# Monstrous Vortex
- **Mana Cost:** `{3}{G}` (CMC: 4)
- **Type:** Enchantment
- **Keywords:** Discover

## Oracle Text
Whenever you cast a creature spell with power 5 or greater, discover X, where X is that spell's mana value. (Exile cards from the top of your library until you exile a nonland card with that mana value or less. Cast it without paying its mana cost or put it into your hand. Put the rest on the bottom in a random order.)
