About Borderland Explorer

This Borderland Explorer card would benefit a deck focused on ramping up mana quickly or fixing mana base, particularly in a casual or multiplayer setting where players are more likely to want to search for basic lands. However, in more competitive or focused decks, there are better options like Sakura-Tribe Elder or Farseek that provide more efficient ramping without the need for discarding cards, making them more viable choices for consistent and optimized gameplay. Overall, while Borderland Explorer has its niche uses, it may not see much play in more competitive Magic: the Gathering decks.
