Zendikar Rising: Sea Gate Restoration

Zendikar Rising: Sea Gate Restoration is a rare modal double-faced card (MDFC) from the Zendikar Rising set in Magic: The Gathering. It features two sides:

Front Side – Sea Gate Restoration

• Card Type: Sorcery

• Mana Cost: 4UUU

• Text:

  Draw cards equal to the number of cards in your hand plus one. You have no maximum hand size for the rest of the game.

This is a powerful draw spell, especially in control or combo decks that want to keep a full grip and don't want to discard at end step.

Back Side – Sea Gate, Reborn

• Card Type: Land

• Text:

  (As you cast this spell, you may pay 3 life. If you don’t, it enters the battlefield tapped.)
  {T}: Add {U}.

Like other modal double-faced cards from Zendikar Rising, this lets you choose whether to play it as a spell or as a land, giving you flexibility depending on the game state.

Why It’s Good

• Versatility: Either draw a bunch of cards later or play it early as a land.

• Control-friendly: Great in blue-heavy decks that want late-game value and early-game land drops.

• No maximum hand size: Particularly synergistic with decks that plan to draw a lot of cards.
