Cartographer is a cost cantrip which offers the ability to sift through and sort the top 4 cards of your deck. It is hard to imagine a deck that would not benefit from a Cartographer, as the sorting/sifting ability plays well in both Big Money and engine decks.

FAQ
Official FAQ
- You draw a card first, then look at the top 4 cards of your deck.
- If there are fewer that 4 cards left in your deck, look at the remaining cards, and shuffle your discard pile (which does not include those cards) to get the remainder needed to look at.
- If there are still not enough cards, just look at as many as you can. Discard any number of the cards you looked at – none, all four, or something in-between – and put the rest back on top of your deck in any order.
- If there were no cards left in your deck, these become the only cards in your deck.
- You do not reveal the cards you put back.
