Icewind Elemental

Blue's loot-on-a-body template, dressed in the color's most familiar chassis: a flying blocker that filters a card the moment it lands. The five-mana price and 3/4 body place it in the utility-creature tradition rather than the premium-threat one; you play it for the enters trigger and treat the flier as a bonus that survives to pressure the air on later turns. Card filtering stapled to a permanent has always been the quiet workhorse of blue midrange, letting a deck smooth its draws while committing a body to the board. Where older filtering came attached to instants and sorceries and vanished after resolving, folding the loot into a creature means the effect leaves something behind and dodges the one-and-done nature of a spell. The draw-then-discard clause does more than dig: it feeds graveyard strategies, pitches situational cards, and turns a dead draw into a live one, all while the flier chips in. This is unglamorous common-to-uncommon design, the kind that fills out a curve without asking to headline it: closer to a reliable role-player than a build-around.
