­Cave Crocodile + Island

A land destruction matters creature; blueshifted.

Hmm. Oh I know, we can play off the traditional blue/green hate, and into Blue's "Knowledge matters".

Statswise, blue prefers 1/3 to 3/1; and gets it vanilla for {1}{u}.

Repeatedly revealing a card isn't easy to arrange (if it's on top of your deck there's stuff that can do it for {1} though) so this does need a slight cost bump. But I'll try it at 3 for now.

Flavour - it's a crocodile that's smart enough to read your maps and lay in wait.

I made a common!

­Sasaya, Orochi Ascendant can repeatedly reveal cards from your hand for free.

How does this interact with Telepathy type effects?

I'd rule it as firing when a card is added to the hand, it then becomes revealed.

Orochi is more of a problem, suggests this needs "you may pay {1}; if you do..." which is yuck.

"{1}: The next time a land is revealed..." doesn't read as bad, imo.
