Coiling Oracle

Description

The Coiling Oracle, numbered 157 in the Modern Masters 2017 expansion, is a two-mana Common creature card from Magic: The Gathering. Designed with the mana cost {G}{U}, this creature belongs to the Snake Elf Druid type combination and possesses a power and toughness of 1/1. The card's unique ability triggers upon entering the battlefield, allowing the controller to reveal the top card of their library; if that card is a land, it is placed directly onto the battlefield, otherwise it is moved to the hand. This printing, released in 2017 under the set code MM3, features artwork by Mark Zug. The flavor text describes the card as embodying the Simic philosophy through the combination of nature and intellectual progress. As a Common rarity card, it serves as a functional piece for players constructing decks in formats where it is legal, offering a consistent way to accelerate land drops or draw additional cards. The card’s color identity remains Green and Blue, aligning with its mana cost and type requirements. Collectors and players interested in the Modern Masters 2017 product line will recognize this card as part of the curated reprint cycle designed to bring older mechanics into current play environments. The straightforward rules text and low mana cost make it a reliable option for various strategic builds.
