Bazaar Trademage

Creature — Human Wizard2 generic manaBlue mana

The discard is aimed at exactly one kind of deck: the sort that treats the graveyard as a resource rather than a dumping ground. Netting a card down looks like a losing trade until you notice the three cards leaving your hand are the payload. A 3/4 flier is a fine defensive body, but the enters trigger is built to shovel reanimation targets, delve fuel, or dredge fodder into the yard while smoothing your draws toward the payoff. The name nods to Magic's most famous graveyard-filling land, a repeatable draw-and-discard engine whose loop this card mimics in a single burst: two in, three out, a net gain of graveyard material at the cost of hand size. That inversion (spending cards to gain position) is the design signature of every self-mill and reanimation shell, and here it rides a blue creature that also blocks and pressures the air. Two things keep it honest to that plan: the trigger fires once, on entry, so there is no engine to abuse, and you have to be holding three cards you would happily bin in the first place. A hand you would gladly discard is a hand already built around the graveyard, so the card only earns its slot in a deck that has already committed to the plan.
