Rationale
4cmc 2/3 Merfolk Wizard — ETB taps and stun-counters a creature, then rewards you with a card draw once per turn whenever you tap opponent creatures. Signature in tap-matters / control shells (Opposition, Glare of Subdual, Master of Waves type builds) and pairs naturally with merfolk typal that runs mass-tap effects. Requires opponent board presence to generate ongoing value, making it win-more; the ETB stun is a respectable entry play but the draw engine demands a dedicated tap-matters shell to shine.
Learnings (3)
Sharae's draw trigger fires once per turn regardless of how many opponent creatures you tap in one sequence — build around mass-tap effects (Opposition, Glare of Subdual, Twiddle) to maximize the once-per-turn ceiling.

The stun counter from her ETB means the tapped creature skips its next untap step entirely, giving Sharae's controller two turns of pseudo-removal value from a single ETB trigger — relevant timing difference from a simple Icy Manipulator effect.

In merfolk tribal, Sharae pairs especially well with lords that grant tap abilities or cards like Merrow Reejerey that tap creatures on spell cast, turning every merfolk spell into a card draw trigger.
