Rationale

10cmc blue legend with flash, 5/4. ETB draws 7 cards each turn; reduces each opp's max hand size by 7, punishing card advantage and forcing discard. Premier card-draw engine and hand-disruption tool for control/spellslinger decks built around instant-speed plays. High mana cost limits aggro/tempo homes; removal-magnet threat; requires setup and lands in play. Signature in blue control shells with ramp or tutoring support.
