Valakut Exploration (Zendikar Rising #175)

Valakut Exploration {2}{R}

Enchantment

Landfall — Whenever a land you control enters, exile the top card of your library. You may play that card for as long as it remains exiled.

At the beginning of your end step, if there are cards exiled with Valakut Exploration, put them into their owner’s graveyard, then Valakut Exploration deals that much damage to each opponent.
