers ongoing utility through its activated ability. By paying {2}{G} and removing a single +1/+1 counter, the controller can search their library for a basic land card, reveal it to add to their hand, and then shuffle the library. This land search capability provides crucial mana acceleration, helping players stabilize their resource base or hit their land drops consistently. This functionality makes the card a valuable asset for collectors and players who appreciate cards that blend board presence with resource generation. The card remains a popular choice for those who enjoy scaling creatures and land acceleration strategies.
