Mister Fantastic, Reed Richards

Legendary Creature — Human Scientist Hero3 generic manaBlue mana

The trigger here is quietly the most permissive draw engine blue has been handed in a while: it fires on tokens entering, not attacking, dying, or being sacrificed, and it counts a batch as a single event with "one or more." That last word is what keeps the whole thing from spiraling. A wide swarm does not translate into a draw-seven; whether one token or ten arrive at once, you get exactly one card, which stops the effect from becoming a token-strategy runaway. What it rewards instead is frequency: the deck that makes tokens in dribs across many turns, on many separate stacks, banks a card each time, while the deck that dumps a board all at once nets a single card and a stretched-out neck to feed. The 2/4 body with Reach is doing deliberate work too. It wants to survive to see those triggers accumulate, so it is built to block fliers and outlast removal rather than press an offense. Blue rarely gets to convert board presence into cards without a spell in hand, and the older versions of this idea always attached a cost or a condition: Bident of Thassa gated the draw behind combat damage, and black's take on it taxed you a creature per card. This one asks for almost nothing except the once-per-batch limiter, and that restraint is the load-bearing part of the design.
