Gurmag Nightwatch

Creature — Human Ranger2 generic or Black mana2 generic or Green mana2 generic or Blue mana

Dig three, keep up to one, bin the rest: this is a self-mill enabler wearing the frame of a midsize body, and the enters trigger is what you are actually paying for. That top-card selection separates it from blind mill, functioning like a compressed dig that sets up your next draw while feeding a graveyard with delve fuel, flashback targets, or reanimation fodder. The 3/3 is incidental; the creature is a delivery vehicle for the trigger. What makes the design flexible is the way each mana pip can be paid with two generic instead of a colored symbol, so a graveyard deck of almost any color combination can run it while still counting as a Sultai card on paper. That is the tension the design resolves: graveyard payoffs usually demand real color commitment, and this asks for almost none, trading raw efficiency (six mana is a steep price when you pay it entirely in generic) for the freedom to run it anywhere the graveyard matters. The card refuses to fight your manabase; it just wants a yard worth stocking.

When this creature enters, look at the top three cards of your library. You may put one of those cards back on top of your library. Put the rest into your graveyard.
