Deepfathom Echo, identified as card number 228 in the 2023 Magic: The Gathering expansion The Lost Caverns of Ixalan, is a four-mana Creature — Merfolk Spirit with a power and toughness of 4/4. Designed by artist Matt Stewart, this rare card offers a distinct gameplay experience centered around exploration and adaptability. The card's ability triggers at the beginning of combat on your turn, prompting you to explore by revealing the top card of your library. If that card is a land, it moves to your hand; otherwise, Deepfathom Echo gains a +1/+1 counter, and the revealed card is returned to the top of your library or sent to the graveyard. Following this exploration step, you may choose to have Deepfathom Echo become a copy of another creature you control until the end of turn. This flexibility allows players to adjust the creature's abilities and stats dynamically during combat, making it a versatile tool in decks that value resource management and tactical adaptation. Collectors appreciate the card for its intricate rules text and its role within the broader narrative of the Ixalan plane. Whether building a casual collection or seeking specific mechanics for gameplay, Deepfathom Echo represents a key piece of the LCI set's design. The card's unique interaction between exploration and copying mechanics makes it a notable addition for fans of the Merfolk subtype and spirit creatures.
