This Merfolk Branchwalker card could be beneficial in a green-based midrange or aggro deck that aims to have a consistent mana base while also benefiting from card advantage and creature growth. Its explore ability provides flexibility and can help smooth out draws. However, in more competitive settings, there may be more powerful options available for similar mana costs, such as Tarmogoyf or Scavenging Ooze, which could potentially outshine Merfolk Branchwalker in certain strategies.

Rules

01/19/18

If a resolving spell or ability instructs a specific creature to explore but that creature has left the battlefield, the creature still explores. If you reveal a nonland card this way, you won’t put a +1/+1 counter on anything, but you may put the revealed card into your graveyard. Effects that trigger “whenever a creature you control explores” trigger if appropriate.

01/19/18

Once an ability that causes a creature to explore begins to resolve, no player may take any other actions until it’s done. Notably, opponents can’t try to remove the exploring creature after you reveal a nonland card but before it receives a counter.
