Basic Conjuration
The Lesson subtype is the whole hook here: this exists not to be maindecked or built around directly, but to be pulled from outside the game with Learn, which is why its rate looks unusually restrained for what it is. Green has always paid a premium for card selection, digging deep but keeping only creatures, and this leans into that constraint hard: six cards is a wide look, but the filter is strictly creatures, and everything else goes to the bottom in random order rather than staying stacked. That randomization is the quiet tax on the dig; you get depth, not sequencing. The three life stapled on top is the tell that the card is priced as a toolbox option rather than a maindeck staple: it is the kind of small padding that matters when you are fetching a specific threat from a sideboard rather than casting a card you paid a slot for. Structurally it belongs to the family of green tutors that trade breadth for a body requirement, but the Learn access rewrites how you pay for it. A card you never have to draw, only summon when the board state calls for a creature, changes the math on running situational effects: the cost is a sideboard slot and a Learn trigger, not a deck slot and a topdeck. That is the design idea worth sitting with, more than the six-card dig itself.
