Oneirophage

Creature — Squid Illusion3 generic manaBlue mana

A payoff creature that turns the graveyard-agnostic act of drawing into a clock. The counter trigger fires on every card you draw, not just extra cards, so a normal draw step already grows it and any repeatable card-draw engine turns a 1/2 flyer into a serious evasive threat inside a turn or two. The design does something subtle with the trigger's phrasing: because it counts each individual draw rather than each spell or each turn, cantrips and pitch-cheap card selection each add a counter on their own, rewarding the wide, spell-dense builds that already want to be drawing cards for other reasons. Stapling the payoff to a flyer is what makes it a real clock: unlike a ground-bound grower that stalls behind blockers, an Oneirophage that survives a turn cycle threatens lethal the opponent cannot chump forever. The 1/2 body is the tax for all that upside, fragile enough that it dies to almost any burn spell or combat before it snowballs, which keeps the payoff honest: you have to protect it or land it into a board where it can immediately connect. This belongs to a long line of draw-matters bodies that reward you for what your deck was already doing, asking not that you build around it but that you already be a deck full of cheap cantrips and want a finisher those cantrips can grow.
