Rationale

3cmc legendary 2/2 wizard. ETB bounces up to one creature or planeswalker; end-step card draw if you returned a permanent to hand. Signature in flicker/blink shells that leverage the bounce trigger repeatedly; good tempo/control play as a cheap removal + card advantage engine. Risk: requires a permanent to actually go hand to hand and return to get the draw—commander-dependent on build having sufficient blink/flicker synergies or other bounce outlets.
