Callous Deceiver

Block-era Spirits leaned hard on small bodies stapled to library-manipulation hooks: engines that read as deck-thinning value and played as slow stalls. This 1/3 carries two such activations. The first is pure information, a one-mana glance at the top of your library so you know what your next draw holds before you commit mana elsewhere. The second is the gimmick, a once-per-turn coin flip that reveals the top card and pays out a one-point pump and flying, but only when the reveal is a land. That condition is the whole tension: stack your deck with lands and the payout climbs, but a deck flush with lands is a deck starved of action, so the reward fights everything else your draw wants to do. Pairing the abilities is the intended loop (look, then decide whether the reveal is worth the mana), yet the look only tells you the answer; it cannot rearrange the top to manufacture one, so a non-land on top means the attack ability does nothing that turn. What you get is an evasive threat that only graduates to evasion when the library cooperates, and a 1/3 with no other defensive upside is not a clock worth babysitting to chase that cooperation. It plays as a design experiment, probing how much top-of-library payout a small flier could carry before the conditional priced it out of relevance.
