How do Water decks get more out of Lotus of the Mizuryuu?
Hydromancy Gate pays part of its cost back, Gate of Echoed Waves can return it from your discard pile, and Benzai the Sly can make it cost 1.
Step by step
- Hydromancy Gate, the Shao lists’ Gate: portaling untaps IKZ up to the entity’s Gate Power, so you can cast Lotus of the Mizuryuu and still have IKZ for more that turn.
- Gate of Echoed Waves, the Benzai list’s Gate: portal an entity with Gate Power 3, like Mizuryuu Fist Master or Naiyara the Tideweaver, to return Lotus from your discard pile to your hand.
- Benzai the Sly: once you’ve discarded a card this turn, pay 1 IKZ and your next card costs 2 less, so Lotus costs 1.
Good to know
Gate of Echoed Waves needs Lotus already in your discard pile, so cast it before you portal.
Fractured Domains isn’t out until November 20, 2026. This is our read of the revealed card text, not an official ruling.
