Dire Fleet Interloper

Certain abilities instruct a permanent to explore. To do so, that permanent’s controller reveals the top card of their library. If a land card is revealed this way, that player puts that card into their hand. Otherwise, that player puts a +1/+1 counter on the exploring permanent and may put the revealed card into their graveyard.

A permanent “explores” after the process described in rule 701.40a is complete, even if some or all of those actions were impossible.

If a permanent changes zones before an effect causes it to explore, its last known information is used to determine which object explored and who controlled it.

Menace is an evasion ability.

A creature with menace can’t be blocked except by two or more creatures. (See rule 509, “Declare Blockers Step.”)

Multiple instances of menace on the same creature are redundant.
