Why it matters
First appearing in Odyssey and reprinted in the 2012 Planechase set, Erratic Explosion represents a classic red card design that rewards players for managing the top of their library. By dealing damage equal to the converted mana cost of a revealed card, it serves as a quintessential example of the chaotic, high-variance gameplay often associated with the color red in Magic: The Gathering.

What it does
Choose any target. Reveal cards from the top of your library until you reveal a nonland card. Erratic Explosion deals damage equal to that card's mana value to that permanent or player. Put the revealed cards on the bottom of your library in any order.
