Kayla's Reconstruction

The scaling here is unusually literal for a mass-cheat effect: X is not a discount on total cost but a hard cap on how many hits from the dig you can actually deploy, so you pay for the ceiling twice, once in the X and again in how densely you have stocked your deck with three-drops and below. That triple-white pip is the constraint doing the real balancing work, gating this out of anything that is not committed to a heavy white base, and the mana-value-3-or-less clause keeps the payoff floor honest: no free-casting a haymaker off the top, only a board's worth of small permanents at once. What you get for the discipline is a white take on the "look, then commit multiple bodies" pattern that green and black have historically owned, translated into a color that usually pays retail for every creature it plays. The random-bottoming of the misses is the quiet tax: unlike a tutor, there is no sculpting what you leave behind, and the unchosen cards go to the bottom of the library in a random order rather than staying accessible, so a whiff on a small X buries the rest of the seven you looked at where you cannot dig them back quickly. The build that rewards it runs a low, redundant curve where any X worth of top-seven cards is likely to be live, not a toolbox fishing for one specific piece.
