Few appreciate this card but the battle turns significantly in your favor when you play it. Thins your deck and puts you ahead on land next turn. Feeds Emeria and when it comes back it feeds it some more. Its mana acceleration that also gives you a chump blocker that you will be far to eager to let die. It is card advantage for a white deck. Comparing this to cards from a color who specializes in mana acceleration is just ridiculous.

Worse than Borderland Ranger and Civic Wayfinder? I fail to see how as unless you have cards such as Elvish Pioneer you will be unable to put the found card into play along with another land.

This is a green card that somehow got printed as white. Not like it will break the game or anything, but isn't that pushing separation of colors a bit too far? What's to stop them from printing a red counterspell, or a green bounce?
Maybe I'm over reacting, but I don't like this card.

A standard land fetch.

@darkfury: No. The shuffling happens if you search your library for a Plains, not as a react to putting the Plains into play.

I like how it is very pointedly worse than Borderland Ranger and Civic Wayfinder. I'm not sure if its as good in white, though.

Eh, wouldn't've been broken (at least compared to the rest of White's stupidity) at 2W instead of 3W. As-is, completely overshadowed by Knight of the White Orchid and Weathered Wayfarer and the like. Being a Kor may nice, but its Scout subtype is less relevant than those of the other two.

loophole:
since you do not have to find the plains card, you may look at your current shuffle, and if you like it, keep it that way and not find a land. this is because of how the clause for the shuffling works, as it will only trigger if you put a plains into play.

I thought it was bad, but it grew on me. I like how, unlike the knight of the white orchid, the ability always works, yeah it is expensive but it works in the right deck.
as for borderland ranger comparison, they are just different enough to make it hard to compare. Borderland puts a land in your hand and cartographer puts it into play, I mean, battlefield.
Wood elves put it into play but cartographer is bigger.
It may not be amazingly good but in a slow mono white deck, it can speeds things up. Not to mention
emeria, the sky ruin

Not bad, some white fetch in a set that features a lot of landfall. Nothing to write home about, but not terrible either.
2.5/5
