A-Vega, the Watcher

The payoff condition is not "cast a spell" but "cast a spell from anywhere other than your hand," and that narrower window is the entire design. The trigger recruits the whole toolbox of alternate-source casting into a card-draw engine: foretell, flashback, adventures, escape, cascade, spells launched out of exile or straight off the top of the deck. Because the ability fires on cast rather than on resolution, the draw is banked once the spell hits the stack, so an opponent who counters it has already paid you a card for the trouble. It rewards a deck that launders its spells through the graveyard and exile rather than one that just plays a heap of cheap threats from hand. The body keeps the engine from being a liability: flying supplies evasion and a clock, and the ward tax forces an opponent to overpay before they can unplug your advantage. This is the rebalanced, digital-only retuning of its paper counterpart, but the central tension is identical in both frames: how far do you push casting outside your hand before the draw trigger stops being incidental value and becomes the whole plan?
