Opt

Description

Released in 2017 as card number 65, this common instant is celebrated for its efficiency in blue-based strategies. With a mana cost of just one blue mana, Opt provides immediate value that helps players stabilize their hands and find the answers they need. The card’s dual effect allows mages to scry one, letting them look at the top card of their library and choose to put it on the bottom or keep it on top. This small adjustment can be crucial for setting up future turns. Following the scry effect, the player draws a card, restoring resources and maintaining momentum. This combination of card selection and acquisition makes Opt a staple in many competitive and casual decks alike. Opt, illustrated by Craig J Spearing, captures the essence of the set's adventurous spirit. The flavor text hints at the strategic decisions pirates face, adding depth to the card's narrative. For those building a complete Ixalan collection or seeking versatile spells for their library, this card is an essential addition. Its straightforward design and powerful utility ensure it remains a favorite among Magic enthusiasts.
