Fang, Fearless l'Cie
Graveyard payoffs almost always fire on entry: a creature dies, something exiles it for value, the trigger looks at cards going into the yard. This one inverts the sensor. It watches for cards leaving your graveyard, which means the exile, the reanimation, the flashback, the delve payment: each of those departures now cashes out into a card and a point of life. The once-per-turn clamp is what keeps it from spiraling: without it, a graveyard-heavy shell that shuffles cards in and out repeatedly would draw its whole deck, so the ability accepts "one or more cards" in a single trigger and refuses to fire again until the next turn. That turns the card into a steady spigot rather than an engine, and it rewards you for building a yard you intend to spend rather than hoard. The life cost keeps the draw honest and ties the card to black's usual bargain: cards are never free, they cost a little of you. The meld clause with Vanille, Cheerful l'Cie gives it a second identity as half of a larger threat, but the design worth studying is the trigger itself, a reversal of the standard graveyard-matters template that opens a payoff for effects most decks treat as pure resource conversion.
