Open the Way
Tracked across real Commander games played through TurnZero HQ.
What it does
X can't be greater than the number of players in the game.
Reveal cards from the top of your library until you reveal X land cards. Put those land cards onto the battlefield tapped and the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order.
Rulings
One official ruling, as Wizards published it.
- 2023-05-12
The number of players in the game is checked only as you choose the value for X. Once you've cast Open the Way, players leaving the game in response to the spell won't affect the number of land cards you'll find.
Rulings are Wizards of the Coast's own, mirrored from Scryfall and refreshed nightly.

Prices from Scryfall, which tracks the TCGplayer and Cardmarket markets. They move daily and are a guide rather than a quote. Search TCGplayer for Open the Way. It runs a name search across every version, which covers the printings TCGplayer publishes no direct link to.
Aggregated from Commander games tracked in TurnZero HQ. Every figure counts decks and games only. No individual deck list, player or playgroup is identified. Win rates are withheld below 5 completed games, where the sample is too small to mean anything.
