Cream of the Crop

Enchantment1 generic manaGreen mana

A library-sculpting engine that scales its dig to the power of whatever creature just entered, and the wording draws a sharp line between what it does and what it doesn't. The trigger fires on each creature entering, lets you look at the top X cards equal to that creature's power, then keep exactly one on top and bury the rest at the bottom. That single clause sets the card's whole logic. A high-power creature looks deep into the library and lets you choose the best of several options, sending everything you passed on to the bottom where it won't clutter your next several draws. A one-power creature looks at exactly one card and puts it back: no selection, no churn, just a peek. So the engine is indifferent to a swarm of tiny tokens and hungry for repeatable entries of meaningful size, where each look both finds something useful and clears chaff out of the way. The selection is reordering, not drawing; it stacks the top of the deck for a deck that already knows what it wants next, rather than refilling a hand. Pair it with anything that returns a sizable creature to the battlefield and the look fires again, each time as deep as that body's power. The precision cuts both ways: it rewards going wide on power, and quietly punishes going wide on bodies that hit for one.

Rules text

Whenever a creature you control enters, you may look at the top X cards of your library, where X is that creature's power. If you do, put one of those cards on top of your library and the rest on the bottom of your library in any order.
