Nessian Wanderer

Creature — Satyr Scout1 generic manaGreen mana

Where the loud constellation payoffs of its era pushed damage or drain onto the opposing side of the table, this one turns the same "an enchantment entered" trigger into a private engine: repeatable filtering that quietly refills a hand. The key wording is "enters," not "cast," so the ability fires off an enchantment token, an aura returned from the graveyard, or a Saga arriving by any indirect route just as readily as off a hard-cast spell. That is what makes it worth building enchantment recursion around: every route to an enchantment on the battlefield is a route to a trigger. The 1/3 body is deliberately plain, a blocker that soaks the early pressure an enchantments shell invites, priced so the card earns its slot on the ability alone. The land clause is the honest limiter, and it cuts both ways. It only ever finds lands, never spells, so what it hands you is a land-for-free rather than a free pick of your best threat; and it only looks three deep, so a top three with no land whiffs entirely. Each hit is still a real card, though: a land you did not have to draw off the top. What the design withholds is selection breadth, not cards. The rest go to the bottom in random order, so you cannot mine the same window twice. A structural engine more than a threat.

Constellation — Whenever an enchantment you control enters, look at the top three cards of your library. You may reveal a land card from among them and put that card into your hand. Put the rest on the bottom of your library in a random order.
