Rationale
2cmc legendary wizard. Static: instant/sorcery spells cost {1} less. Triggered: whenever your spell/ability counters a spell, draw a card, discard a card. Premier cost-reducer for spellslinger shells and control decks running heavy counter packages. Card-draw synergizes with instant/sorcery self-mill payoffs in combo. Requires high instant/sorcery density and counter density to function; 1/3 body is fragile.
