Rationale

4cmc flyer that taxes and draws when opponents cast spells matching a chosen number (1–10 for mana value, power, or toughness). Signature in control/midrange shells as repeatable card-draw and drain engine; soft control that rewards prediction. Conditional trigger (dependent on opp's spell choices) and telegraphed (you announce the number upfront), creating variance. Vulnerable to removal before activating. Works best in metas with predictable threats (Storm's 1-drop stormers, X/4 midrange blockers, etc.).
