Rationale
2cmc 2/1 merfolk wizard. ETB: draw a card. Alternative cost: reveal a merfolk from hand to avoid paying 3 extra mana. Tier-1 staple in merfolk tempo/aggro — efficient body with card advantage if tribal density is met. Requires merfolk density to function properly; dead card if cast full-price in non-merfolk shells.
