Eluge, the Shoreless Sea
Legendary Creature — Elemental Fish
Eluge's power and toughness are each equal to the number of Islands you control.
Whenever Eluge enters or attacks, put a flood counter on target land. It's an Island in addition to its other types for as long as it has a flood counter on it.
The first instant or sorcery spell you cast each turn costs (or
) less to cast for each land you control with a flood counter on it.

In the case where the first instant or sorcery spell you cast in a turn does cost some
but you control more lands with flood counters on them than the number of
in that spell’s mana cost, all of the
in the cost are reduced first before moving on to the generic mana. For example, if you control four lands with flood counters on them and you cast Season of Weaving (a sorcery with mana cost

To determine the total cost of a spell, start with the mana cost or alternative cost you’re paying (such as a flashback cost), add any cost increases (such as kicker costs), then apply any cost reductions (such as that of this ability). The mana value of the spell is determined by only its mana cost, no matter what the total cost to cast that spell was.
