Artifact Creature — Human Wizard2 generic manaBlue manaBlack mana

The enters trigger is library manipulation pointed in either direction: peek at the top three cards of any player's library and stack them however you like. Aimed at yourself it smooths your next few draws; aimed across the table it is mild disruption, sinking an opponent's best topdeck beneath two cards you would rather they drew. That is information and a small nudge, not card advantage, and the whole effect fires on the way in, so the 3/3 left behind has to carry the rest. The hybrid cycling cost is what keeps the card from going inert. A single blue-or-black mana trades the dead draw for a fresh one, so a late-game copy is never the creature you are stuck holding. The body and the cycling clause are two separate uses you choose between on the draw step, and the hybrid pip is where the flexibility hides: the cycling fits a deck running either color even though hard-casting the creature wants both. The design is an exercise in handing a marginal effect an escape hatch. The top-three reorder earns the slot wherever nudging a library matters, and the cycling guarantees the card never rots in hand when that plan comes to nothing.
