Legendary Creature — Dragon BardGreen manaBlue mana

Two mana of continuous library-peeking with a Dragon-shaped conditional bolted on, and the friction between those two halves is the whole design. The first ability is generically useful: perpetual sight of your next draw smooths sequencing and turns fetch and scry into deliberate setup. The second is where the card commits, letting you play Dragons directly from your library without ever holding them, which reads like raw card advantage until you count how few decks run enough Dragons to keep that draw reliably castable. That is the balancing act: the engine only fires in a shell built almost entirely around one creature type, and the 1/4 body tells you what this actually is, an early-drop enabler that lands cheap and holds the ground while the deck assembles, not a threat that pressures anyone. The color pairing is the notable choice. Green and blue are the colors of selection and inevitability rather than the traditional red home of Dragons, so a deck built here wins through setup and grind, not tempo. The card sits in a narrow lineage of "cast permanents you can see but haven't drawn" designs alongside Future Sight and Vivien, Champion of the Wilds, but pared down to a single tribe: it trades universal reach for a tighter, more repeatable engine that only exists once the surrounding deck is correct.
