Creature — Faerie Rogue3 generic manaBlack mana

The condition is the whole design: not "when you cast a spell on an opponent's turn," but your first spell during each opponent's turn, which means the theft engine rewards a player who holds up interaction rather than dumping everything on their own turn. Each opponent contributes one exiled card per turn cycle, and the any-color-mana clause strips out the usual friction of casting off the top of someone else's library, so the card you steal from the blue player is castable even in a mono-black shell. That instant-speed window is the load-bearing part. A flash counterspell, a removal spell, an end-step draw: any of these arms the trigger, so the card asks you to play a reactive game you were probably going to play anyway and taps the reward off it. The 2/2 body with flying and deathtouch is deliberately modest; it wants to connect for chip damage or trade up in combat, not carry the game. What it actually does is convert your normal turn-to-turn interaction into a slow, multi-source card-advantage engine, one top-of-library card at a time, with the theft scaling directly to how many opponents you face. It is a Faerie Rogue built for the political long game, where the payoff accrues to the player who was going to hold up mana regardless.

Rules text

Flying, deathtouch Whenever you cast your first spell during each opponent's turn, look at the top card of that player's library, then exile it face down. You may play that card for as long as it remains exiled, and mana of any type can be spent to cast it.
